Arencia Has Landed: Why Everyone Is Kneading Their Cleanser
Arencia, Jeju's artisanal K-beauty brand, arrives at Skin101 — meet the viral Rice Mochi Cleanser and the Vitamin C Booster Shot.
Arencia is a Korean artisanal skincare brand from Jeju island, best known for its Rice Mochi Cleanser — a cleanser with a kneadable, dough-like texture that deep-cleans pores while staying gentle enough for sensitive skin. As of this week, Arencia is officially available in Israel at Skin101.
- •Crafted in Jeju, South Korea, through a slow 72-hour artisanal process
- •The Rice Mochi Cleansers have sold millions of jars worldwide
- •Plant-based formulas, gentle enough for sensitive skin
- •Skin101 launches the brand with two essentials: the Mochi Cleanser and Vitamin C Booster Shot
From handmade soap to a global cult brand
Arencia's story begins with hand-making gentle soap bars from pure ingredients to calm children's irritated skin. That care-first instinct became the brand's DNA: every formula is refined in Jeju over 72 hours, using the Pojae-72H Liposome technology to keep botanicals like rice, green tea and calendula at full strength. No shortcuts, no harsh fillers — texture and touch come first.
The two we chose to launch with
The Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser is the icon: scoop, knead between damp palms, massage — green tea and rice deep-clean pores and gently lift dead skin cells, then rinse to a soft, fresh finish. One jar effectively replaces cleanser, gentle peeling and a clarifying mask. Beside it, the Vitamin C Booster Shot concentrates 5% pure ascorbic acid into a serum-cream hybrid that targets pigmentation spots and evens tone, in Arencia's typically gentle base.

How to build them into your routine
Use the Mochi Cleanser morning or evening as your main cleanse — oily and combination skin will love it daily, drier skin can start with evenings. The Vitamin C Booster Shot slots into the evening after cleansing and toning, two to three times a week at first; pair it with daily sunscreen, as with any vitamin C. Together they make a complete brighten-and-purify starter duo for the Israeli summer.
Original products, official import
Every Arencia unit at Skin101 arrives through the brand's official importer in Israel, carrying the importer's stamp and official instructions on the packaging — the simplest way to tell authentic stock from the counterfeits that fill the online market. Fast delivery nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mochi cleanser?+
A cleanser with a unique kneadable, dough-like texture between a balm and a clay. You scoop a small amount, knead it between damp palms and massage it over the face — it deep-cleans pores and gently exfoliates while rinsing off without stripping.
Is the Arencia Mochi Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?+
Yes. Arencia's formulas are plant-based and free of harsh additives — the brand literally began with soap made to calm children's irritated skin. The rice-and-green-tea mochi texture exfoliates mechanically but very gently, which is why it suits sensitive skin better than most scrubs.
Can I use the Vitamin C Booster Shot every day?+
Start with 2-3 evenings a week and build up as your skin adjusts — it contains 5% pure ascorbic acid. Once your skin is comfortable, daily evening use is fine. Always pair vitamin C with a daily sunscreen in the morning.
