Arencia Rice + LHA Pore Control Rice Cake Cleanser at a glance

The gentler LHA pore cleanser

Where the Green Tea + LHA version leans "deep pore" and oil-clearing, this Rice + LHA cake is the calmer, more balancing sibling. It is the same format — a firm rice-based solid that you wet and lather into a creamy foam — but with rice in the lead and LHA as a supporting clarifier. The result is a daily wash suited to combination skin that wants some pore care without over-doing it.

LHA (capryloyl salicylic acid) is oil-loving, so it is drawn into pores, but in a rinse-off cleanser its contact time is short, making this a mild maintenance step rather than a strong exfoliant. The honest framing stays the same: no cleanser shrinks pores — pore size is genetic. What regular use does is clear the oil and debris that make pores look bigger, so skin sits smoother and cleaner. That is a genuine, realistic benefit. If your skin is more oily than combination, the Green Tea + LHA Deep Pore version may suit you better; if your skin does not need any LHA, the plain mochi cleansers are kinder.

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.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
4. Follow with toner, serum and moisturiser, and sunscreen every morning.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the Green Tea + LHA version?

Both use LHA and rice. This one is milder and more balancing for combination skin; the Green Tea version leans stronger for oilier, more congested skin.

Does it shrink pores?

No. Pore size is genetic. Regular use clears oil and debris so pores look less noticeable, but nothing permanently reduces them.

Can I use it every day?

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

Should I avoid acids or retinal on the same day?

It is a good idea. The LHA provides a light exfoliation, so stacking it with strong acids or retinoids risks over-exfoliating. Space them across the week.

Is it too much for sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin may be happier with a plain rice mochi cleanser. If you want to try this, use it a few times a week and monitor how your skin responds.

What skin type is it for?

Combination skin that wants gentle daily pore care. Oily skin may prefer the Green Tea version; dry skin should skip the LHA cleansers entirely.

Do I still need serum and moisturiser?

Yes. The cleanser preps and lightly clarifies; your serum and moisturiser deliver the targeted treatment and keep the barrier balanced.
