03 / YOUR ROUTINE
Shake well, then pat the essence onto the face and neck. The brand says to layer according to skin needs and places it after cleansing, before ampoules and serums. Follow the package directions on your bottle.
haruharu describes a 3:1:1 ratio for lipid components. The U.S. page does not clearly define how the named components map to the ratio or give finished-product percentages.
CHOOSING THIS FORMULA
haruharu’s U.S. page names it Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence and lists a 120 mL size. Amazon’s listing title calls it a milky toner, and it appears in the toner category. The brand page and directions describe an essence; Amazon’s category is a shopping classification.
The U.S. list includes rice extract at 2,000 ppm, bamboo shoot bark extract at 2,000 ppm, galactomyces ferment filtrate at 1,000 ppm, bifida ferment filtrate at 1,000 ppm, panthenol and ceramide NP. It also lists sunflower, meadowfoam and soybean oils, shea butter, squalane, cholesterol and other ceramides.
haruharu says to shake the bottle well, then pat the essence over your face and neck. It suggests layering according to your skin’s needs and places the essence after cleansing, before ampoules and serums. It does not prescribe a fixed number of layers.
haruharu says the formula contains three essential lipid components, ceramides and cholesterol fatty acids in a 3:1:1 ratio. The product page does not explain how each named component maps to the ratio or give finished-formula percentages. This is a manufacturer statement, not a measured skin result.
The existing haruharu Black Rice Probiotics Barrier 2% NAD+ Serum Mist is an 80 mL spray with a brand-stated 2% NAD+ claim. This 120 mL product is an essence applied by patting. Compare the application formats and ingredient lists; they are separate products despite their similar names.

Calculations use complete ingredient lists for the stated market and product version. Listed names do not establish concentrations, equivalent effects or allergy suitability.
Explore products in the same use group with overlapping ingredient lists, then compare their texture, directions and ingredient differences.
Candidates share the page’s language, market context and use group and have a complete ingredient list available. Names are normalized for spacing and reviewed synonyms; duplicate names count once.
The default order divides shared names by all distinct names across both lists: 10 shared names out of 20 distinct names gives 10 ÷ 20. You can instead order by the number of shared names. Up to five candidates are shown.
Ingredient overlap does not establish equivalent effects or a cheaper substitute. Concentrations, ingredient order, finished-product tests and feel are not part of this calculation. Missing lists are not treated as missing ingredients.
