There are cleansers, and then there’s that cleanser, the one that somehow makes you look forward to washing your face at the end of a 12-hour day. For me, it was Arencia’s Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser. The first time I tried it out, I wasn’t expecting much. But within seconds, it felt like I was massaging mochi dough onto my skin, and by the time I rinsed, my face was soft, bright, and hydrated, like I’d just had a mini facial. Naturally, I became obsessed.
Here’s the thing, though: getting Arencia in India used to mean pestering that one friend flying in from Seoul or stalking overseas shipping sites at 2 a.m. But not anymore, babe, because Arencia has officially launched on Nykaa. Cue the squeals, the shopping carts, and the collective sighs of relief from K-beauty lovers everywhere.
And this isn’t just a one-hit wonder launch. From artisanal cleansers to cloud-like scrubs and collagen-boosting serums, Arencia is bringing its full glow-giving arsenal. Consider this your editor-approved guide to the five products worth adding to your Nykaa haul, stat.
1. Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser
The viral legend has entered the chat and your pink cart. The Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser is an artisanal formula crafted over 170 hours, infused with 34 natural extracts. It promises deep cleansing without the dreaded post-wash tightness. When I tested it after a particularly long day in Mumbai’s humidity, it lifted oil, sweat, and SPF like a dream, but my skin still felt plump, never stripped. It’s also a saviour for sensitive skin, defending against dryness, roughness, and irritation.
2. Red Smoothie Serum 30
If skincare were a power smoothie, this would be it. The Red Smoothie Serum 30 is a collagen-boosting, pore-refining dream enriched with rosehip extract, hibiscus flower extract, and niacinamide. The result? Firmer, more radiant, glassy skin. Its light gel texture is another win; it sinks in fast without leaving a trace of stickiness. Consider it your shortcut to that “I just came from a facial” glow, but with the convenience of a Nykaa order.
3. French Mint & Lily Fresh Cloud Body & Scalp Scrub
The Fresh Cloud Body & Scalp Scrub is exactly what the name promises: fluffy, airy, and indulgent. It exfoliates, cleanses, and moisturises in one step thanks to French sea salt, jojoba oil, and olive oil. I tried it on a Sunday night reset routine, and it turned my bathroom into a mini spa. My skin came out smoother and softer, and when I used it on my scalp, my roots felt refreshed like I’d just had a clarifying treatment at a salon. It’s also vegan, cruelty-free, sulfate- and paraben-free, so you can indulge guilt-free.
4. Holy Hyssop Serum 12
Hyperpigmentation, fine lines, blemishes? Meet your match. The Holy Hyssop Serum 12 blends 10% Niacinamide with a Vitamin ACE complex, plus hyaluronic acid and rice water for hydration. Translation: it’s the multi-tasker your skincare shelf has been begging for. When I introduced it into my nightly routine, I noticed my pigmentation around my lips softened and my skin tone evened out within days. And yet, it didn’t irritate my sensitive patches, a rare win in the world of potent serums. The texture is rich but never heavy, making it perfect for layering under moisturiser.
5. Hyssop Fume Balm
Eye creams are great, but balms? Game-changing. The Hyssop Fume Balm is an all-in-one wrinkle-smoother for under eyes, smile lines, and even your neck. Its velvety texture melts into the skin, delivering hydration and elasticity without greasiness. Personally, I love dabbing it under my eyes before bed; it makes me look like I’ve had eight hours of sleep when I’ve barely managed three. I’ve also started swiping it along my smile lines, and the difference in plumpness is noticeable. It’s one of those products that feels luxe but practical, and now it’s just a click away on Nykaa. If you’re hunting for a multi-tasker that doubles as skincare and self-care, this balm deserves top billing in your cart.
