It comes in a jar design with an included spatula. While tubes are generally more convenient, the thick and creamy consistency actually makes scooping it out easier to use. What's fascinating is that you can first use it as a mask, then add water to turn it into a cleansing foam! It gently removes light makeup like eye makeup or sunscreen. For heavier makeup, a double cleanse is definitely necessary. I love how it leaves your skin feeling moisturized after washing, not dry at all.
ConsIt doesn't remove mascara very well. When trying to remove eye makeup, some product can get into your eyes, which really stings. Even when it didn't seem like any got in, the eye irritation was quite severe. While the ingredients are good, this is disappointing.
TipFor those with super sensitive skin, it's important to be cautious when using this product around the eye area. The dual functionality as both a mask and cleanser is innovative, but may not be suitable for everyone, especially those prone to eye sensitivity. Always patch test new products and discontinue use if you experience any burning sensation or allergic reaction.

There are small particles, so it's not completely free of stimulation. However, my skin didn't turn red or develop any blemishes after use! Texture: The texture itself feels like a slightly firm sorbet? When mixed with water, it transforms into a bouncy, creamy texture that rolls smoothly over the skin! Scent: Personally, I liked the scent too! I'm not sure exactly what it smells like, but it was a calming fragrance. Cleansing effectiveness: I used this as a second cleanser after oil cleansing, and its cleansing power was great. It removed all makeup residue cleanly. I'll need to use it more to see if it's good for blackheads. However, it definitely seems to improve skin texture! My skin feels smoother! Despite its good cleansing power, I liked that it didn't leave my skin feeling dry after use. What I liked: The product container is full, so it seems like it will last a long time. A small amount is sufficient for cleansing. It comes with a small spoon for hygienic use.
ConsScent: The scent is quite strong, so it might be hit or miss for those with sensitivities. Cleansing effectiveness: This product alone should be sufficient if you're only wearing sunscreen. However, for those who wear daily makeup including foundation, eyeliner, mascara, etc., I recommend using this as a second cleanser. It probably won't be able to remove all makeup thoroughly on its own. Also, if you prefer a squeaky clean finish, you might feel like there's some residue after washing! Caution: For those with sensitive skin, I recommend using it only 1-2 times a week. Since it's not completely free of stimulation, it might be too much to use daily instead of a foam cleanser.
TipRecommended usage: Take an appropriate amount (about the size of a quarter to half dollar) in your hand, add water, work it into a sufficient lather, and then apply it to your skin.

After washing, my skin felt squeaky clean and refreshed, so even though I have dry skin, I plan to use it more often in the summer. It seems like it would be great for those with oily skin. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves that fresh, clean feeling after cleansing! It's also convenient for managing blemishes and blackheads.
ConsSince I have super sensitive skin, using it daily might be too harsh. I found that using it once or twice a week was just right! Also, it doesn't remove mascara very well. Rubbing your eyes for too long can cause irritation, so if you wear heavy mascara, it's better to remove it separately before cleansing!
TipThe texture was thicker than I expected, so it felt a bit abrasive when applying. Dampening your face slightly before use makes it more comfortable!

Many people have told me that my skin looks so much better! I haven't changed anything else in my routine, just my cleanser, and people keep asking what I'm using! Even though I have extremely dry skin, I've noticed less deep dryness after washing my face since switching to this product.
ConsThe cleansing effectiveness isn't incredibly strong, unfortunately. I prefer to finish my cleansing routine with just one product, but this doesn't remove things like mascara completely. I wouldn't recommend this for those with super sensitive skin! My friend tried it once and her face actually turned red (though she does have extremely sensitive skin!).
TipFirst, apply a small amount of water to soften the formula and place it on your skin! Then, wet your face thoroughly to create a lather, paying extra attention to areas with blemishes and uneven texture!

The texture is true to its name - it's really thick and chewy, just like a rice cake! Because of its dense consistency, it goes on quite thick, making it feel almost like a mask cleanser. There are small granules mixed in, which can be useful for exfoliating dead skin cells. However, I wouldn't recommend this for those with super sensitive skin.
ConsThe scent is a bit artificial, like a sweet mugwort rice cake. It's definitely a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance - personally, I wasn't a fan. In terms of cleansing effectiveness, it's not strong enough for heavy makeup days. It's more suitable for morning cleansing or days with light makeup. After rinsing, your skin doesn't feel squeaky clean, but rather moisturized. The packaging includes a built-in spatula for application, which I found a bit inconvenient. As mentioned earlier, the small granules in the soap might cause irritation when washing. Those with sensitive skin should keep this in mind before purchasing. In conclusion, while I'm glad I got to try it as a Hwahae Tester, I wouldn't spend my own money to use this product again.
TipIf you apply it like a pack and then gently massage with a bit of water, your face feels more hydrated after cleansing!

