A Simple 4-Product RIMAN Routine: Meet the ICD Mini Ritual Set
Share
Korean skincare has a reputation: seven steps, nine, ten. Two essences, three serums, a mist in the middle. For some people that is the fun of it. For others it is the reason they never start.
If what you want is one cleanser, one treatment system, one moisturizer and a RIMAN skincare routine you can remember at 11pm, the RIMAN ICD Mini Ritual Set ($194.00) is built for that. Four products, cleanse to moisturize, nothing bolted on.

What's Actually Inside the RIMAN Mini Ritual Set?
| Product | Current Size | Main Role |
|---|---|---|
| RIMAN Incellderm Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX | 120 g / 4.23 oz. | Cleanse |
| RIMAN ICD Dermatology First Package Booster EX | 130 ml / 4.39 fl. oz. | Hydrating Boo step |
| RIMAN ICD Dermatology First Package Serum EX | 45 ml / 1.52 fl. oz. | Treatment Se step |
| RIMAN ICD Dermatology Cream | 50 ml / 1.69 fl. oz. | Moisturize and finish |
Worth knowing: the set currently costs the same as buying the three items separately — the Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX ($29.00), the Dermatology First Package ($99.00, which is the Booster and Serum together) and the Dermatology Cream ($66.00) add up to exactly $194.00. The reason to buy the set is that it arrives as one correct combination in one order, not that it is discounted.
Is the Mini Ritual Set Actually "Mini"?
This is the question the name invites, so let's deal with it first.
The routine is mini. The products are full size. A 120 g cleanser and a 130 ml booster are not travel miniatures — they are the sizes RIMAN sells individually. "Mini" describes the streamlined number of steps next to the larger RIMAN rituals, which run to six and nine pieces.
Expecting sample sizes? This is not that. Hoping for a shorter routine in full-size bottles? Exactly that.
Product 1 — Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX
The cleansing step. The RIMAN Incellderm Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX is a rich cream that foams into a light, snow-like texture, using papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple as its enzymes.
The directions matter here, and they are not the usual ones. RIMAN's own instructions:
- Apply a nickel-sized amount to dry hands, and evenly onto your dry face
- Massage gently until the enzymes form a foamy texture
- Add warm water to your hands and keep massaging until no residue is left
- Rinse completely with warm water
Dry hands, dry face, then water. Wetting your face first is the most common way to use this one wrong. RIMAN states no particular timing — just massage until it foams.
The formula has passed a German dermatological safety test and an eye irritation test. That is a safety clearance, not a promise about how your skin will respond.
Products 2 and 3 — Dermatology Booster EX and Serum EX
These two arrive together as the RIMAN ICD Dermatology First Package, and they are the treatment core of the ritual.
The Booster EX (130 ml) is the Boo — applied generously after cleansing to condition and prepare the skin. At 88% Giant BYoungPool leaf water, RIMAN's Jeju-grown centella asiatica strain, it behaves as a hydrating layer rather than a thin toner.
The Serum EX (45 ml) is the Se. At 81% Giant BYoungPool leaf water plus concentrated actives, it is the treatment step, applied straight after the Booster.
Think of it as hydration and layering: a well-hydrated surface is a better surface to treat. Nothing more mysterious than that.
Product 4 — Dermatology Cream
The finishing moisturizer, and the step people skip when they assume a serum is enough. It is not — the RIMAN ICD Dermatology Cream (50 ml) is what seals the treatment in.
Directions: use the provided spatula to scoop a dime-sized amount, smooth over the face and massage in. Morning and evening, after the Booster and Serum.
Its ingredient list leads with centella asiatica leaf water and includes niacinamide, ceramide NP, adenosine, soluble collagen and shea butter. It helps skin feel moisturized and look smoother.
What Is Boo-Se-Boo?
Boo-Se-Boo is RIMAN's name for its own layering method: Booster, Serum, Booster. Apply the Booster to prime, the Serum to treat, then a second light layer of Booster over the top. The Dermatology Cream follows to finish.
Two honest caveats.
First, this is a RIMAN-specific technique, not a universal Korean skincare rule. Most K-beauty routines do not apply anything twice, and nothing is wrong with them.
Second, RIMAN's own page is slightly inconsistent about whether that second Booster layer is essential or optional — it describes the three-part system and then labels the final layer an "optional Booster seal." Treat it as optional. If your skin feels comfortable after Serum and Cream alone, you are not doing it wrong.
Our Dermatology First Package guide goes deeper on the Boo-Se-Boo duo specifically.
Four Products, Five Applications
Because the Booster is used twice, the sequence has five application steps even though you are only opening four containers:
- Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX
- Dermatology Booster EX
- Dermatology Serum EX
- Dermatology Booster EX again (optional)
- Dermatology Cream
So: a four-product ritual, run as a five-application sequence. Calling it a "four-step routine" is the one thing that will confuse you later.
Who May Like the Mini Ritual Set?
It may appeal to you if any of these sound familiar:
- "I want to try a RIMAN routine without buying the biggest set."
- "I want fewer products, not more."
- "Hydration and dryness are my priorities."
- "I like the idea of Booster → Serum → Booster."
- "I want the Dermatology Cream included, not sold separately."
- "I already have a sunscreen I like."
- "I want a mature-skin routine I can actually keep up."
- "I don't want multiple cleansers, mists and optional steps."
It may not suit you if you want a cleansing oil and sunscreen in the same box, or the calming and misting steps — those sit in the larger sets.
The Mature-Skin Angle
Mature skin sometimes feels drier than it used to, less comfortable through the day, rougher in texture or duller-looking. Not everyone experiences all of that, and plenty of mature skin is not dry at all — but when those are the concerns, a hydration-forward routine usually fits better than a strong one.
