Please bring it back ASAP!I have oily face and this is a must in summer, especially when I wear make up. Without setting powder or any other oil-control primer,
Red Rice itself can keep my make up for half a day.

RED RICE BACK! I was using this line and it was amazing! I suffer from acne and after multiple products used this one was the one that worked for me!!!! My dermatologist was amazed.

Please do not discontinue the
Red Rice line! It is the only L'OCCITANE product that works with my skin type. The Angelica is too oily for me. I love the mattifying aspect of the
Red Rice. Every time I have found a line that works for me (
Lavender,
Red Rice), it becomes discontinued. Very frustrating trying to find something else to replace it...

I am a parent of a senior college student aspiring to become a physician. She had searched many years for a great moisturizer for acne-prone skin, and found this fabulous product! You would be doing a disservice to many individuals who feel the same way. ANGELICA IS NOT FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN; IT IS NOT NON-COMEDOGENIC NOR NON-ACNEGENIC! Please, consider the demand for Ultra Matte Face(
red rice) Fluid and continue selling it!!! Thank you.

This is the best moisturizer I have ever owned. I have acne-prone and acne-scarred skin - this product smoothed the scarred skin and reduced the oiliness of my face. I experienced no break-outs related to this product (which is very important to me). Also, I loved that the texture of the moisturizer was "milky" and light, and not heavy and sticky like other moisturizers. This product is wonderful, please do not discontinue!!

When I notice the product is no longer available, I was very upset and went to the store to clear out all the RIZ they had in the store. Please, please, don't discontinue this great product. And the Angelica can't even do the job, Riz can't be replaced by angelica. Angelica has poor absorption, and it can't replace Riz.

This is the best moisturizer I have ever purchased. I promise I'm not over exaggerating. I'm a college student with
combination skin and very little time to get ready in the morning. Fortunately, this lotion keeps my face matte and very soft, is an awesome primer for makeup, and my pores unclogged- my mild acne has cleared up significantly since I've started using this! awesome product. A bit pricey, but definitely worth the price. Love this!

I am very sensitive to feeling like I have something on my face. I'd pretty much written off ever being able to tolerate a moisturizer on my face at all. This moisturizer is amazing. I've tried other supposedly light, oil-free moisturizers, I've tried other "mattifying" products, they all bothered me. This one doesn't bother me. Not only that, but I somehow end up feeling less greasy at the end of the day than I would if I weren't wearing it. Highly recommend this product!

For someone who has really bad hormonal acne, semi-
oily skin in certain areas and facial scarring, this product is the only moisturizer (after trying dozens of creams) that reduced my acne and scarring. Also, it gives me a soft, glowing, and young look. I almost wish I took before and after photos! The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because I wish it contained more than 1 fl oz, but it's still so worth it!

This product is amazing! I went from having
dry skin to
combination skin, and tried several products to treat breakouts; this is the only product that actually prevented it. I have used all the lines of L'Occinate, and find them great, however this has really helped me deal with an ongoing issue. I use it with the Olive Foam
Cleanser and the
Red Rice Toner. I highly recommend this product. It seems like it does rebalance oil production, as indicated in proven results.

I have tried MANY products to help reduce the shine and greasiness of my skin. I don't want to think about how much money I've spent. This is the ONLY product that truly works. It keeps my skin feeling light and shinefree. I know I sound like an infomercial, but I LOVE this product. The only thing better would be Accutane, a prescription med with a lot of side-effects. I will be a life-long customer because of this product.

I have pretty
oily skin and I've had pimples since I was ten. Now I am 25 and I still struggle with breakouts and itchy red skin. I was using Qiora for a while and that did work but it was just way too expensive. I bounced around different supermarket moisturizers for a while and they left me feeling greasy. This really works! My face remains 100% oil free for 6 hours and then was a little bit oily after 12. Not only do I look better, I feel better.

