Arencia

Arencia is a Korean vegan beauty brand that pursues sustainable beauty based on fresh plant-based ingredients, advanced scientific technology, and craftsmanship. Inspired by the fields of natural herbs and botanical skincare remedies in Southern France, Arencia incorporates these elements into fresh, effective formulas. The brand encourages a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle, with high-quality products that come in elegant packaging designed to be repurposed after use. The result is a range that feels as good to use as it is for your skin and the planet.

Arencia has built a devoted following around a handful of hero products. The Fresh Green Mochi Cleanser is a cult favourite, made with 32 natural ingredients including Almond Powder, Rice Powder, and Green Tea Powder for powerful but gentle cleansing that leaves skin soft and refined. For those with drier or more mature skin, the Fresh Royal Rosehip Mochi Cleanser is equally beloved, packed with Rosehip Extract and Pink Aloe Vera to nourish and brighten while cleansing. On the serum front, the Holy Hyssop Serum 30 is a firm favourite, combining natural ingredients rich in Vitamins A, C, and E with various Peptides to effectively slow the signs of ageing. Rounding things out, the Red Collagen Jello Hydrogel Mask is a standout treatment, delivering a surge of Red Collagen and deep hydration for visibly plumper, more radiant skin.

Arencia organises its skincare into focused ranges, each built around a hero ingredient.
The Rice Mochi Cleansers are the most iconic, with four variants to suit different skin types: the Fresh Green Mochi Cleanser for oily and acne-prone skin, the Fresh Blue Hyssop Mochi Cleanser for combination skin, the Fresh Royal Rosehip Mochi Cleanser for normal, dry, or mature skin, and the Calendula Rice Mochi Cleanser for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
The Holy Hyssop range centres on the brand's hero botanical, French Hyssop Extract, with the Holy Hyssop Serum 30 offering a higher concentration for intensive anti-ageing and brightening results, and the Holy Hyssop Serum 12 providing a lighter, everyday option.
The Red Smoothie range is all about glow and skin renewal, with the Fresh Red Smoothie Serum 30 delivering a rich overnight treatment and the Fresh Red Smoothie Serum 8 working as a daily brightening and pore-refining formula.

Building a routine with Arencia is refreshingly straightforward. Start with one of their Cleansers to deeply cleanse, refine pores, and prep your skin without stripping it. During the day, apply a lightweight droplet Serum to brighten and refine, and at night, layer a jar serum of your choice to restore balance and target specific concerns while you sleep. Seal everything in with a moisturiser to strengthen the skin barrier and lock in all that goodness.

Arencia is known for its clean, plant-based formulas, favouring natural ingredients like Rice, Green Tea, and Calendula. Key hero ingredients across the range include French Hyssop Extract, Rice Water and Powder, Bentonite Clay, and Pink Aloe Vera Extract, alongside Vitamins A, C, and E and various Peptides. You will not find silicones, Parabens, Sulfates, Petrolatum, or Formaldehyde in any of their formulas.

Arencia skincare is 100% cruelty-free and vegan-friendly. None of their products are tested on animals, and the brand takes pride in using only natural and ethically sourced ingredients, free from harmful chemicals and animal-derivatives.
