ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum

ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum

Barrier repair and brightening — in one serum. The ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum from ANUA is built on ANUA RICERA™ — a proprietary complex of seven rice-derived ingredients combined with Ceramide NP — alongside 3% Niacinamide, Dual Arbutin, Honey Extract, and 3 forms of Hyaluronic Acid. The "7" is literal: seven distinct rice ingredients working together to brighten, condition, and support the skin barrier while the ceramide and Niacinamide combination actively repairs and strengthens it. Nourishing but lightweight — suitable for all skin types including oily and blemish-prone.

Fragrance-free, vegan, cruelty-free.

Size: 50ml / 1.69 fl. oz.

Why we love it

Most routines separate barrier repair and brightening into two different products. The ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum handles both at once — and does it with a formula that's more thoughtfully built than most. The ANUA RICERA™ complex is the foundation: seven rice-derived ingredients that collectively brighten, condition, and nourish from multiple angles — Rice Bran Water as the hydration base, Rice Extract for concentrated actives, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein and Rice Seed Protein for skin-conditioning amino acids, and more. Ceramide NP then repairs the barrier directly, while 3% Niacinamide supports the skin's own ability to produce more ceramides over time — so the barrier gets stronger with consistent use, not just while you're wearing the serum. Dual Arbutin tackles dark spots and post-blemish marks. Honey Extract adds a nourishing, softening quality that makes this serum feel distinctively more comfortable than thinner aqueous formulas. And Zinc Stearate keeps sebum in check — which is why this nourishing formula works equally well for oily and blemish-prone skin. At BestSkincareUSA.com, the ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum is our top barrier-focused brightening serum from ANUA for anyone whose skin needs glow and repair at the same time.

Key ingredients

• ANUA RICERA™ (7 rice-derived ingredients) — Seven distinct rice ingredients — Rice Bran Water, Rice Extract, Defatted Rice Bran Extract, Defatted Rice Bran, Rice Bran, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, and Rice Seed Protein — that together deliver brightening, antioxidant, conditioning, and barrier-supporting benefits from every part of the rice grain.
• Ceramide NP + 3% Niacinamide — Ceramide NP directly replenishes the skin's natural barrier lipids; Niacinamide at 3% helps the skin produce more of its own ceramides over time — so the barrier gets both immediate and long-term repair in one formula.
• Dual Arbutin (Alpha-Arbutin + Arbutin) — Two forms of Arbutin that work together to reduce the appearance of dark spots and post-blemish marks — one acting quickly, the other providing longer-lasting sustained brightening.
• Honey Extract + Beta-Glucan + Hydroxyethyl Urea — Honey Extract nourishes, softens, and hydrates with natural humectant and antioxidant properties. Beta-Glucan soothes and strengthens the barrier. Hydroxyethyl Urea is a gentle but highly effective moisture-drawing ingredient that keeps skin hydrated without irritation.
• 3 forms of Hyaluronic Acid + Panthenol + Polyquaternium-51 — Layered HA hydration at multiple skin depths, strengthened by Panthenol (Provitamin B5) for barrier support and Polyquaternium-51 for a moisture-retaining surface film.
• 5-botanical complex (Ashitaba, Jute Leaf, Mountain Yam, Okra, Lotus Root) + Zinc Stearate — Five antioxidant-rich botanicals that protect and support the skin, alongside Zinc Stearate for sebum balance — making this nourishing serum suitable for oily and blemish-prone skin types.

Pro tips and pairings

Apply the ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum to slightly damp skin after toning — the humectants absorb best onto a lightly hydrated surface. Pat in gently rather than rubbing. For a complete ANUA brightening and barrier routine: cleanse with the ANUA Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, tone with the ANUA Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner, apply this serum, then follow with the ANUA Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum if targeting intensive dark-spot correction. Always apply SPF in the morning. Explore more from ANUA: Shop ANUA
