Take the skin testThe Arencia Green Tea + LHA Deep Pore Rice Cake Cleanser is a purifying yet gentle cleanser designed to deeply cleanse pores while maintaining skin balance. Infused with green tea extract and LHA (Lipo Hydroxy Acid), this unique rice cake-textured formula helps remove excess sebum, unclog pores, and gently exfoliate dead skin cells without causing irritation. Its soft, bouncy texture transforms into a creamy lather that cleanses thoroughly while keeping the skin hydrated.
Green Tea + LHA Deep Pore Rice Cake Cleanser is a lightweight cleanser from Arencia, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 31 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Panthenol and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Panthenol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Butylene Glycol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, brightening and tone and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
