Q: Do I have to use this with the black rice toner

submitted by Green Bug - 14 days ago
  • A: Dear Customer, No, you don't have to use the Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence together with the Black Rice Toner — it works well on its own, though pairing it with other products from the Black Rice line can help enhance the overall hydration and barrier-repair benefits. Feel free to use it based on what best fits your skincare routine. Thank you for your interest in our brand!

Q: Does this help with milia that is under the eye?

submitted by Karen - 3 months ago
  • A: Dear Customer, Thank you for your question. This essence isn't designed to treat milia—those small keratin cysts usually need professional extraction by a dermatologist or esthetician rather than a topical product. That said, it's a non-comedogenic certified product with gentle, barrier-strengthening ingredients, so it's a lightweight option that won't clog pores or add congestion around the under-eye area. For the milia itself, we'd recommend seeing a skincare professional for safe removal. haruharu wonder Thank you for your interest in our brand.

Q: Can this product be layered with retinoids?

submitted by Sheriboberry - 6 months ago
  • A: Dear Customer, the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence is an excellent companion for retinoids, as its primary focus is strengthening the skin barrier and providing deep hydration. Retinoids can often cause dryness or irritation, and the probiotics and fermented black rice in this essence work to soothe the skin and lock in moisture, helping to minimize those common side effects. Since this essence is formulated to be gentle and restorative without containing harsh exfoliating acids that might clash with Vitamin A, you can safely apply it before your retinoid to create a hydrating buffer or after to seal in moisture. Thank you for interesting in our brand.

Q: Can I use this while pregnant ?

submitted by Andrea - 6 months ago
  • A: Dear Customer, Thank you for your inquiry regarding haruharu wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence. Based on the ingredient information, this product does not contain ingredients that are generally restricted during pregnancy, such as retinoids or high-strength exfoliating acids. It is primarily formulated with hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients like fermented rice extracts, ceramides, and panthenol. However, since skin sensitivity can increase during pregnancy and individual tolerance may vary, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before introducing any new skincare product to ensure it is appropriate for your personal condition. We appreciate your interest in our brand.

    cheap formula

    I said what I said. Y'all are getting caught up in marketing. They advertise a barrier product stating the key to their formula is "anchored" in 3x ceramides when in fact Ceramides are 27th on the list - likely around 1% or less of the formula. The other barrier ingredients they market are also below a laundry list of basic fillers and humectrants which do not repair a skin barrier and do nothing for true barrier recovery. What you're paying for is marketing but what you're actually getting is a glorified humectrant spray that's actually "anchored" in cheap fillers and chemicals that create a silicone like slip to feel like it's doing something.

    Feels great on the skin, I got the mini to try it out but do plan to buy the full size after this. I have sensitive skin and this gives a nice softness with no irritation. Love it.

    Lipid Milk

    I truly enjoy the feeling of applying this product, I find it soothing and nourishing. I think that in the summer I can apply this as the moisturizer occasionally using the cream when needed but in the winter, this is definitely a must needed pre-moisturizing milky essence I need to boost my ceramide-rich occlusives. I got it on sale but price is reasonable especially as product goes a long way (depending on your needs). I have also used it as a beard milk but that now makes it a bougie beard milk lol. The ingredients are well conceived and have great synergy with the moisturizer. This combo works by replicating the skin barrier’s natural lipid matrix of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids. Ceramides are structurally unstable on their own and require a fatty acid "anchor" to bind to the skin. By applying the milky toner first, you lay down a rich base of cholesterol and oleic-heavy fatty acids (from the shea butter, meadowfoam, and sunflower oils). When you layer the cream on top, its massive 1.01% Ceramide NP payload chemically "latches" onto those oils to lock in a waterproof barrier seal. However, this exact oleic-dominant profile is why it can trigger breakouts for some. Acne-prone skin naturally lacks linoleic acid, which makes its sebum thick and sticky; adding heavy oleic oils to that mix easily suffocates pores and traps debris, whereas dry skin safely drinks it right up.

    Gentle and Hydrating!

    I’ve really been enjoying the haruharu wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence. The texture is lightweight and absorbs nicely without leaving my skin feeling sticky or greasy. My skin feels softer, more hydrated, and comfortable after using it. I also love that it’s unscented, especially for days when I want something gentle and simple. The packaging is sleek and the product feels high quality. It has been a nice addition to my skincare routine and works well under moisturizer and makeup. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a calming, moisturizing essence that feels gentle on the skin!

    I was using this for a while and ran out. I could tell a HUGE difference in my skin when I stopped using it! Now that I bought it again, my pores are smaller, the redness in my cheeks is better, not to mention it feels heavenly when you put it on! I look forward to this skincare step every evening!

    Hydrated Skin

    I like that this toner has a nice thicker consistency compared to toners I have tried. I wish it had a pump dispenser though. I have dry/combo skin type that is sensitive and I have not had any issues with this product. I will continue to use this under my haruharu face moisturizer.

    A Godsend

    I have rosacea and cystic acne, my chin almost always looks red, bumpy, and flaky. I'm constantly trying to prevent new breakouts and heal old ones. The internet says "restore your skin barrier!" Well, I'm almost 40- what haven't I tried at this point?! This. Because this product actually did that, in less than a week. Calmed redness, healed popped pimples AND emerging cysts. I have NEVER used a product this EFFECTIVE in my 25 years of dealing with acne. BUY IT.

    Fantastic

    Love this stuff! Purchased based off a review/recommendation by @rocioxsoria on Instagram and she was so right. This leaves your skin feeling silky soft and moisturized (not greasy at all). I also purchased the face wash and my skin with just these two items is glowing! I use Dickinson rose water/witch hazel toner and a tallow cream, but these items from Haruharu have definitely made a big difference in clarity/brightness (the wash), and softness of my skin.
