Dealing with skin that feels oily, congested, and rough in Mauritius' humid weather can be frustrating. This cleanser offers a unique solution.

• Best for: Normal, Combination, and Oily skin types.
• What it does: Deeply cleanses pores, gently exfoliates, and removes excess sebum without stripping the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
• Texture: A dense, thick, mochi-like paste that transforms into a rich foam.
• Key benefit: Functions as a gentle daily scrub, cleanser, and makeup remover in one, simplifying your routine while improving skin texture.

Use this as the first step to create a clean base for the rest of your skincare.

1. 1) ARENCIA Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser: See "How to Use" for the right amount.
2. 2) Toner (Optional): A hydrating toner can prep the skin for what's next.
3. 3) Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Always protect your skin during the day and moisturise at night.

Mindful Note: If you already have a cleanser you enjoy, finish it first. Substitute, don't just stack new products.

A simple morning routine to start your day fresh and protected.

• Step 1: ARENCIA Cleanser: A pea-sized amount to wash away overnight oil and impurities.
• Step 2: Hydrating Toner (Optional): Adds a layer of moisture.
• Step 3: Targeted Serum (Optional): A Vitamin C or Niacinamide serum can help with brightness and oil control.
• Step 4: Sunscreen SPF 30+: Non-negotiable in Mauritius to protect your skin from sun damage.

A thorough evening routine to cleanse the day away and repair your skin.

• Step 1: Double Cleanse:
  • First Cleanse (if wearing makeup/sunscreen): Use an oil-based cleanser to melt everything away.
  • Second Cleanse: Use a pea-sized amount of the ARENCIA Cleanser to deep clean the skin. Its unique texture also works well as a first cleanse to remove light makeup.
• Step 2: Exfoliating Toner (1-3x/week): If you use a separate exfoliant, apply it now on designated nights.
• Step 3: Serum/Ampoule: Apply your targeted treatment for concerns like acne, pigmentation, or hydration.
• Step 4: Moisturiser: Lock in all the goodness with a suitable night cream.

This cleanser has a unique texture that requires a specific application method.

• Amount: A small bean-sized amount. A little goes a long way.
• Method:
  1. Take the required amount onto dry hands.
  2. Rub your palms together to warm and soften the dense paste into a creamy, mochi-like texture.
  3. Apply to a dry or slightly damp face and gently massage for 30-60 seconds. The fine almond and rice powders will provide gentle physical exfoliation.
  4. Add a splash of lukewarm water and continue to massage. The paste will transform into a rich, soft foam.
  5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• As a Quick Mask: You can leave the initial paste on your face for 1-2 minutes as a purifying mask before adding water to lather and rinse.
• Frequency: Gentle enough for daily use, either in the AM or as a second cleanser in the PM.

Watchouts: Using too much product can make it difficult to rinse off completely. Start with a small amount and add more only if needed.

• Daily Use: This cleanser is designed for daily use.
  • AM: Use as your morning cleanse.
  • PM: Use as your second cleanse after an oil cleanser, or as a single cleanse if you are not wearing heavy makeup or sunscreen.

Mauritius Note: In our hot and humid climate, this is an excellent morning cleanser to remove overnight sweat and oil, or a perfect evening cleanser to purify the skin after a long day.

• Immediate: Skin feels exceptionally clean, soft, and smooth without any tightness or stripping. Pores may appear temporarily refined.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in blackheads and less visible pore congestion. Overall skin texture feels smoother and looks brighter.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Skin appears more balanced, with potentially less excess oil production during the day. The complexion looks clearer and more radiant.

Individual results vary. Consistent use and sun protection are key to achieving the best results.

• Why use a pH-balanced, gentle cleanser... not harsh soap? Harsh, high-pH soaps strip your skin's natural protective barrier, which can lead to dryness, irritation, and even more oil production as your skin tries to compensate. This gentle, low-pH cleanser effectively cleans while respecting your skin's health.
• Why use a 2-in-1 exfoliating cleanser... not a rough daily scrub? Harsh physical scrubs with large, jagged particles (like sugar or crushed pits) can cause micro-tears and irritation, worsening inflammation and PIH. This cleanser uses ultra-fine rice and almond powders for a gentle, polishing exfoliation that is safe for daily use.

As a wash-off product, the Arencia Mochi Cleanser is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients.

• Works Well With: Any toner, serum, or moisturiser. It creates a clean canvas that helps subsequent products absorb more effectively.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. Just ensure you rinse it off completely before applying any leave-on active ingredients like Retinoids, Vitamin C, or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA).
• Avoid On: Do not use on broken or severely irritated skin. Avoid the immediate eye area.

