Arencia Fresh Rosehip Cleanser

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-27

What is this product?

A 120g kneaded cleansing paste from Korean brand Arencia, sold as the rosehip variant of its rice cake cleanser line and usable as a daily wash or as a one to two minute rinse-off pack. Glycerin leads, followed by acyl isethionate, glycinate and taurate detergents, then ground sweet almond seed, cellulose, rice powder and fibre that polish by friction. There is no exfoliating acid; the only acid-named entry is a coconut fatty acid. Fragrance is listed 18th, and the rosehip extract is printed at 55 ppm, after it. The brand cites moisture, clarity and patch tests without printed measurements.

What makes it different?

A dough-like paste that works as both a daily wash and a short pack, polishing with almond seed, cellulose and rice powder instead of acids; within its own line the brand places it for sensitive and normal to dry skin with a moist finish, while its rosehip extract is a trace entry printed at 55 ppm.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 3 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Worth a closer look

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
