Take the skin testA lightweight exfoliating serum perfect for sensitive skin that targets impurities without irritating or stripping the skin, boosts brightness with orange water, and controls sebum with patented Anti Sebum P.
Centella 3% PHA Gentle Liquid Exfoliating Serum is a lightweight serum from Haruharu Wonder, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 21 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethylhexylglycerin and Butylene Glycol, 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 Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol and Water.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Centella Asiatica Extract, Asiaticoside, Madecassoside and Ectoin.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Gluconolactone, Ectoin and Pueraria Lobata Root Extract.
Cell renewal: Moderate. Retinoids, acids and enzymes that speed surface turnover, and here that comes from Gluconolactone.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, 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 oil control and firmness signalling. 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 after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
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