• Oily Skin: Excellent. Effectively removes excess sebum and purifies pores without causing the rebound oiliness that harsh cleansers can trigger.
• Combination Skin: Ideal. Cleanses the oily T-zone thoroughly while being gentle enough not to dry out the cheeks.
• Normal Skin: Very suitable for maintaining balance and achieving a smooth, clear complexion.
• Dry Skin: May be suitable if used carefully, but some may find the physical exfoliation and deep cleanse a bit much for daily use. A patch test is recommended.
• Sensitive / Acne-Prone Skin: Many users with this skin type find it gentle and effective. However, it contains fragrance and sweet almond seed meal, so a patch test is crucial to rule out potential irritation. Some users report breakouts, which could be a reaction to an ingredient.

• Clogged Pores & Blackheads: The combination of clay-like texture, gentle exfoliants, and deep foaming action helps to purify pores and lift out impurities.
• Excess Sebum & Oiliness: Cleanses away excess oil effectively, leaving the skin feeling balanced and fresh.
• Rough & Uneven Skin Texture: The fine rice and almond powders provide a gentle polishing effect, smoothing rough patches and improving overall skin texture.
• Dullness: By removing dead skin cells and impurities, it helps to reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion.

This formula combines gentle surfactants with natural powders and extracts for a multi-faceted cleanse.

Key Actives Explained:

• Rice Powder (Oryza Sativa Powder): A traditional Korean beauty ingredient that provides a very fine, gentle physical exfoliation to polish the skin and helps absorb excess sebum.
• Sweet Almond Seed Meal (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis): Another gentle physical exfoliant that helps to smooth rough skin texture without being harsh.
• Witch Hazel Extract (Hamamelis Virginiana): Known for its soothing and mild astringent properties, it helps to calm the skin and temporarily tighten the appearance of pores.
• Green Tea Powder (Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder): A powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin and soothe inflammation.
• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate & Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate: Very gentle, coconut-derived surfactants that create a creamy, rich lather to effectively cleanse the skin without disrupting the natural moisture barrier.

Full INCI List:

Glycerin, Water, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Meal, 1,2-Hexanediol, Coconut acid, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Cellulose, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Powder, Sodium Isethionate, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Propanediol, Sodium Chloride, Xanthan Gum, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder, Dextrin, Fragrance, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Dipropylene Glycol, Lupinus Albus Seed Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Saururus Chinensis Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract, Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract, Vigna Radiata Seed Extract, Tocopherol.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum" / "Fragrance"). The scent is generally described by users as fresh and pleasant. Intensity is mild to moderate.
• EU Allergens: The formula contains Hexyl Cinnamal, a fragrance component that must be listed as a potential allergen according to EU regulations.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Risk: The ingredient list contains Glyceryl Stearate, Olive Fruit Oil, and Jojoba Seed Oil, which can potentially trigger fungal acne in highly susceptible individuals. Individual responses may vary.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with very sensitive skin, known allergies to nuts (contains Sweet Almond Seed Meal), or fragrance should perform a patch test before full-face application.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the cleanser to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the inner jawline.
2. Gently lather and rinse as you would on your face.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
4. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. Discontinue use immediately if any irritation develops.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use on broken or eczematous skin.

• Texture: A thick, dense, and slightly grainy paste, often compared to mochi, dough, or a thick clay mask. It softens with warmth and transforms into a creamy, rich foam when water is added.
• Finish: After rinsing, leaves the skin feeling exceptionally soft, smooth, and clean, without a "squeaky" or stripped feeling.
• Scent: Contains fragrance, generally described as fresh, herbal, and pleasant.
• pH: The exact pH is not publicly disclosed by the brand, but it is formulated with gentle, low-pH surfactants to respect the skin's acid mantle.
• Fungal Acne (FA) Compatibility: Not completely "FA-safe" due to the presence of Glyceryl Stearate and several plant oils. Those with Malassezia folliculitis should use with caution or patch test carefully.

• Issue: The cleanser is hard to spread or feels too thick.
  • Solution: Make sure to warm a small amount between your dry palms first. The heat from your hands will soften the paste into a more malleable, creamy texture before you apply it to your face.
• Issue: My skin broke out after using it.
  • Solution: Discontinue use and check the ingredient list for potential triggers. The fragrance, oils, or even one of the many botanical extracts could be the cause. It's always best to introduce new products one at a time to identify the source of any reaction.
• Issue: It's difficult to rinse off completely.
  • Solution: You are likely using too much product. Start with a very small, bean-sized amount. The dense formula creates a lot of foam, and over-applying makes rinsing a chore.

