Shopper reviews and reception
The Trending Beauty Box is new and has not yet received reviews. The Haruharu Wonder cleanser, however, has a 4.4 out of five star rating based on more than 30 reviews. One shopper said: "Absolutely love this cleanser. I have had extremely sensitive, red and painfully dry skin all my life and have tried hundreds of products however this cleanser is incredible."
Another wrote: "For someone with sensitive, very dry, acne prone skin, this is amazing. It leaves my skin cleansed but very hydrated. Really recommend, I’ve been through so many bottles of this." A third added: "Great product. I use this after I use the oil cleanser and it foams up nice and leaves the skin feeling clean and so soft."
One four-star review noted: "It’s really nice and has a good consistency. My only negative would be that it’s difficult to emulsify but other than that it’s really good." A one-star review said: "Heard a lot about Korean skin care so got this product. Would not recommend. Didn’t suit my skin."
Another five-star review read: "This cleanser is super gentle and perfect for my sensitive skin. It takes off the day without making my face feel tight or dry. Honestly feels like a soft reset every morning and night."
