Mochi-like pores, zero gunk: the Korean cleanser clearing blackheads in one wash
This Korean cleanser with a mochi-like texture is going viral for sweeping away blackheads and unclogging pores in a single cleanse. No wonder it’s a current favorite in Korea.
We recently introduced the Korean skincare brand Arencia, whose Holy Hyssop Serum 30 is loved for brightening the complexion and helping skin look its best. It’s become so popular that Korean women are buying up extras to stockpile. And it turns out the brand’s cleanser is generating plenty of buzz online, too. Its texture is certainly fun, and its cleansing power is seriously impressive, making it one of the beauty world’s latest talking points.

Arencia’s cleanser comes in 3 colors, each with different ingredients and benefits, though all deliver unexpectedly impressive results. The green version is the most popular. Made with natural ingredients including sweet almond powder, witch hazel, and rosehip extract, it has a sticky texture reminiscent of mochi and fine, smooth granules that help lift dead skin and impurities from pores as you wash your face. It also removes blackheads and helps tighten pores. Rich in a range of vitamins, the formula also provides antioxidant benefits and leaves skin looking clear and glowing.
While the green version helps remove blackheads and clogged pores, the pink one hydrates skin, and the blue one controls oil while moisturizing. All 3 cleansers contain natural ingredients, and their sticky texture gently cleanses while also serving as a makeup remover or a wash-off mask. Rinse with water, and skin is left soft and hydrated, with pores looking clean and tightened. No wonder these cleansers have become current favorites among Korean women.
