FULLY is bringing rice-infused Korean skincare to a wider American audience through its expansion into more than 580 Sephora stores. Introduced through the OLIVE YOUNG K-Beauty Edit, the six-product collection combines traditional Korean beauty ingredients with formulas designed for hydration, cleansing, and everyday skin maintenance.
The assortment features the Green Tomato Clay Mask Cleanser, which transforms from a creamy mask into a foaming cleanser when mixed with water. Having sold over 3.5 million units worldwide, the product joins rice-based treatments, including a serum formulated with rice-derived PDRN, ceramides, and adenosine to support a hydrated, radiant appearance.
For FULLY, the launch represents its largest U.S. physical retail expansion, increasing accessibility beyond its existing customer base. The Sephora partnership also gives shoppers opportunities to discover additional products while strengthening the brand's presence in the competitive American skincare market.

What's Driving This Trend
- Rice-based Skincare
- Fermented and rice-derived ingredients are becoming premium beauty cues as brands blend heritage rituals with modern barrier-support formulas.
- Hybrid Cleansing Formats
- Transforming textures such as mask-to-foam cleansers create differentiation in crowded skincare aisles by combining treatment, cleansing, and sensorial appeal.
- K-beauty Retail Expansion
- Mass U.S. retail placement gives emerging Korean beauty labels a faster path from niche discovery to mainstream consumer adoption.
Who This Affects Most
- Skincare
- Ingredient-led hydration and radiance products offer room for brands to reframe daily maintenance as culturally inspired, science-backed routines.
- Beauty Retail
- Curated international edits inside major retailers can turn stores into discovery platforms for globally popular but locally underexposed brands.
- Personal Care
- Cross-functional formulations that merge cleansing, treatment, and skin barrier support point to broader demand for simplified high-performance routines.
