Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testIndulge in the refreshing purity of HaruHaru Wonder Black Rice Triple AHA Gentle Cleansing Gel, meticulously crafted to cleanse and exfoliate, unveiling a radiant complexion. Infused with fermented black rice and bamboo shoot bark extracts, along with betaine and glycerin, this pH-balanced vegan formula ensures thorough yet gentle cleansing, leaving skin moisturized post-wash. Harnessing the power of Triple AHA, dead skin cells and excess sebum are effortlessly swept away, unveiling smoother, clearer pores.
Black Rice Triple AHA Gentle Cleansing Gel is a watery-light gel cleanser from Haruharu Wonder, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 25 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as very light — essentially a water-and-humectant base with little emollient weight. With almost no emollient load it should absorb quickly and finish close to matte. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Coco-betaine and Propanediol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Coco-betaine, Propanediol and Betaine.
On richness alone it suits Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and soothing. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
