Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Probiotics Barrier Essence💜

My Picky Review · April 2025

Some skincare products come and go, but this one actually stayed in my routine. I received the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Probiotics Barrier Essence as a gifted product through Picky, and I was honestly impressed by how deeply it hydrated my skin.

The texture is lightweight and almost gel-like, and it absorbs quickly without leaving my skin feeling sticky or greasy. Right after applying it, my skin feels softer, calmer and more hydrated.

The formula contains fermented black rice, probiotics and hyaluronic acid, which makes it a really nice option when my skin needs extra hydration and barrier support. When I use it at night, I wake up with my skin feeling fresh, smooth and hydrated, almost like I had given my skin a little overnight treatment. 🫧

But one of my favourite ways to use it is actually before makeup. It leaves my skin feeling balanced, plump and smooth, which gives my foundation a much nicer base to work with.

And unlike some very rich hydrating products, this one doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. It gives me that healthy, hydrated glow without feeling heavy.

🫧 The best part?

I originally reviewed this product in 2025, but I still use it daily to this day. That's probably the biggest compliment I can give it. 💜

It has become one of my favourite products for prepping my skin before makeup, especially when I want my skin to look hydrated, smooth and naturally glowy.

🫧 My Picky Verdict

⭐ 5/5

Skin type: Dry / Resilient
Received as: Gifted through Picky
Would I repurchase? Absolutely!

The only little thing I mentioned in my original Picky review was that you can't really see how much product is left inside the bottle, so it's difficult to know when you're getting close to finishing it.

Other than that, I genuinely love this essence. The fact that I'm still reaching for it every day more than a year later says everything. 💜

🎥 I also made a TikTok about it!

I shared my first impressions, texture, ingredients and how I use it in my routine over on TikTok.
