Alkemic Oriza Buffer Cream 50ml

An antioxidant shield cream that oxidizes in place of your skin

This buffer cream protects your skin from the oxidative stress that builds up every day. At its core is ferulic acid extracted from rice bran that has undergone 90 days of lactic acid and yeast fermentation, paired with vitamin C derivatives and tocopherol in a C+E+F antioxidant combination that works in synergy. Designed with a lamellar structure similar to skin lipids, it absorbs seamlessly along your skin's natural texture and leaves behind a smooth, polished glow reminiscent of freshly cooked rice.

Deep hydration from four fermented grains and ceramides

Four fermented grain extracts—fermented rice bran, fermented Job's tears, fermented mung bean, and fermented black bean—deliver moisture deep into the skin. Three types of ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) reinforce the skin barrier for a finish that feels soft on the surface yet deeply hydrated within. It absorbs with a lightweight, breathable feel while maintaining long-lasting moisture without any tightness.

For early aging skin that wants to preserve a clear, luminous complexion

Recommended for those who feel that hydration alone isn't enough, or who are concerned about a dull-looking complexion. For best results, apply the first layer right after cleansing while skin is still damp, then add a second layer once the first has settled into a soft finish. On particularly dry days, try layering up to three times.

Use after toner, before serum

Buffer Cream is designed to be applied after toner and before your serum or ampoule. For best results, apply the first layer while skin is still slightly damp from cleansing. The lamellar emulsion structure mimics your skin's natural lipid layers, helping it absorb more effectively and prepping skin to receive the next step. On days when you skip essence or serum, you can also use this cream as your final step right after toner.

Suitable for morning and evening use

In the morning, it acts as an antioxidant base that helps protect skin from UV exposure and environmental stressors. In the evening, it targets oxidative stress accumulated throughout the day. With ferulic acid, vitamin C derivatives, and tocopherol working together, it delivers antioxidant care any time of day.

Layer it once or twice on damp skin right after cleansing

• First layer: Apply an appropriate amount all over your face while skin is still damp from cleansing
• Second layer: Once the first layer has absorbed and feels soft to the touch, reapply to areas that feel dry
• On particularly tight or dehydrated days, you can layer up to three times without feeling heavy

Routine pairings by skin concern

If dullness is your main concern, pair it with a niacinamide serum to boost tone-evening results. For dry, tight skin, start with a ceramide toner to build a strong moisture foundation, then follow with this cream to lock in hydration for longer. If you're focusing on early aging care, use it in your evening routine alongside an antioxidant ampoule to target skin texture.

Storage and usage notes

Because it contains ferulic acid and vitamin C derivatives, store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. After opening, make sure to close the lid tightly to minimize air exposure. If you experience redness or irritation during use, discontinue and consult a dermatologist.
