How it works
The Green Tea + LHA Deep Pore Rice Cake Cleanser is a 150g gel cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. The plant extract it is built around is Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, named thirtieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Bakuchiol and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the gel cleanser format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the gel cleanser Arencia sells in Korea, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all.

Inside the formula
Inside the formula
Where does this gel cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this gel cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market gel cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all. We match this gel cleanser to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract?
Allantoin, Bakuchiol and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid. The order they are printed in on this gel cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Salicylic Acid, Gardenia Extract and Panthenol.

Ingredient list read from jolse.com on 10 September 2026.
22 of 31 explained
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Purified Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate surfactant
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a coconut-derived surfactant that gives a dense, creamy foam while staying mild. It is the usual choice in syndet cleansing bars.
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate surfactant
- An amino-acid surfactant built from coconut fatty acids and glycine. Amino-acid surfactants clean at a pH close to the pH of skin itself, which is why low-pH Korean cleansers are built on them.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Coconut Acid fatty acid
- Coconut Acid is the mixed fatty acids of coconut oil. Combined with an alkali in the same formula it forms the soap that does the cleansing.
- Sodium Isethionate surfactant
- Sodium Isethionate is the mild cleansing salt behind syndet bars. It foams in hard water where soap would leave a scum.
- Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate thickener
- Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate is a modified starch used to thicken and to take the sticky edge off a formula, leaving a powdery finish.
- Glyceryl Stearate emulsifier
- Glyceryl Stearate is glycerin joined to stearic acid, and one of the most used emulsifiers in skincare. It holds oil and water together and thickens the result, and it softens skin at the same time.
- Xanthan Gum thickener
- Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.
- Dextrin thickener
- Dextrin is a starch fragment used to thicken and to give a formula a light, powdery finish. It is also a common carrier for powdered extracts.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
10 more explained
- Polyquaternium-67 film former
- Polyquaternium-67 is a positively charged polymer that clings to skin and hair, leaving a conditioning film that survives rinsing.
- Gardenia Extract plant extract
- A gardenia extract declared by common name, with the plant part unstated. Gardenia is the traditional East Asian yellow dye plant, so an extract of it can tint a formula.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Allantoin active
- Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
- Panthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- Capryloyl Salicylic Acid exfoliant
- Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is salicylic acid with a fatty tail, sometimes sold as LHA. It stays nearer the surface than salicylic acid and works at a higher pH, so it exfoliates more evenly and more gently.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Salicylic Acid exfoliant
- Salicylic Acid is a BHA, and the only common exfoliant that is oil soluble, so it can work inside a pore rather than only on the surface. It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin.
- Bakuchiol active
- Bakuchiol is a compound from the babchi seed, used as a plant-derived alternative to retinol. It is oil soluble, stable in daylight and does not carry retinol's acclimatisation period, which is why sensitive-skin formulas choose it.
- Green Tea Extract plant extract
- Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine.

How to use
- Use the Green Tea + LHA Deep Pore Rice Cake Cleanser as your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water.
- Take an appropriate amount of the cleanser and add water to lather up. Gently massage on skin and rinse off with lukewarm water.
- Rinse and tone while skin is still damp. Everything after this lands on bare skin, so it decides what the rest of the routine is working with.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not stretch the massage past a minute or finish with hot water; both leave the surface feeling tight rather than clean.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this gel cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract on the list.
- Salicylic Acid on this list makes this gel cleanser an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
