Hanyul Red Rice Hydrating Serum — Fermented Yeoju Rice with Vegan Ceramides & Squalane for Deep Hydration

HANYUL Red Rice Hydrating Serum is a fermented Yeoju rice-based face serum with vegan ceramides and squalane designed to deeply hydrate, support the skin barrier, and improve elasticity.

This lightweight serum combines tradition and modern skin science: double-fermented Yeoju rice extract provides concentrated moisture while a vegan ceramide complex and squalane help reinforce the skin’s natural barrier. The formula also leverages postbiotic microbiome technology to soothe and balance, delivering a plumping yet non-greasy finish suitable for everyday use.

How does this serum lock in moisture effectively?

The serum uses a high-concentration fermented rice essence that attracts and holds water, together with squalane and a vegan ceramide blend that mimic the skin’s own lipids to reduce moisture loss. This combination hydrates immediately and helps sustain that hydration over time.

• 50% milled brown rice, organically grown in Yeoju, double-fermented into red rice
• Vegan ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids to reinforce lipid layers
• Squalane for lightweight occlusion and smoothness
• Instrumental data showing multi-hour hydration improvement*

Will it improve skin texture and firmness?

The formula includes seaweed-derived extensin that supports visible elasticity while postbiotic ingredients help calm and optimize the skin environment. Users may notice a firmer, more even surface with continued use as moisture and barrier resilience improve.

• Extensin from seaweed for elasticity-like support
• Postbiotics to balance the skin microbiome and reduce irritation
• Reported improvements in texture and tone after regular application**

How quickly can I expect results and how should I use it daily?

Immediate hydration is noticeable on first application due to the fermented rice extract and humectants. For best results, apply to clean, toned skin morning and night, follow with moisturizer, and layer sunscreen in the daytime.

• Apply a few drops to cleansed skin; pat gently until absorbed
• Use morning and evening before heavier creams
• Incorporate sunscreen during daytime for overall skin health

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The blend focuses on strengthening the barrier and using microbiome-supporting postbiotics, which can help minimize reactivity. Its lightweight, non-comedogenic base and plant-derived lipids make it compatible with many skin types, but patch testing is recommended if you have highly reactive skin.

• Microbiome technology and postbiotics help calm and fortify skin
• Non-greasy texture suitable for layering under other products
• Recommended patch test for very reactive or allergy-prone skin

Who is this for: HANYUL Red Rice Hydrating Serum is aimed at anyone looking to boost skin hydration, improve barrier function, and enhance elasticity without heavy oils — including dry, combination, and aging skin types. It’s particularly appealing to users who prefer plant-forward, fermented ingredients and vegan ceramide alternatives. If you want a daily, easily layered serum that draws on traditional Korean rice fermentation and modern microbiome insights, this serum is a strong option.
