This one is the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence.▶ 7:34–7:43

The hydration actually lasts than the Hatomugi.▶ 7:50–7:56
It's not runny at all, like it's really holding its shape.▶ 7:56–8:01
The texture is so unique, it actually really holds its form, and it's not as runny as the rest, almost like a gel moisturizer.▶ 8:05–8:12
Even though it's not watery, it's also not heavy.▶ 8:14–8:21
This one also really layers beautifully. Also not sticky, very smooth.▶ 8:17–8:25

Black rice is actually fermented for 100 hours where it goes through a process of heating and then cooling and heating and cooling which then creates the galactomyes ferment filtrate and the bifida ferment filtrate.▶ 7:03–7:08
It's like giving your skin the meal that it's hungry for.▶ 7:19–7:28
This one has five different types of ceramides which build your skin barrier so that it looks naturally glowy.▶ 7:30–7:36

This is my holy grail now for over a year.▶ 5:15–5:21
The Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence has done more for my skin than a lot of crazy rich creams.▶ 5:18–5:27
This does such a beautiful job of really nourishing the skin, imparting both moisture and hydration.▶ 5:27–5:32
You can just layer on a couple layers of this and your skin is so deeply replenished, but it's just so freaking lightweight.▶ 5:38–5:43
I have personally found that I'm not using super rich creams anymore. I am layering thinner creams, essences, toners, and finding that my skin has been doing incredible as far as actually repairing the skin barrier.▶ 5:46–5:53
I have, yeah, seen kind of the best results that I've seen in a while.▶ 6:07–6:14

I always use my Haruharu Wonder Barrier Essence and I just apply this as I normally would a moisturizer.▶ 1:13–1:24
Because this is a milky, bouncy kind of toner essence product, I could layer this up and just use this as a moisturizer with sunscreen on top.▶ 1:21–1:32
I know that this is always very calming for my skin.▶ 1:44–1:50
It's going to get along well with my skin.▶ 1:48–1:55
This is a holy grail product.▶ 1:55–1:59
