The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen has become a morning skincare staple for a pale redhead beauty writer, who praises its lightweight texture and high performance. The 50ml tube is currently reduced from £17 to £14.10 on Amazon, offering an affordable upgrade to daily sun protection.
Key Features and Benefits
The sunscreen provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB SPF50+ protection, along with PA++++, the highest level of protection against premature aging, wrinkles, and skin damage. Its airless pump packaging keeps the formula fresh and prevents oxidization, dispensing the right amount of product each time.
As a chemical sunscreen, it offers a lightweight texture that absorbs instantly into the skin, unlike mineral sunscreens that can leave a layer on top. The formula is enriched with fermented black rice extract and rice bran oil for hydration, plus niacinamide to brighten and even out skin tone over time.
Performance Under Makeup
The sunscreen passes the crucial test of sitting well under makeup. Foundation applies smoothly without pilling, and it imparts a healthy glow without needing additional primers. The writer notes that even with the recommended two-finger amount, the product rubs in easily and never feels greasy.
Customer Reviews
One shopper commented: “I received one of these tubes as part of a Korean beauty box edit about 18 months ago and I immediately liked it. I have now re-purchased because I find it the most lovely feel on my skin. It doesn't make my makeup patchy, it doesn't pill under makeup, and it absorbs quickly, whilst leaving my skin feeling soft and non-oily. For reference, I have combination skin, I am 37, and have a history of acne-prone skin.”
Another added: “This is a really excellent product. I have a richer skin tone and this does not give me any kind of white film on my skin (which other sunscreens sometimes do). This feels light on the skin, I have worn make up over it without any issues. I would recommend.”
A fourth five-star review said: “I stay away from thick sunscreens because I’m an oily babe. But BABY this sunscreen here is one of the best I’ve used. Although it’s thick in texture it feels lightweight on the skin and keeps my skin moisturized. Not heavily fragranced which is a plus and doesn’t get heavy with reapplication. Haru haru wonder should make a big size because I run out fast and I’m currently on my 6th tube.”
Considerations for Oily Skin
Because it is a hydrating formula with a dewy finish, it may not suit oily skin types. One reviewer noted: “Tried after reading some reviews. Gives a nice glow. But leaves my skin greasy. My skin type is oily, so not ideal.”
Comparison with Other SPFs
The writer ranks Haruharu Wonder among current favorites, alongside No7 Future Renew UV Defence Shield SPF 50 at £24.95 and Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen SPF50, which offers a matte finish. With over 2,000 bottles sold on Amazon in the last month, the Haruharu Wonder sunscreen has garnered significant popularity.
