Black Rice Night Knight Retinol Serum
Verdict
Haruharu Wonder's Black Rice Night Knight Retinol Serum has a milky texture packed with ceramides, and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sam Ellis calls it "texturally beautiful." The 0.08% microencapsulated retinol releases slowly to reduce irritation, making it a go-to for sensitive, dry, or rosacea-prone skin, according to both Dr. Ellis and Beauty Within. It sinks in quickly even on oily skin and is described as gentle yet effective for retinol beginners.

If you have really really sensitive skin, if it's super dry, but you still want the benefits of retinol, this is it.11:15–11:20
It's truly one of the most gentle, calming, and nourishing retinols.11:23–11:28
It's got microencapsulated retinol at 0.08% and also the rice extract.11:28–11:34
I've loved using this in the last 3 months. Winter pairing it with milky consistencies is just perfection.11:35–11:44
If you have dry skin, if you have oily skin, I have oily skin, this sinks immediately into my face.11:44–11:48
The serum one is texturally beautiful.10:19–10:22
This also contains encapsulated retinol which means that the way the retinol is released into the skin is more slow and controlled.10:37–10:43
Reduces the irritation potential of a product like this.10:48–10:53
If I have a patient who is new to retinoids and they're like where do I start? I recommend this one all the time.10:52–10:55
