Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Arencia Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser has a unique doughy, pillowy texture that spreads slowly and cushions the skin, and can be used as a mask. It provides a deep clean without stripping, leaving skin soft, hydrated, and not tight, with gentle exfoliation from rice powder. However, Tina Yong hates the packaging, calling it messy and impractical, and Dr. Jenny Liu notes the green tea version contains witch hazel, which may not suit very dry or sensitive skin.
