HARUHARU Black Rice Triple AHA Gentle Cleansing Gel 3.38 fl oz — Hydrating Vegan Exfoliant

This lightweight gel cleanser from HARUHARU blends citric, tartaric, and mandelic acids for mild chemical exfoliation while relying on plant-derived oils and humectants to protect the skin barrier. Formulated for daily use, it removes makeup and impurities, delivers antioxidants from fermented black rice and bamboo shoot bark, and leaves skin feeling soft rather than tight. The 3.38 fl oz travel-friendly tube is suitable for those who want a straightforward Korean skincare step that balances glow and hydration.

How does this cleanser exfoliate without irritating skin?

The formula uses a trio of AHAs—citric, tartaric and mandelic—chosen for complementary actions: citric and tartaric encourage surface cell turnover, while mandelic is a gentler, larger-molecule AHA that reduces irritation risk. The product maintains a skin-friendly pH and adds humectants to counter dryness, making exfoliation milder than many acid-based cleansers.

• Triple AHA blend for layered exfoliation
• Mandelic acid lowers irritation potential
• Balanced pH to protect the acid mantle
• Betaine and glycerin to retain moisture

Will this remove makeup and sunscreen effectively?

Yes—the gel contains coconut-derived surfactants and oils that help dissolve oil-based makeup and SPF without overstripping the skin. It performs best as a single-step cleanser for light makeup or as the second step in double-cleansing when removing heavier foundation or long-wear formulas.

• Plant-derived coconut oils for oil-soluble residue
• Gel texture rinses clean, leaving no sticky film
• Suitable for quick morning or efficient evening cleansing
• Works well paired with an oil cleanser for heavy makeup

How does this product support skin tone and texture?

Fermented black rice and bamboo shoot bark deliver antioxidant support that helps protect skin from environmental stressors and encourages an even appearance over time. Combined with regular mild exfoliation from AHAs, this can help smooth texture and reveal brighter-looking skin when used consistently.

• Fermented black rice for antioxidant protection
• Bamboo shoot bark to support skin clarity and tone
• Regular gentle exfoliation promotes smoother texture
• Hydrators prevent rebound dryness that can exaggerate texture

Is the formula ethical and travel-friendly?

HARUHARU designed this cleanser to be vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, using plant-derived ingredients where possible. The 3.38 fl oz size meets most carry-on rules and the gel consistency is convenient for travel routines and on-the-go skin maintenance.

• Vegan-friendly and cruelty-free formulation
• 3.38 fl oz tube fits travel essentials and weekend bags
• Stable gel texture resists leaking and is easy to dispense
• Minimal-rinse formula suitable for varied climates

Who is this for: This cleanser is developed for people seeking a gentle, hydrating exfoliating step—ideal for normal to combination skin or anyone wanting brighter, smoother skin without aggressive stripping. It’s a good match for users who prefer plant-based formulations, travelers looking for a compact cleanser, and those who want antioxidant support alongside mild acid exfoliation. If you have extremely sensitive or reactive skin, patch test first and introduce slowly into your routine.