This set is built that way: cleansing that does not strip, two hydrating treatment layers, a richer cream to finish — without nine products to manage. The Aging & Fine Lines and Dry Skin collections follow the same idea.
Is This a Complete Morning Routine?
Almost — but not quite. The set does not include sunscreen, and nothing in it provides UV protection.
A morning would look like:
- Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX, if you cleanse in the morning
- Dermatology Booster EX
- Dermatology Serum EX
- Booster again, if you want the full Boo-Se-Boo
- Dermatology Cream
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen — sold separately
The in-range option is the RIMAN ICD Moisture Layer Sunscreen ($36.00), SPF 50+ PA+++, or anything from the Korean face sunscreen collection. Budget for it as a separate purchase.
Is This a Complete Evening Routine?
For a simple evening, yes — cleansing, treatment and moisturizer are all covered.
If you have worn makeup, long-wear sunscreen or heavier complexion products, you may prefer an oil-based first cleanse beforehand. The RIMAN ICD Moisture Cleansing Oil ($36.00) is the in-range option — applied to dry skin, massaged, emulsified with water, rinsed.
Not everyone needs to double cleanse every night. It depends on what is on your face.
What's Missing From the Mini Ritual?
Transparently, the set does not include a cleansing oil, sunscreen, the Two Phase Oil Mist, the Calming Balance Gel, a second cleanser, or any Radiansome products.
That is the design, not a shortfall — fewer products is the entire proposition. The only real gap for daily use is sunscreen.
Mini Ritual Set vs. the Larger RIMAN Rituals
| Mini Ritual Set | Essential Set | Expert Ritual Set | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $194.00 | $269.00 | $380.00 |
| Pieces | 4 | 6 | 9 |
| Cleanser | Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX | Yes | Yes |
| Booster + Serum | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Dermatology Cream | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Calming Balance Gel | No | Yes | Yes |
| Two Phase Oil Mist | No | Yes | Yes |
| Oil cleanser | No | No | Yes |
| Best for | Simple | Expanded | The full ritual |
Neither end of that table is better — one is simple, one expanded. There is also the RIMAN ICD Starter Set ($165.00), which is the same treatment core without the cleanser — worth comparing if you already have a cleanser you like. See all RIMAN ritual sets, or read the Expert Ritual Set guide if you are weighing the nine-piece version.
Prefer to try before committing to full sizes? The RIMAN ICD Expert Ritual Experience Kit ($119.00) is the travel-size sampler — and that one genuinely is miniatures.
Do You Need to Add More Products?
No — not automatically. Use the Mini Ritual as it comes for a few weeks and let your skin tell you what, if anything, is missing.
Additions should solve a real problem:
- Wearing makeup or SPF? An oil cleanse before the Snow Enzyme Cleanser.
- Morning routine? Sunscreen. This one is not optional.
- Still feeling tight? A hydrating mist or gel may fit.
What you should not do is add products to make the routine longer. Length is not the goal.
How to Fit This Into a Routine You Already Have
You do not need to throw out what you own. These products replace steps rather than stacking on top of them.
If your current routine is cleanser → serum → moisturizer → sunscreen, the swap is straightforward: Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX → Booster → Serum → Booster → Dermatology Cream → your own sunscreen in the morning.
Same number of decisions. Different products in the slots.
What If You Only Like One or Two of Them?
A perfectly normal outcome, and you are not committed to repurchasing the whole set forever.
Every piece is sold individually: the Dermatology Cream ($66.00), the Dermatology First Package ($99.00) and the Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX ($29.00). Running the full set once is the cheapest way to find out which steps you actually want to keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is in the RIMAN ICD Mini Ritual Set?
Four products: the Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX (120 g), the Dermatology First Package Booster EX (130 ml) and Serum EX (45 ml), and the Dermatology Cream (50 ml).
Are the products actually mini sizes?
No. The current listed sizes are full sizes — the same ones RIMAN sells individually. "Mini" refers to the streamlined four-product routine, not to small bottles.
What order do I use the products?
Cleanser, Booster, Serum, Booster again, Cream. Four products, five applications, because the Booster is used twice.
Why is the Booster used twice?
It is RIMAN's own Boo-Se-Boo layering method — hydrate, treat, then seal with another hydrating layer. RIMAN describes the second Booster layer as optional, so treat it that way.
How do I use the Snow Enzyme Cleanser?
Apply a nickel-sized amount to dry hands and a dry face, massage gently until it foams, then add warm water and keep massaging before rinsing. Starting on wet skin is the most common mistake.
Does the Mini Ritual Set include sunscreen?
No, and nothing in the set provides UV protection. Add a broad-spectrum sunscreen for mornings — the RIMAN ICD Moisture Layer Sunscreen ($36.00) is the in-range option.
Is the Mini Ritual Set good for mature skin, and can I use it twice a day?
It may appeal to mature skin that is dry or less comfortable than it used to be, because the routine is hydration-forward rather than strong — a preference, not a rule. The Dermatology Cream's directions specify morning and evening, so yes, the routine runs twice daily; in the morning, finish with sunscreen.
Do I need the Moisture Cleansing Oil too?
Only if you wear makeup, long-wear sunscreen or heavy complexion products. Then the RIMAN ICD Moisture Cleansing Oil ($36.00) goes first, before the Snow Enzyme Cleanser. Otherwise you can skip it.
What's the difference between the Mini Ritual Set and a full RIMAN ritual?
Count and scope. The Mini Ritual Set is four pieces at $194.00. The Essential Set ($269.00) adds the Calming Balance Gel and Two Phase Oil Mist; the Expert Ritual Set ($380.00) is the full nine-piece ritual. Simple versus expanded, not better versus worse.
