J.A
Arencia Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser is a dense, mochi-like cleanser with rice powder, sweet almond seed meal and green tea leaf powder in a mild foaming base. It lathers into a creamy foam that lifts away impurities, while the fine grains gently polish for smoother, brighter-looking skin.
What it does
Sodium cocoyl isethionate and sodium cocoyl glycinate are mild cleansing agents that whip into a soft lather. Rice powder and sweet almond seed meal give a light physical polish, so one product cleanses and smooths at the same time. There is a long list of plant extracts too, including witch hazel, centella and green tea, but the reason to choose it is the cleanse and the polish.
Why we chose it
It combines a cleanser and a light polish in one pot, which keeps a routine short. Arencia also suggest a thicker layer as a wash-off mask once or twice a week.
Best for
- Normal, combination or oily skin
- Dull skin or rough texture
- The look of congested pores
- A second cleanse in the evening
Not ideal if
- You have a nut allergy: it contains sweet almond seed meal, plus coconut-derived cleansing agents
- You avoid fragrance: it contains fragrance and hexyl cinnamal, a listed fragrance allergen. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Cleansing Gel (Unscented) has no grains
- Your skin is very sensitive or over-exfoliated right now: the grains polish. If you still want to try it, start a few times a week.
Key ingredients
- Rice powder (10,000 ppm, which is 1%, as printed on our box) and rice extract: a gentle polish and a brighter look
- Sweet almond seed meal: fine grains for physical exfoliation
- Green tea leaf powder and extract: a fresh feel
- Witch hazel and centella extracts: a fresh, calm feel
- Sodium cocoyl isethionate and sodium cocoyl glycinate: mild, foaming cleansers
Texture and finish
A dense, pillowy paste that whips into a creamy lather.
Where it goes in your routine
A second cleanse in the evening, after an oil cleanser if you wear makeup or sunscreen, or alone in the morning. Lather a little with water, massage over damp skin, focusing on oily or congested areas as Arencia suggest, then rinse.
Good to know
The plant extracts include tea tree, willow bark and cinnamon bark, which some sensitive skins prefer to avoid. There are no exfoliating acids listed: the polish comes from the grains. The box advises against using it on scars, eczema or dermatitis.

- Lather a small amount with water in your hands before it goes on your face.
- Massage over damp skin with light pressure, focusing on oily or congested areas, as Arencia suggest. The grains do the polishing, so there is no need to scrub.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- In the evening, use it after an oil cleanser if you wore makeup or sunscreen.
- Arencia suggest a thicker layer as a wash-off mask once or twice a week.
- If your skin is sensitive, patch test and start a few times a week. Skip it on nights you use exfoliating acids or a retinoid.

Good to know

How gritty is it?
It is a fine polish in a creamy lather, not a coarse scrub. The grains are rice powder and sweet almond seed meal. If you dislike any texture in a cleanser, this is not the one for you.
Can I use it every day?
It is made as a cleanser, so many people use it daily. Whether that suits you depends on your skin: if it is sensitive, dry, or already using exfoliating acids or a retinoid, start a few times a week and see how it feels.
Does it have a scent?
Yes. It contains fragrance and hexyl cinnamal, a listed fragrance allergen. If you avoid fragrance, Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Cleansing Gel (Unscented) has no fragrance and no grains.
Is it suitable for dry skin?
It can be, if your skin is dry but also feels rough or congested. It foams and polishes, so if your skin feels tight after cleansing, use it a few times a week and keep a gentler cleanser for the other days.
Is it vegan?
Arencia's box describes it as made with vegan, natural ingredients. We go by Arencia's own wording.
