Black Rice 5 Ceramide Barrier Cream Le bouclier ultime pour les peaux fatiguées ou sensibles. Le + : Sa formule aux 5 types de céramides vient réparer la barrière cutanée en profondeur. 💟 Mon Avis : Une texture onctueuse qui fond sur la peau sans laisser de film gras. Résultat ? Une peau repulpée et protégée contre les agressions extérieures. Si vous cherchez une routine minimaliste mais ultra efficace pour une peau saine, cette crème est ce qu'il vous faut. En plus, c'est vegan et cruelty-free !

This cream has been a lovely discovery in my skincare routine. The HaruHaru Wonder Barrier Cream has a rich yet surprisingly lightweight texture that absorbs easily into the skin without leaving it greasy or sticky. From the very first applications, my skin feels softer, deeply nourished, and visibly healthier. It’s especially ideal when the skin barrier feels stressed or dehydrated, as it helps strengthen the barrier, soothe the skin, and lock in moisture throughout the day. I use it as the final step of my routine, both morning and evening, and my skin looks more elastic, plump, and radiant. It also works beautifully as a makeup base, leaving the skin smooth and comfortable. 🌿 A big plus is the gentle formula, suitable even for sensitive skin, with a very light, non-overpowering scent. 👉 Perfect for anyone looking for an effective moisturizing cream that protects the skin and provides instant comfort.
Rossana F. 5/5
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

One staple skincare on my routine! Love this specially for my damaged skinbarrier. Will always repurchase this.

I absolutely love this essence! 💖 The Haruharu Wonder Probiotic Barrier Essence is perfect, especially during the colder months — it deeply hydrates, leaves my skin soft, and gives it a healthy glow. It absorbs quickly and makes my skin look fresh and radiant. Definitely a product I’ll keep repurchasing! ✨

This is my first time trying a Haruharu product. My skin responded well to it - no sensitivity issues and my skin seemed to look immediately hydrated, glowy, and soft after using it.This cream is very rich. My skin is usually a bit dry (except for 4 days each month when it turns OMG OILY). Generally, I preferred this cream during my dry days and found it a little too heavy for my oily days.For a ceramide cream, I thought it absorbed fairly easily. It does feel a little greasy, especially if you use too much. I don't like this feeling, but it is pretty common with ceramides. Really, a little bit goes a long way.Although there's no added fragrance, the cream has a very light and pleasant scent from its ingredients. It's so subtle that my husband couldn't smell it at all. Honestly, I think it smells lovely. The scent is warm - probably just the rice + ginseng.Overall: After using it for a few weeks, I'm pleased with the effects and I would consider ordering this again in the future. I'd recommend it to those who want a very gentle, barrier cream.

I tried today and it is the best of the best, I feel my skin like 20 (I'm 40 years old) dry skin
Katherinne 5/5 Verified
Rich but not greasy, almost mousse-like. Absorbs quickly and leaves behind supple skin. No fragrance. Fantastic ingredients: you've got ceramide NP front and center, as well as several other ceramides further down. You've also got arginine (antioxidant, hydrator), mannitol and allantoin (more humectants) and a few botanical extracts. Instead of oils, this product uses oil esters, which account for that lighter and easier-absorbed feel. Full ingredient list in my photo. My skin barrier is in good hands with this cream.

I have tried so many different skin care products in my pursuit to find the right one for me. As far as skin care for my face goes, anyway. I am prone to oily skin on my face, so I struggle with too much shine, skin care that is just too moisturizing for me. However, at 43 years old, I need a skin care regimen that includes moisturizer, despite my oily complexion. For the most part, I have fairly clear skin, but along with that, I am prone to redness, uneven tone, and need to maintain any anti aging as possible.This Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence, may very well be my perfect moisturizer/face cream! Additionally, I want a product that does not test on animals, and thankfully, this one is Peta approved, so that's covered too.Right off , the packaging is on point. The bottle is pretty, sleek, clearly high quality materials used, even the product box is nice. It looks luxury to me, so that's a plus. This bottle is a bit different in a way through. It is much harder, and isn't one that you necessarily squeeze to get the product out. It's better to shake it out, due to the type of bottle, and the consistency of the cream being rather thin. It's white in color, but is a bit more liquidy than other similar products. That being said, the thinner consistency takes nothing away from its hydrating and moisturizing ability.This product is easy to apply, has a very cool/cooling feel, and it's extremely moisturizing, while NOT being heavy or oily. When first applied, it looks a bit oily , but only for a few seconds, as it absorbs super fast. Once absorbed and dried, I am left with extremely soft and supple skin, but zero shine or glisten. This is a definite first for me, so I am clearly impressed, and happy with this product. The way it works makes it adequate enough, with tons of benefits for those with dry skin, those with oily skin, combination, or anything in between. I honestly don't know much about this product, and most of the information on the box is in an Asian or Korean language. Despite that, I would almost swear this must be a luxury, top notch product. It's that good, in my opinion.I recommend this product to anyone, for their skin care needs. I apply this product to my clean face and neck, once to twice per day, and after only 2 weeks, I can see a difference in the texture, softness, and overall appearance of my skin. It FEELS soft and hydrated, it's smooth to the touch, and seems supple and healthier than it has in a while. All that while adding no oil or shine. Love it.

