These two cleansers take different paths to a similar destination. Both formulas include solid hydrating ingredients, and the overall scores reflect that — the gap here is genuinely slim.
Active Ingredient Strength is another area of separation. The Ordinary The Resurface & Hydrate Set with Hyaluronic Acid Serum + AHA scores 6.9 here versus 5.6 for Arencia Pore Melt Non-Comedogenic Double Cleansing Duo Gift Set for Acne-Prone Skin. That difference comes down to how each formula is built — the ingredient list tells the story.
Arencia Pore Melt Non-Comedogenic Double Cleansing Duo Gift Set for Acne-Prone Skin brings Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter Extract, and Tocopherol as actives, while the Ordinary The Resurface & Hydrate Set with Hyaluronic Acid Serum + AHA relies on Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Lactic Acid. Both approaches have merit, but the positioning and supporting ingredients make the difference.
At mid-range pricing with a score of 8.5, Arencia Pore Melt Non-Comedogenic Double Cleansing Duo Gift Set for Acne-Prone Skin delivers strong value. The Ordinary The Resurface & Hydrate Set with Hyaluronic Acid Serum + AHA sits at the budget level with a 8.4 score — the extra cost doesn't translate to better scores here.
