HARUHARU Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel — 3.4 fl.oz, Low-pH Gentle Daily Cleanser

HARUHARU Wonder Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel is a soap-free, low-pH daily cleanser that removes makeup and impurities while helping preserve skin moisture and barrier balance.

This lightweight gel cleanser is formulated around fermented black rice and bamboo shoot bark to provide antioxidant-rich care while maintaining skin’s natural pH at about 5.5. The formula is soap-free and uses coconut-derived surfactants to clean without stripping; added trehalose, ginseng root extract, and fermented rice extracts help keep skin hydrated and soft. Clinically tested for non-irritation and marked vegan and cruelty-free, the product aims to suit sensitive and normal skin types who want an everyday cleanser that respects moisture balance.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and sunscreen without harsh rubbing?

The gel texture emulsifies on contact with water to lift makeup, SPF, and daily pollutants without requiring aggressive scrubbing. Its cleansing agents are mild yet effective, dissolving residues so they can rinse away cleanly, lowering friction on the skin surface.

• Soap-free formula avoids alkaline harshness that can dry skin.
• Coconut-derived surfactants break down oils gently.
• Gel-to-milk or gel-to-foam action helps rinse off makeup cleanly.
• Suitable for daily double-cleansing routines when heavier makeup is worn.

What ingredients support moisture and skin barrier health?

Key humectants and fermented botanicals work together to preserve hydration during cleansing. Trehalose attracts and retains moisture; fermented rice and ginseng root extracts help soothe and support a healthy-looking surface after washing.

• Trehalose: hydrating sugar that helps maintain moisture levels.
• Fermented black rice and rice extracts: antioxidant and conditioning benefits.
• Ginseng root extract: calming, conditioning support for texture.
• pH 5.5 balance: minimizes disruption to the acid mantle for less dryness.

Is this product appropriate for sensitive or reactive skin?

The formula is clinically tested for non-irritation and deliberately excludes soap and known harsh detergents to reduce the risk of irritation. Vegan and cruelty-free labeling and the use of gentle surfactants aim to make the cleanser tolerant for many sensitive skin types, but patch testing is recommended if you have a history of strong reactions.

• Low-pH, soap-free base reduces barrier disruption.
• Mild coconut-derived cleansing agents instead of strong sulfates.
• Clinically tested non-irritating, suitable for daily use.
• Patch test first if you have severe sensitivity or active eczema.

How should I use this cleanser in my skincare routine?

Use as a morning and evening cleanser: apply to damp skin, massage gently to emulsify makeup and impurities, then rinse thoroughly. If wearing heavy or waterproof makeup, follow with an oil-based cleanser first for a two-step cleanse; otherwise this gel is effective as a single-step daily face wash.

• For light makeup or morning use: one-step cleansing on damp skin.
• For heavy makeup or sunscreen: use after an oil cleanser as the second step.
• Massage briefly—no aggressive rubbing—to emulsify and lift residues.
• Rinse with lukewarm water and follow with toner/serum as desired.

Who is this for: HARUHARU Wonder Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel is aimed at people seeking a gentle, everyday cleanser that prioritizes moisture balance and barrier-friendly pH. It suits those with normal to sensitive skin who want antioxidant support from fermented botanicals, prefer vegan and cruelty-free products, and need a product that removes daily makeup and sunscreen without leaving skin tight or dry.
