Korean Cleansers

How to choose a Korean cleanser

A good cleanser leaves skin clean but comfortable, never squeaky. Arencia’s rice mochi cleansers come in versions for different skin. The Fresh Green Rice, Fresh Blue Hyssop and Black Tea versions are made for oily skin and congested-looking pores. The Calendula Rice Mochi Cleanser and the Rice Mucin Cleanser suit skin that feels dry or sensitive after washing.

For breakout-prone skin with visible pores, the sulfate-free Medicube Azelaic Acid Niacinamide Deep Clean Foam Cleanser turns into a soft, dense foam. Wear waterproof mascara? The CLIO Kill Lash Mascara Remover uses a bent brush to lift long-wearing formulas without harsh rubbing.

What is a mochi cleanser?

It is a cleanser with a soft, bouncy, stretchy texture that you work into a foam with water. Arencia’s mochi cleansers are rice-based.

How long should I wash my face?

Massage the foam over damp skin for about a minute, then rinse with lukewarm water. On days with sunscreen or makeup, take your time, and remove waterproof mascara with a dedicated remover first.

Where do orders ship from?

Every order ships from Boca Raton, Florida, so there is no overseas wait and no customs fees on US orders. US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.

How to use it in your routine

Cleansing is step one, morning and night. Follow it with a toner, your serum and a moisturizer. Building a plan for breakouts? See the Breakout-Prone Skin Routine.
