Arencia Green Tea + LHA Rice Cake Cleanser is a facial cleanser with a flexible creamy texture inspired by rice cake, designed to provide deep pore cleansing, removal of accumulated oils and impurities, and gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells while maintaining skin balance and comfort. Its formula combines green tea extract, LHA, and salicylic acid to help cleanse pores and care for blackheads, rough texture, and excess sebum, leaving the skin looking clearer, smoother, and more refreshed.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends lathering a small amount of cleanser well with water before applying it to the face to get a creamy foam that cleanses the skin without the need for harsh scrubbing.
• Dry the skin by gently patting, then follow with the suitable toner or serum and moisturizer.
  
• If your skin is oily or combination, focus gentle massage on the nose, forehead, and chin, which are the areas where sebum buildup and pore visibility usually increase.
• For sensitive or dry skin, Beauty Time recommends starting by using the cleanser once daily or several times weekly, then gradually increasing frequency according to the skin’s response.
• Avoid leaving the cleanser on the face for a long time or rubbing the skin harshly; because it contains LHA and salicylic acid, it already provides exfoliating care during cleansing.
• If your routine contains retinol, AHA or BHA acids, or other exfoliating treatments, monitor the skin and reduce cleanser frequency if dryness, tightness, or sensitivity appears.
• For caring for blackheads and pores, Beauty Time emphasizes that consistency and gentle cleansing are better than excessive scrubbing or using several strong exfoliants at the same time.
• Follow cleansing immediately with a suitable moisturizer that supports the skin barrier, especially if your skin is dry or sensitive or if you are using other active ingredients.
• Use lukewarm water instead of hot water to help cleanse the skin without increasing the feeling of dryness or tightness.
• If you notice persistent redness, burning, or excessive peeling, stop use temporarily and focus on moisturizing and soothing the skin.
• To maintain a balanced routine, we recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning, especially when combining the cleanser with exfoliating products or other retinoids.
