Why are Ceramides, Cholesterol and Fatty Acids important for the skin barrier?

Ceramides, Cholesterol and Fatty Acids are lipids naturally associated with the skin's outer protective layer. Together, they help maintain the structure of the moisture barrier and limit excessive water loss. Their combination in Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence provides targeted skincare support for complexions prone to dryness, roughness and discomfort. Fermented Black Rice ingredients and Panthenol add further moisturising and soothing benefits.

How to use:

1. Shake the bottle well before use.

2. Apply an appropriate amount of essence to the cleansed face and neck, gently patting into the skin until absorbed.

3. Add another layer if your skin needs extra hydration. Use morning and evening before moisturiser or as a lightweight moisturising step.

Pro tips: For oily skin, the essence may provide enough hydration to work as a lightweight moisturiser, depending on individual needs. For dry skin, the manufacturer recommends applying 2–3 layers. You can also mix a few drops into your foundation for a more radiant, glass-skin finish, provided the formulas blend well together.
