Sources

Original: rhode US product page (key ingredients and full ingredient list); Checked Oct 28, 2026; rhode's full ingredient list (brand page; the same list appears on Sephora) was read. Oryza sativa (rice) bran water, rice extract and niacinamide are not listed, so rice water and niacinamide are recorded as 0%. rhode states no percentages for its ceramides, mineral complex, vitamin E or glycerin.
Alternative: Anua US product page (key ingredients and full ingredient list); Checked Oct 28, 2026; Anua's copy states "70% Anua Rice Water+"; its own ingredient list gives Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Water as 71%. Anua names "Ceramide" without types; its full ingredient list includes Ceramide NP, AP and EOP. Copper gluconate, magnesium aspartate, zinc gluconate, tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate are not listed in Anua's full ingredient list, so rhode's mineral complex and vitamin E are recorded as 0%. Anua states no niacinamide or ceramide percentage.

What we couldn’t check

Listed key actives and disclosed percentages. Neither brand states its ceramide amounts, and rhode states no percentages for any of its featured ingredients.
Comparative performance. Texture, hydration and skin outcomes have not been compared. rhode calls its product an essence and Anua calls its a toner; the bottles differ in size (4.2 fl oz versus 8.45 fl oz).
