First of all the packaging is so pretty 😍 Unlike lightweight essences, this one has a thicker consistency. When placed in my hands, it doesn’t run or move like water. Instead, it stays put, which I appreciate because I feels like it’s delivering more nourishment to my skin. Despite the thicker texture, it applies smoothly and absorbs well, without feeling heavy or greasy. I also love the formula itself packed with black rice, probiotics, and other natural ingredients. These components give my skin a soothing effect, especially when I experience redness or irritation.  I went on a trip where I started using this essence, the country I visited had a hot and dry climate, and it really helped me maintain hydration.  Overall, the Haruharu Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence is an excellent choice if you’re looking for something that offers a bit more than a lightweight essence. It’s ideal for those who want deep hydration, barrier protection, and a nourishing formula that will leave your skin looking smoother and healthier. It has definitely earned its place in my skincare routine 💕
