- Q
Should this go on before, after, or instead of other products like moisturizing lotion? What about actives like AHAs/BHAs, retinol, or vitamin C, could those products be layered with this, and if so, should they go under or over this barrier serum?
- Asked by 4-Course-skincare
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for reaching out to us. The 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum should be applied after toning and before heavier moisturizers or lotions. It can be used with actives like AHAs/BHAs, retinol, or vitamin C. Apply your actives first, allow them to absorb, and then layer the barrier serum on top to help lock in hydration and support your skin’s moisture balance. We hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any other questions.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will this help with breakouts? Thanks!!
- Asked by Beautiful
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for reaching out with your question. The 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum is formulated to hydrate, soothe, and support the skin’s barrier. While it is not specifically targeted as an acne treatment, by strengthening the skin barrier and maintaining balanced hydration, it may help create a healthier environment for skin that is prone to breakouts. If your main concern is active breakouts, we would be happy to learn more about your skin’s needs and suggest products that are more directly formulated for acne care. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’re always happy to assist you.Was this answer helpful to you

The 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum is a hydrating serum designed to moisturize and nourish the skin, leaving it looking glowy. It also helps brighten uneven skin tone, soothe and hydrate the skin, and enhance the skin barrier while supporting sebum balance. As with any product, results may vary depending on individual skin type and condition. We recommend introducing it gradually into your routine and observing how your skin responds, especially when combining with other active ingredients such as Vitamin C. Should you have any questions or need further assistance in the meantime, feel free to reach out - we’re happy to help.Was this answer helpful to you

Is it non comedogenic? Will it break you out?
- Asked by Brooke

However, it has been carefully formulated with skin-friendly ingredients and is EWG Green certified, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

- Q
Can this help with Post inflammatory Erythema?
- Asked by Isa
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question! The ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum is formulated to help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and soothe dryness-related sensitivity. While it is not specifically designed to treat post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), maintaining a well-hydrated and resilient skin barrier may support the skin’s natural recovery process over time.

For persistent or more specific skin concerns like PIE, we recommend consulting with a dermatologist for tailored guidance.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How does this product layer under moisturizer and makeup? Does it dry down?
- Asked by Bridget
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your interest in the ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum. The ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum has a lightweight yet nourishing texture that layers well under both moisturizer and makeup. It absorbs smoothly into the skin without leaving a greasy or sticky residue, making it suitable for both morning and evening routines. Once applied, the serum typically dries down to a soft, hydrated finish, helping to prep and smooth the skin’s surface. It works especially well under moisturizers and can enhance the wear and finish of makeup by boosting hydration and reducing dry patches throughout the day.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this a cream?
- Asked by Adriane
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question! The ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum is not a cream — it’s a serum with a lightweight, milky texture designed to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier. While it provides nourishment similar to a cream, it absorbs quickly and layers well under your moisturizer. If you’re looking for something richer to lock in moisture, we recommend following it with a cream suited to your skin type.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this good for oily skin?
- Asked by Jackie
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question! Yes, the ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum is suitable for oily skin. Although it delivers deep hydration and nourishment, its lightweight texture absorbs easily without leaving a greasy residue. The rice extract helps to even out skin tone and improve texture, while ceramides work to support the skin’s barrier — which is essential even for oily or acne-prone skin. Hydrating serums like this one can actually help balance excess oil production by reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier, reducing the skin’s need to overcompensate with oil. If you have any further concerns about product compatibility with your skin type or routine, feel free to reach out!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can you use under eyes?
- Asked by Chicago
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for reaching out to us. The ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum is generally suitable for use on the entire face, including the under-eye area, as it is formulated to be gentle and hydrating. However, since the skin under the eyes is particularly delicate, we recommend applying only a small amount with light tapping motions and avoiding direct contact with the eyes. If you have sensitive skin or are using the product for the first time, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test before applying it to the entire area. We hope this helps, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions.Was this answer helpful to you

Walla! Tiny bumps gone :)
This helped the texture and tone of my skin. I had tiny little bumps close to my eyebrows on my forehead that I've been trying to get rid of for months not sure what caused it. It was not acne, but just tiny little bumps. My skin is a lot smoother and brighter.
great!
love this serum! it has made a huge difference in my skin so far when it comes to soothing & repairing! especially during the massachusetts winter
Unfortunately my skin is not love
I think the ingredients seem like it would help but unfortunately my skin did not care for these. My skin felt more dry while using and then it cause skin to dermatitis. I had to return discard it after two weeks or use. Some of their other products are great though.
I highly recommend this!!
I highly recommend this for someone that needs a good skin barrier, and have acne!! this made my skin look like glass if combined with good products!
Incredible Lightweight Moisture!
This is the best hydrating serum I've ever used, even when compared to expensive luxury products. It absorbs well, but also leaves a protective barrier that strengthens skin. I love that it contains ceramides and arbutin - those are two of my favorite ingredients! The arbutin imparts a glow and the ceramides act as skin building blocks, making the product more hydrating. It floods mt skin with pasting moisture, even in the dry atmosphere of Colorado. The texture is beautiful - its kind of similar to snail mucin. This stuff leavesy skin so healthy and beautiful - its a must have!