Like many of the commenters, I have oily and acne-prone skin and this is the most effective oil controlling product I've come across so far. And I've tested a myriad of products. It worked immediately and keeps shine minimal for at least 5 hours and sometimes more. I am very impressed. Strangely, I found it more effective if I apply it over my foundation instead of under, but it may work differently for others. I recommend it.

This is the "best" mattifier/moisturizer out in the market. I have used numerous ones with perfect immediate results and then after an hour having an oil production all over my face. This is the only one that does what it says; moisturizes and mattifies the face for a fresh result all day long...well maybe I need a touch up at around 5:00pm...Finally, after searching for years, I have found what makes my skin flawless for a whole day.

I'm so sad because the

Red Rice rarely express their opinion on cosmetic review website such as Makeupalley. Therefore, very less people know about its magic quality. Maybe L'OCCITANE will not discontinue their products if customer buy the large of number!

If you go to an L'Occitane Boutique around you ask a sales associate to assist you with your concerns. Sometimes they have mini facials @ selected boutique's. I said I had
oily skin and acne & they recommended the
Red rice collection and the
Immortelle Brightening Instant Exfoliator, with the
red rice kit and my face looked as I got a 2hr facial! Love, L'Occitane.

I'm 17 and every time after I take shower, the T-zone on my face, esp my nose will get oily very quickly, maybe due to the sudden dryness that stimulates the oil glands to secrete more oil. Also, sometimes when I take a shower in the morning, I will then apply this moisturizer once my face gets dried (not damp dry). Then in the coming hours of the day, my face will stay matte, non-oily, and healthy, velvety to touch! It really works!

I really like this product. I'm 24, & this moisturizer does a good job of keeping my face smooth. My face no longer feels oily after I use it. My face also stays that way for a good part of the day. The only downside is that it isn't moisturizing enough for me to use in the cold, harsh western NY winters. If you have oily or

It keeps your face matte, while still giving some moisture. If you have really

If you're looking for deep moisture, you'll want to look elsewhere.

skin care products. I have acne prone, oily and aging skin. Even though I love all the other
skin care products, this product did nothing to reduce my oily completion. With in an hour after application, my face just shines as bright as before and feels heavy and oily. Sorry.

I have oily and acne-prone skin. All of the mattifying moisturizers that I had used are only effective for a couple hours after their application. Unlike the others, this face fluid leaves my skin non-oily for almost the whole working hours and it also smells nice, subtle and clean. I do recommend the entire range of L'Occitane Organic
Red Rice products for you who have oily or
combination skin.

I'm a 48 year old man and over the last 35 years or so I've probably tried about every skin line out there. My forehead is an oil factory and I have never found products that work until I tried the sample of Ultra-matte Face Fluid. Most products are temporary at best and often dry the skin. This stuff gets rid of shiny forehead and does not leave the skin tight and dry. It's fabulous; it does what L'Occitane says it will do. I bought the whole line.

I was skeptical before using this product because I've tried so many other mattifiers on the market which do not live up to their claims. Immediately I saw results w/this, visibly reducing oil, but also making my skin feel cleaner and better w/out stripping. The most important feature though is that make-up goes on smoothly over it, unlike many other mattifiers or moisturizers. Skin texture looks better even over time. Love all these rice products!

I loved this product! I took home a sample and did find it had a very nice matte finish. My face felt smooth and fresh all day. I was surprised it worked so nicely on skin because I never really considered it "oily" except on the nose and forehead on a hot day. I was worried it would dry me too much but it was very moisturizing. I do live in Hawaii so perhaps normal to oily is actually what I am. In the mainland, especially during winter, my skin peels, it's so dry.

oily skin and 20 minutes after using this my face was shiny and felt greasy. I used it 3 times with the same results. It does however have a very pleasant scent. I wouldn't recommend for
oily skin.

This has a marvelous texture, but it contains rice powder which is highly comedogenic* and can cause a rash. Thus, I do not recommend it. However, give it a try, as it may work just fine for you.
