  • The product is safe for your dry skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

People Say

★4.5Overall rating based on 2.5k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this cream is widely praised as a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer ideal for combination and oily skin types, often described as leaving a "satin" or non-greasy finish. While it effectively soothes and hydrates mild dryness, users with very dry skin or those in harsh winter climates frequently report it is not occlusive enough to be their sole moisturizer.

Questions and answers

How well does Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Cream work for dry skin?

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Cream works for dry skin, though other products fit it better. To truly thrive, dry skin needs a product rich in moisture-retaining ingredients, soothing emollients, and skin barrier support.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Journal of Ginseng Research, 2017

Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for dry skin?

Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin help bring hydration to dry skin, while evening primrose oil and safflower seed oil soften it. Panax ginseng root extract also helps smooth and nourish the skin.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Journal of Ginseng Research, 2017

What does Black Rice Extract do for dry skin?

Black Rice Extract helps keep dry skin moisturized and supports a strong moisture barrier. Rice-derived ingredients are safe to use and offer gentle hydration.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022International Journal of Toxicology, 2006

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for dry skin?

Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into dry skin, giving an immediate and lasting boost in hydration that helps smooth out fine lines and soften rough patches. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation while improving overall skin smoothness and plumpness.

Dermatology and Therapy, 2021Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011

Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

This moisturizing treatment goes in the morning routine after a hydrating toner and before sunscreen, and in the evening routine as the last step after your treatment. Dry skin generally needs a product with rich skin-softening oils and deep hydrators to lock in moisture and soothe flaky areas.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cream with retinol, applying the retinol first and following with the cream to keep your skin soft and calm. This product is unlikely to irritate dry skin, but this skin type generally does better with richer moisturizers containing ceramides, shea butter, or squalane to lock in extra hydration.

Cutis, 2006

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine to keep dry skin soft and hydrated. Daily application helps improve skin moisture and barrier function while remaining gentle on your skin.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin, as it is free of harsh or heavy ingredients that typically trigger irritation. It contains nourishing plant oils and hydrating ingredients that help keep dry skin comfortable and soft.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this cream around your eyes and on your body, as it has a very safe formula with no harsh ingredients. However, because dry skin needs richer oils and deeper hydration in those thinner or drier areas, products tailored specifically for them may fit even better.

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It contains fragrance (linalool and limonene) and drying alcohol (ethanol).
