What LHA adds to a cleanser

This is a "rice cake" cleanser — a firm, rice-based solid you wet and lather, giving a creamy foam that cleans without the squeaky-tight feeling. What sets it apart from the plain mochi cleansers is LHA (capryloyl salicylic acid), a gentle relative of salicylic acid that is oil-loving, so it is drawn to the sebum inside pores. Paired with antioxidant green tea, it makes a fresh, clarifying daily wash for skin that gets oily or congested.

Here is the honest framing. LHA in a rinse-off cleanser has only brief contact with the skin, so it is milder than a leave-on exfoliant — think "helps keep pores clear with regular use" rather than a deep chemical peel. And importantly, no cleanser shrinks pores: pore size is largely genetic. What this does is clear the oil and debris that make pores look bigger, so with consistent use skin looks smoother and clearer. That is a realistic, worthwhile result. Because it does exfoliate a little, avoid using it on the same day as a strong acid or retinoid to prevent over-doing it.

How to use it

1. Wet your hands and the cake, then rub to work up a creamy lather.
2. Massage over damp skin for around 30 seconds, focusing on oily areas.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
4. Follow with toner, serum and moisturiser, and sunscreen every morning.

Frequently asked questions

Does this cleanser shrink my pores?

No — pore size is largely genetic and nothing shrinks it permanently. What it does is clear the oil and debris that make pores look larger, so skin looks smoother and clearer with regular use.

How is LHA different from a normal exfoliant?

LHA is oil-loving, so it targets the sebum inside pores. In a rinse-off cleanser it is gentle, giving light daily pore care rather than a strong peel.

Can I use it every day?

Yes for most oily and combination skin. If your skin feels tight, drop to once daily or alternate with a gentler cleanser.

Can I use it with my acids or retinal?

Avoid using it on the same day as a strong acid or retinoid to prevent over-exfoliation. Space them out across the week.

Is it good for dry or sensitive skin?

It is aimed at oily, congested skin. Dry or sensitive skin may find a plain rice mochi cleanser more comfortable for daily use.

Will it clear my blackheads?

Regular use helps keep pores clearer, which reduces the look of blackheads over time. It is gradual maintenance, not an instant fix.

Do I still need the rest of my routine?

Yes. The cleanser preps the skin; your toner, serum and moisturiser do the targeted work and keep the barrier balanced.
