Soft Cleansing Gel at pH 5.5 with Fermented Black Rice and Bamboo Shoot Bark
Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture 5.5 is a gentle daily facial cleanser formulated at a mildly acidic pH of 5.5, in line with healthy skin's natural surface. The cleansing system is built on coconut-derived surfactants (Coco-Betaine, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Potassium Cocoate), and the water phase is reinforced with fermented Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Phyllostachys Pubescens (bamboo) Shoot Bark Extract and Panax Ginseng Root Extract. Beta-Glucan, Trehalose and Glycerin sit alongside the surfactants to help skin feel comfortable rather than tight after rinsing.
Why Choose It?
- Mildly acidic pH 5.5 cleansing system based on coconut-derived Coco-Betaine, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate and Potassium Cocoate

- Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Trehalose and Beta-Glucan help skin feel comfortable, not tight, after rinsing
- Soft gel texture from Xanthan Gum and Hydroxyethylcellulose lathers gently without harsh foaming
- Suitable for daily morning and evening use, including on sensitive skin types
Best For
Skin that wants a gentle daily wash that respects a mildly acidic surface pH — including sensitive and reactive skin. The pH 5.5 surfactant system removes makeup, sunscreen and daily build-up without the squeaky-tight feeling some traditional soap cleansers leave behind, which makes it a comfortable first step in both morning and evening routines.
Use morning and evening as the cleansing step. Follow with a hydrating face cream for sensitive skin to lock in moisture once skin is towel-dry.
- Wet hands and face with lukewarm water.
- Dispense a small amount of gel onto wet palms and rub together to build a soft lather.
- Massage gently over the face for around 30 seconds, focusing on the T-zone and any areas with makeup or sunscreen.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no residue remains.
- Pat dry and continue with the rest of the routine while skin is still slightly damp.
Tips
- For full makeup or heavy SPF, use an oil-based first cleanser beforehand and follow with this gel as the second wash.
- Avoid very hot water, which can leave even a gentle cleanser feeling drying.
- If skin is reactive or you are layering multiple actives in your routine, patch test on the inner forearm before first full-face use.
