Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your normal skin due to glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which hydrate and plump, but the Panax Ginseng Root Extract may not sufficiently address your redness and irritation.
  • The Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil provides emollient action, contributing to general skincare benefits, though it does not offer specialized treatment for your sensitivity.

How to apply

  • Use this soothing AM and PM routine every day to keep your normal skin calm. Always remember to apply SPF in the morning after your moisturizer.
  • Apply your moisturizer after your toner in the morning, and after your serum in the evening. This step locks in hydration and protects your skin.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer evenly across your face. Avoid rubbing to keep your sensitive skin happy and calm.
  • You can apply this gentle formula on dry or slightly damp skin for the best comfort. It works wonderfully on clean skin to soothe redness and irritation.
  • Do a patch test before your very first use to check your skin's reaction. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes .

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 the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Cream work for sensitive skin?

This cream provides moderate moisture for sensitive skin with hydrating ingredients, but it may not sufficiently address redness and irritation. To fit sensitive skin well, a moisturizing treatment of this type needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica and cica ceramide that target redness and irritation while strengthening the skin barrier.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate make this cream a fit by keeping your skin hydrated, though a product for sensitive skin also needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella asiatica and cica ceramide to calm redness and irritation.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Black Rice Extract do for sensitive skin?

Black rice extract helps calm sensitive skin by reducing redness and irritation. It also provides strong antioxidant and moisturizing benefits that keep skin feeling soft and comfortable.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2025

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for sensitive skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps calm and hydrate sensitive skin while supporting the skin barrier to keep it soft and comfortable. Clinical studies show it improves surface moisture and reduces dryness, roughness, and redness without irritation.

Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2018

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

This cream fits into your routine as an evening treatment, applied after your soothing toner and before your moisturizer. Sensitive skin needs a product of this type that also includes calming ingredients to soothe redness and irritation.

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

You can use this cream alongside retinol by applying it after your retinol treatment to help keep your skin hydrated and reduce dryness. This product type works best for sensitive skin when it includes calming plant extracts and barrier-strengthening ingredients that soothe irritation while you use strong actives.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin, though it does not provide specialized treatment to calm redness and irritation.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment around the eyes and on your body because the skin there is among the thinnest regions on you. While glycerin and sodium hyaluronate help hydrate and plump, this cream needs extra soothing ingredients to properly calm sensitive skin in those areas.

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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