Let’s talk toner. Not the old-school stinging stuff that smells like chemicals and leaves your face feeling like sandpaper. I mean proper toner. The kind that slots into your skincare routine like it was always meant to be there. And today, I’ve got a new one that’s earned a solid gold spot on my shelf: the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner.
I know, I know—black rice? It sounds more like something from a fancy health food aisle than a skincare superstar, but hear me out. This toner has absolutely blown me away.
So, what is it?
This little bottle of wonder is packed with fermented black rice extract (a whopping 95%), which is a total powerhouse when it comes to antioxidants. It helps protect the skin from environmental stress and free radicals—basically, all the stuff that ages your skin before its time.
On top of that, there’s hyaluronic acid for hydration, beta glucan for skin repair, and not a drop of alcohol or fragrance in sight. That’s right—this is sensitive skin-approved, fragrance-free, cruelty-free, and vegan. All the things I love in one chic little bottle.
My experience
I’ve been using this both morning and evening, straight after cleansing, and I can honestly say my skin drinks it up like it’s been lost in a desert. It’s lightweight, non-sticky, and layers beautifully under serums and moisturisers. No pilling, no greasy finish—just soft, plump, glowy skin.
It’s one of those products where I noticed a difference quickly. Redness? Calmed. Dry patches? Gone. Overall dullness? Not on my watch.
Final thoughts?
Like a lot of K-Beauty products, this isn’t just a pretty K-beauty bottle with a trend ingredient—it’s genuinely effective and an absolute gem for hydration, barrier repair and daily glow. And the best part? It doesn’t cost the earth.
If your skin’s feeling tired, tight, or just a bit blah, I highly recommend giving this one a go, and it is on sale in Boots.
Let me know if you’ve tried anything from Haruharu Wonder—I’ve already got my eye on the Black Rice Serum next...
