Description
The Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence from HARUHARU WONDER is a deeply nourishing essence formulated to strengthen and repair the skin’s barrier while delivering hydration, nourishment and antioxidant support. It uses a blend of black rice lees extract, fermented probiotic-filtrates and a “5 Ceramide Complex + 5 Fatty Acids Complex” to replenish essential lipids in the skin. The milky-cream texture absorbs smoothly yet leaves a comforting finish — designed for those whose skin is depleted, flaky, or showing early signs of barrier stress.
Size: 120ML
Skin Type
Normal to dry skin — particularly skins that feel tight, flaky or in need of stronger lipid support.
Combination skin with dry/rough patches — this essence can support the dry zones while still being lightweight.
Sensitive or barrier-compromised skin — the formulation emphasises barrier repair (ceramides, fatty acids) and soothing ingredients, making it appropriate when your barrier is damaged.
Skin with early signs of texture/firmness loss or visible dullness — because the fermented extracts and black rice help with elasticity & tone.
Key Benefits
Strengthens the skin barrier — Through the 5 Ceramide Complex + 5 Fatty Acids Complex plus cholesterol/phytosterols, this essence replenishes the key lipids in the skin’s outer layer, supporting moisture retention and reducing sensitivity.
Hydrates & nourishing texture — The formula includes fermented ingredients (Galactomyces ferment filtrate, Bifida ferment) which help boost moisture, improve texture and provide a “milky” comforting feel.
Antioxidant & soothing support — With black rice lees extract (rich in antioxidants), panthenol, ginseng root extract, the essence helps calm stressed skin and defend against environment-linked damage.
Improves elasticity & visible skin quality — User reviews detail smoother skin, less visible dryness/flaking and a more resilient look after use.
Key Ingredients
Black Rice (Oryza Sativa) Lees/Extract — Up-cycled rice extract acts as antioxidant, supports nutrient delivery and helps soothe and repair the skin barrier.
Galactomyces & Bifida Ferment Filtrates (Probiotic Ferments) — These probiotic-derived ingredients support skin metabolism, moisture retention and texture improvement.
5 Ceramide Complex (e.g., Ceramide NP, NS, AP, AS, EOP) — These are skin-identical lipids that fill and reinforce the barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving resilience.
5 Fatty Acids Complex + Cholesterol & Phytosterols — These lipids synergise with ceramides to mimic natural barrier lipids, boosting repair and overall skin health.
Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) & Panax Ginseng Root Extract — Soothing/hydrating and nourishing actives that help calm stressed skin and support vitality.

Pregnancy and Nursing Safe
YES
While the product contains natural and soothing ingredients, it is advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals to consult a healthcare professional before using any new products.
How to use
After cleansing and toning, shake the bottle (if the product has a dual-layer or sediment texture) to ensure ingredients blend.
Dispense a moderate amount (e.g., 1–2 pumps or a coin-sized amount) and apply to the face (and neck if desired).
Gently massage or press the essence into the skin—either with fingertips or palms—to aid absorption.
Light pat the skin to encourage deeper penetration of the lipids and ferments.
Follow with your serum/moisturizer: Because your barrier is compromised, follow this essence with a hydrating serum and a barrier-repair cream/cream with ceramides/fatty acids.
Frequency: Suitable for daily use (morning or evening). On nights when your barrier is particularly stressed/flaky, you might use this essence together with a richer cream and skip other strong actives.
Tip for your skin condition: On days you feel your skin is peeling/flaky, you can use this essence as your main active step (skip exfoliants) to allow barrier recovery. On better days you can return to your normal actives.
Storage note: Keep the bottle upright, avoid extremely hot/humid storage, and close the cap tightly after use — the enzyme/ferment-rich nature of the product benefits from proper storage