This Haruharu cream is just as awesome as all the other Haruharu products I have tried. I have become a fan of the brand. As someone with dry skin, and a user of tretinoin and other acids, I'm constantly in need of barrier creams. This one is so soothing! It feels watery and moisturizing. It's has a mousse-like texture, it's not sticky nor shiny, and it gets absorbed quickly. It leaves my skin so soft! It doesn't have any discernible scent to me. I love that it contains ceramides and allantoin, two of my favoritest skin ingredients. I will buy this again.

When I say I love this I absolutely love this product! I've been very against using multiple products so I stuck to my vanicream face wash and moisturizer due to my sensitive skin (from a period of over exfoliating my skin when I was younger). Adding this to my routine has done wonders. My skin feels plump and hydrated. I will say the first couple days took time to adjust because I don't like having a sticky looking face. My skin adjusted and it looks wonderful now. Highly recommend.Ps those are just veins I have on my face not a byproduct of using this product.

This product is amazing. It comes in a sealed, beautiful, heavy bottle that you shake well before using. After preparing it, you shake out a few drops and pat it on your skin for some instant magic. The milky essence is immediately absorbed into the skin, resulting in a smooth, hydrated surface and skin that instantly looks more plump and firm. This haruharu toner can be used on all skin types, and even my ultra sensitive skin found it to be gentle and soothing, with absolutely no irritation. There is no offending scent.I have been impressed with several of the new Korean skin care products, but this one really blew me away. It made a real difference in my tired, dry skin, giving it a luminescence I really didn't expect. I am thrilled to have found this product to add to my skin care regimen.Of note: the expiration date is three years out, a really nice bonus.

4/26/25 Updated ReviewI've been using this for several weeks and like this cream very much. It's definitely moisturizing and I've increased my 4 star review to 5 stars.Original ReviewI've come to love many Korean skincare products though I've found that the ones I like most are the lightest feeling on the skin, that absorb quickly and have minimal scent.This HARUHARU wonder Black Rice 5 Ceramide Barrier Moisturizing Cream is unscented, cool and creamy going on, not heavy at all and absorbed well. My face feels moisturized, but I am able to sleep since it isn't weighing me down or overly scented. Plus, I was happy to see it is sealed (I broke the seal) - that seems like a given, but I've tried enough products now to know that it isn't. So far I like this a lot.

This is the single best beauty product I have ever purchased. I have very dry sensitive skin with rosacea and I needed something to add hydration to my skin. This leaves my skin so soft and smooth and has even improved my complexion and skin tone. I just purchased another bottle.
Myfavoritethings 5/5 Verified
I'm been using this essence after cleansing and before applying serums or moisturizer. It has a light milky look and feel. I don't notice any scent to speak of. It absorbs readily --you don't need to use a lot. It instantly make my skin look better. It actually looks radiant. Once the product is fully absorbed my skin feels soft and velvety. I don't think I expected this to make a noticeable difference, but I'm impressed. It's a pretty good sized bottle too, so this should last a while.

This haruharu wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence is hydrating and feels soothing on my skin. It has a great list of skin positive ingredients and my normally irritated skin looked less inflamed after using this for a few days. This essence has a milky texture and the bottle needs to be shaken up before using it. It does not have an added fragrance to it (which I appreciate). It feels luxurious and lightweight on my skin, absorbing easily and without leaving a sticky feeling behind. My skin looks smoother and more glowing.

I love these black rice skincare products, the Probiotics barrier essence is so healthy for the skin! Lipid components and ceramides are 2 of the top ingredients. As well as a maybe unexpected one, cholesterol! Probiotics. Makes for a smoother more youthful glow and appearance.

I love this product! It’s richer in Consistency than the other rice toners I have. It instantly moisturizes and calms my skin, leaving it dewy and hydrated. I have used this product for about two weeks, and I believe that in the longer term, it helps to diminish the angry redness on my cheeks and strengthen my skin barrier.

After finishing my first bottle, I had to repurchase it because my skin has never felt better. It’s smoother, more hydrated, and I even feel like it’s helped reduce the appearance of fine lines.

This essence has been a game-changer for my skincare routine, especially when it comes to repairing and maintaining my skin barrier. The combination of black rice and probiotics is incredible—both ingredients are known for their healing and strengthening properties, and they work wonders together. I’ve noticed a huge difference in the health of my skin barrier since I started using this product. The lightweight formula is perfect for everyday use, and it absorbs so quickly that I can layer it under my other products without any heaviness or stickiness. My skin feels soft, hydrated, and protected throughout the day. It’s especially great if you have sensitive skin like mine because it’s soothing and doesn’t cause irritation. I highly recommend this essence if you’re looking for something that offers both hydration and barrier repair in one product!