This cleanser is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: Perfect for removing the daily build-up of sweat, sunscreen, and excess oil without stripping the skin's moisture barrier, which is crucial when the air is already saturated.
• Drier Winters: The gentle, non-stripping formula ensures that even during the less humid months, your skin remains clean without feeling tight or dry.
• Post-Beach/Outdoor Activity: An excellent choice to thoroughly cleanse away salt, sand, and sweat after a day outdoors, leaving skin feeling fresh and purified.

This cleanser is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are clogged pores, excess oil, and rough texture, and you enjoy a unique sensory experience.

However, here are some other excellent cleansers from our catalog to consider:

• For a More Targeted BHA Cleanse (Acne-Prone): COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser — Choose this if you need the chemical exfoliating power of salicylic acid in your daily wash to actively fight breakouts.
• For a Focus on Brightening: THE FACE SHOP Rice Water Bright Facial Foaming Cleanser — Choose this if your main goal is achieving a brighter, more luminous complexion. It leverages the brightening properties of rice water in a creamy foam.
• For Ultra-Sensitive or Dry Skin: ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser — Choose this if you have very sensitive or dry skin. It's a famously gentle, hydrating cleanser that cleans effectively without any physical exfoliants or potential irritants.
• For a Scrub Experience: SKINFOOD Rice Daily Brightening Scrub Foam — Choose this if you prefer a more traditional scrub-in-a-foam texture. It uses rice bran to exfoliate and brighten.

Mindful-use: If you already have a comparable product at home, finish it first to avoid waste and get a fair read on results.

• Format: 120g tube. The dense paste format makes it less prone to leaking during travel compared to liquid cleansers.
• Hygiene: The tube format is hygienic, dispensing product without the need to dip fingers into a jar.
• Sustainability: The brand, Arencia, states a commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices. The packaging is minimalist. Please check local guidelines in Mauritius for recycling the plastic tube.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, such as a bathroom cabinet.

Aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit and e-commerce sites.

"I have the Arencia green cleanser and it's amazing. It's very dense... you have to rub it between your hands a little to get the airy 'mochi' texture... It doesn't feel stripping but my face feels well-cleaned afterwards and also gently exfoliated."

"This cleanser has replaced my regular double cleansing products. It is thick and the paste first removes oiliness... The addition of more water... will turn it into a bubbly soap... the skin is super soft and bright after you use it. And the scent!"

"I have acne-prone skin and usually struggle to find a non-comedogenic cleanser that doesn't dry me out. The Arencia Green Rice Mochi Cleanser works perfectly... it cleans well without irritation and leaves a soft, moisturizing finish. The amazing texture feels so smooth and creamy."

Fair Caveat: "I used it and broke out badly .. I have acne prone skin I thought it will help me to get rid of acne."

Note: These are individual experiences. A patch test is always recommended. Some users report breakouts, suggesting it may not be suitable for everyone, especially those sensitive to fragrance or certain oils.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection, ensuring every item is sourced directly from brands or their authorized distributors in South Korea. Our promise is to offer you effective, safe, and trustworthy skincare solutions, backed by transparent information and dedicated customer support.

1. Can I use this cleanser to remove heavy makeup?

While it is effective at removing light makeup and sunscreen, for heavy or waterproof makeup (like waterproof mascara), we recommend using a dedicated oil-based cleanser first (the double cleanse method) and following up with the Arencia cleanser for a perfect, deep cleanse.

2. Is the physical exfoliation harsh on the skin?

No, the exfoliating particles (rice and almond powder) are extremely fine and milled to be non-abrasive. The exfoliation is very gentle, designed to polish the skin rather than scrub it harshly. Most users find it suitable for daily use.

3. Why is it so thick and hard to get out of the tube?

The dense, paste-like texture is intentional and a result of the traditional kneading process used to make it. This concentrates the ingredients and creates the unique "mochi" feel. It may require a firm squeeze, especially when new.

4. Does this cleanser help with fungal acne?

The formula is not guaranteed to be "fungal acne-safe" as it contains some ingredients that can be triggers for highly sensitive individuals (like Glyceryl Stearate and plant oils). If you have fungal acne, please perform a patch test before use.

Best For: Those with normal to oily skin looking for a multi-functional cleanser that purifies pores, smooths texture, and offers a unique, enjoyable cleansing experience.
