This or That? Rhode's Viral Product vs the K-Beauty Barrier MVP Haruharu
Rhode$48.00- “Rhode Glazing Milk uses four different types of hyaluronic acid at different molecular weights”
- “Some of the hyaluronic acid plumps and hydrates at the top surface of your skin, some of it hydrates deeper down into your skin and they're working at different levels to really provide a lot of hydration and a lot of plumping”▶ 1:50
- “Rhode is using three different types of ceramides. We have cholesterol content as well as fatty acids. They are using omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids and those are particularly high quality, very good for your skin barrier”
- “There's more of a hydrating element to it, that watery element, the hyaluronic acid component to it that makes it feel very refreshing, hydrating, and then that silky creaminess just sits on top of your skin”▶ 1:34
- “It actually just kind of glides into something a lot thinner, a lot more watery, and yet still balancing, moisturizing”
- “It delivers on a glaze”
- “The Rhode side maybe felt a little bit tight, maybe just a little bit more dry than the Haruharu side did”
- “It is lighter, it's not as rich in the fatty acids. It's not as rich in the oil content. It's not as rich in the emolliency and in the thickness of the texture. It actually suits my skin really well right now”
- “The humectant content, the lightness in the application, the way it doesn't feel as heavy on my skin, and the way that it's not so overly rich, it's not causing congestion or whiteheads for me”
- “Rhode is definitely the lighter option of the two”
- “I'm actually just using both just for different needs in different seasons. I just think that they're both very good products at the end of the day”
Haruharu Wonder$28.00- “There is no hyaluronic acid at all in this formula”▶ 2:15
- “They have included panthenol, which is, you know, it's somewhat similar in feel and performance to glycerin as far as, you know, it hydrates and plumps your skin. You know, the secret sauce for panthenol is that it actually helps to strengthen up your skin barrier by helping the lipid layer in skin”▶ 2:22
- “Haruharu is using five different varieties of ceramides. We have cholesterol as well as phytosterol content”▶ 3:31
- “They're using fermented content. There's actually quite a bit of fermented ingredients in here including galactomyces and bifida ferment aspergillus ferment”▶ 4:11
- “It actually feels a lot more rich, a little bit more oil-based, a lot more emollient, and way more moisturizing”▶ 8:23
- “This side feels way more moisturized, it feels way more rich, um way more um comforted and soothed if you have dry skin”▶ 9:28
- “I'm absolutely obsessed with it”
- “It is incredibly moisturizing, nourishing, calming for my skin”▶ 12:09
- “It is incredibly good at keeping your skin barrier strong. It's also incredibly good at adding in a lot of moisture, a lot of soothing, um and a lot of comfort to my skin when it is in a very dry, irritated state”▶ 12:39
- “I can't use it in all seasons. ... it can actually lean a little bit more on that side, the oily side, in the summer months when it's hot and humid where I live. And so, I find that this essence actually feels too heavy for me in that type of weather”
- “I do tend to get a little bit of congestion and some whiteheads when I use it past um my skin's worst dryness um months”▶ 13:13
- “Haruharu, it is really superior for dry skin. I do often talk about this product as one of the richest cream essences that I've ever tried”▶ 14:45
- “This product does not contain hyaluronic acid as I already mentioned, but it doesn't contain niacinamide either”▶ 15:23
- “The fermented ingredients and the superior, you know, variety of ceramides, I think, and barrier repairing ingredients overall ... do make this a more superior repairing product for really ailing skin”▶ 15:37
- “I'm actually just using both just for different needs in different seasons. I just think that they're both very good products at the end of the day”▶ 17:55
