haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence, Travel Size, Skin Flooding & Layering, Strengthen Skin Barrier, Soothing, Plumping, Holiday Stocking Stuffer, Korean Skincare, 1.01 fl. oz

A Korean friend of mine, who honestly has the most flawless skin I’ve ever seen, recommended this essence to me. When she told me she was 50 (and I thought she was in her 30s!), I knew I had to try her skincare secret — and I’m so glad I did. This Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Essence feels luxurious from the first use. The glass bottle looks and feels high-end, and the texture is this silky, milky essence that absorbs fast and leaves your skin soft and glowy — not sticky at all. After just a couple of weeks, my skin barrier felt stronger, and the glow was unreal. My skin looks smooth, hydrated, and healthy — like that “glass skin” finish you only see in K-beauty routines. It layers perfectly under other skincare and even makeup. If you love products that make your skin look alive again, this one’s a keeper. Subtle at first, but the results build beautifully. Definitely worth it!

Since adding this essence to my skincare routine, my skin feels much more balanced and healthy. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and provides deep hydration without feeling heavy or sticky. I love how it helps strengthen the skin barrier; my skin feels softer, calmer, and has a natural glow. It’s perfect for combination skin because it hydrates without adding excess oil and helps keep the skin looking even throughout the day. Without a doubt, this is a product that brings comfort and visible improvement from the very first applications. A true skincare essential worth including in any daily routine

I’ve been using this essence consistently, and it’s become one of my favorite barrier-support steps. The texture is lightweight but cushiony, and it instantly makes my skin feel more comfortable and hydrated. It absorbs well without feeling greasy or heavy and layers beautifully with toners, serums, and moisturizers. What really stands out is how calming and strengthening it feels. My skin feels less tight and more balanced, especially on days when it’s dry, sensitive, or recovering from actives. It works well both morning and night and pairs perfectly with hydrating toners for skin flooding. If you’re looking for an essence that focuses on hydration, barrier repair, and overall skin comfort, this is an excellent choice. Gentle, effective, and easy to use daily.

So this is the second time purchasing something from this brand & they don't disappoint...I really like this toner. It is very hydrating and gives your skin a very nice dewey appearance. As for the consistency...it is not that thin, it falls somewhere in the middle but plays well under makeup and leaves your skin very hydrated, moisturized and your skin barrier protected. Love! I most definitely will purchase this again! The tik tok girlies say this is "somewhat of a dupe' for the Rhode glazing milk (which I can't personally contest to because I never had that particular product) for less $$. Don't think twice and just grab this wonderful milky toner or anything else from this amazing Korean brand. 🫶🏻

I have an extreme combination and hormonal acne-prone skin. Finding skincare that doesn't cause some sort of reaction on my skin has been a struggle, so I have been starting back from the basics. Barrier creams have a tendency to break me out, so I figured I'd start with a barrier essence. This essence is surprisingly milky! The texture isn't very watery and a little slippery before drying, so it's very easy to spread on my skin. I noticed that the dry areas of my skin stay more hydrated for longer after using this Haru Haru essence. It has been about one week, and I have not noticed any new acne or adverse skin reactions. I'm also very sensitive to scents and need my skincare unscented if possible. This essence is mostly unscented with a very slight scent during application, but it's pleasant and not overpowering. I don't notice the smell at all after it absorbs. I think we're a go! This essence has a reasonable price, and the brand and ingredients are trusted. I'll be repurchasing if I notice long-term results.

Amazing toner that moisturizes and plumps the skin. Fantastic for priming before makeup or getting an extra moisture boost at bedtime, especially for my dry/dehydrated skin. I genuinely love this product except for one major qualm, the packaging. First, it was really difficult to open. Next, the cap cracked and I had to tape it. Finally, this happened (photo attached). The top broke off, the bottle fell, and glass went everywhere. I’m still using the remaining product because of how good it is but something needs to be done about the packaging smh

Glowing Skin in a Bottle – A Must-Have! I can confidently say that the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence is a game-changer in my skincare routine. From the very first application, it delivered an instant sense of soothing hydration that felt like a drink of water for my skin. If you're after that radiant, healthy glass skin look, this essence is exactly what you've been searching for. The texture is lightweight yet nourishing—perfectly balanced. It sinks in effortlessly without any stickiness, leaving behind a subtle glow that looks like your skin, just better. With consistent use, I’ve noticed a visible improvement in my skin’s texture and bounce. It feels stronger, calmer, and more supple. This essence doesn't just feel luxurious—it performs. The blend of fermented black rice and probiotics works beautifully to strengthen the skin barrier and keep it resilient, even when my skin feels stressed or sensitive. Bottom line? This is no longer just another product in my lineup—it’s a staple. If you’re serious about skincare and want that effortlessly luminous, hydrated look, Haruharu Wonder has absolutely nailed it. A must-have from now on.

My first time trying a Korean skincare product. :) I purchased the travel size - arrived well packaged with safety seal. A few drops go a long way. The travel size lasted me a long time. The product applies like silk- leaving a beautiful velvety feel. Does not feel greasy in any way. You pour a few drops into your palms and pat onto your cleansed face. First step of your skincare routine. My skin absolutely loves it. I thought a milky toner or any toner was a superfluous product until I tried this. This Haruharu milky toner is one of the best parts of my day. I look forward to putting it on right after washing my face. My skin feels so nourished and soft. I enjoy it very, very much. So much so that I promptly purchased the full size bottle and still enjoy it every day. I highly recommend this item especially if you are a busy mom looking for a satisfying pick me up. Try this- has a wonderful luxe feeling with a little going a very long way. :) A lot of online skincare fora discourage purchasing from Amazon. However my experience has been excellent- the Haruharu store sells on Amazon, product arrives from a US warehouse and often times is Prime eligible, item is safety sealed. I had no problems and have since tried multiple other Korean skincare brand stores. Very easy to purchase via Amazon and you don’t have to deal with shipping delays.
