Arencia Blue Hyssop Rice Mochi Cleanser

Skin-Nomad's Take — At a Glance

• Purifying cleanser that clears congestion and brightens dull skin


• Hyssop, Chaga and kaolin in a fermented mochi texture


• Doubles as a daily cleanser and a clay mask

If your skin turns oily and congested by midday but tightens the moment you cleanse, this is built for exactly that gap. The Arencia Blue Hyssop Rice Mochi Cleanser pairs Hyssop's natural astringency with kaolin clay to lift excess sebum and debris from pores, while glycerin and sea water extract hold moisture in, so skin feels clean rather than stripped. Arencia is a Korean brand whose signature mochi texture comes from a 170-hour fermentation and more than a thousand kneading cycles, a slow craft that keeps the botanical actives intact rather than cooking them off.

Apply to wet skin and massage gently with fingertips, then rinse off with lukewarm water. For optimal results, consider using it as a clay mask by massageing the face or problem areas for over a minute before rinsing off.