So grateful! Scent - Fresh green tea aroma / Sweet like rice cake ice cream Texture - Just like sticky rice cakes heated in the microwave Pros: Personally, I adore this kind of fragrance, so the pleasant scent was a huge plus The exfoliating particles in the cleanser aren't harsh - instead of feeling grainy, they gently dissolve, more like soft little beads After cleansing, there's no tightness, as if you've used a low pH foam. It maintains moisture while effectively removing oil, and truly improves skin texture Removes most cosmetics effectively Suitable for both morning and evening use
ConsCons: The jar packaging is the main drawback - having to open and close it, and scoop out the product each time is inconvenient Waterproof cosmetics still require a first cleanse with makeup remover or cleansing oil
TipTry it on your body too - the improvement in skin texture is no joke

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsTexture: It's a bit thicker than other cleansing soaps, making it easier to spread on the face! Application (Deep Dryness): Even after rinsing, my skin feels incredibly hydrated with no deep dryness - love it! Scent & Blackheads: When applying, it has a subtle rice cake scent due to its soap-like texture. I could feel some granules, which seemed to effectively remove blackheads. Blemishes & Lather: No blemishes appeared, and it creates a wonderfully rich lather!
ConsTool: The spatula was quite inconvenient to clean after use. Sensitivity: When I opened my eyes while washing, it stung so badly that I teared up. Effectiveness: To be honest, it didn't dramatically improve my skin, and the effects on blackheads and uneven texture were only temporary, which was a bit disappointing. Cleansing Effectiveness: It doesn't remove mascara well. Trying to remove it with this cleanser made my eyes really sore.
TipFor best results, I highly recommend using this as a second cleanse after removing makeup with an oil or balm cleanser!

It's an incredibly popular product, isn't it?! I've been curious about it for a while since I've seen it everywhere - YouTube, Instagram, KakaoTalk gift shops - since its release. Overall, it seems like a pretty decent product! - Texture: True to its name, it really feels like a rice cake! When I first scooped it out with the spatula, I thought it might be a bit hard rather than chewy, but as you rub it on your hand or face, it transforms into a more elastic texture! And when you add water and massage it in, it gradually turns into a foam with an incredibly soft texture. - Blackhead and dead skin cell removal: You use this product by applying it to your face like a mask, waiting for a few minutes, then wetting it and washing. During the mask-like application, it seems to absorb sebum and blackheads, because after using this product, my skin feels slightly smoother! It also seems to remove dead skin cells quite effectively. - Packaging: Products like this that change texture when wet need to be kept dry, so I appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of a spatula! I usually lose spatulas that come with products, but this one can be stored inside the container, allowing for more hygienic use.
Cons- Cleansing effectiveness: I think I've seen claims that it's powerful enough not to need a second cleanse, but while it removes face makeup cleanly, it doesn't completely remove mascara or eyeliner. If you want to use this product alone for cleansing, it might be best for those who don't wear much eye makeup! - Dryness: I'm not sure if it's because of the mask-like application, but compared to other cleansing products, it left my skin feeling dry. Maybe it's partly because I have very dry skin, but my skin felt quite tight after use! - Inconvenience: As someone who finds removing makeup to be the most annoying thing in the world, I found the process of applying this product to my face and waiting for a few minutes slightly bothersome. They do say you can use it like a regular cleansing foam without waiting, just scooping it out and adding water immediately, but then there's no real reason to use this over a regular cleansing foam. So I do use it as a mask, but because it's a bit of a hassle, I don't reach for it very often.

I was thrilled to find that it removed my makeup completely without needing a separate cleansing oil! Even though I have super dry skin, my face felt hydrated after cleansing, with no deep dryness. It was amazing how moisturized my skin felt!
ConsHowever, it doesn't remove eye makeup or mascara very well, so you'll definitely need to use a separate lip and eye makeup remover. Also, I noticed that my previous purchase had turned brown, possibly due to the natural ingredients. While some say it's still safe to use, I think the slight change in texture is something that could be improved upon.
TipI've always been meticulous about cleansing, so I use the Arencia rice soap as my final cleansing step! After removing all my makeup, I apply the soap like a mask all over my face, gently massage it, and wait for 1-2 minutes. Then I add a bit of water and roll it over my entire face. Next, I add more water to create a rich lather and roll it again before rinsing. This method seems to leave my skin feeling extra clean, which I love!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsIf you have dry, blemish-prone skin and are looking for a cleanser that won't leave your skin feeling tight after washing, I highly recommend the Arencia Rice Soap! After cleansing, it doesn't cause any tightness, and even when used on days I wear makeup, it doesn't lead to blemishes the next day, so I think its cleansing effectiveness is quite good. It comes with a little spoon inside the container, which is great because you don't have to worry about water getting into the product when you're washing your face. Unlike typical foam cleansers that come in tubes, this one comes in a jar, which feels unique. I also like that you can use up every last bit of the product. Although it might look stiff, when you add water and lather it up, it cleanses gently. I could feel some small granules, but they weren't irritating, so it was fine!
ConsWhen I tested its cleansing power on my wrist with Rom&nd lipstick, Peripera tint, Clio eyeliner, Etude mascara, and four shades of Clio eyeshadow, it removed everything well except for the tint, eyeliner, and mascara. The tint came off after rubbing several times, leaving only a slight stain. The eyeliner and mascara were a bit disappointing as they didn't come off easily, but that might be because I applied multiple layers for intense color. However, since I usually use a separate lip and eye remover before cleansing anyway, I still find it works well as a face wash after wearing makeup.
