haruharu wonder Black Rice Night Knight Retinol Serum 20ml

Product Overview

The Black Rice Night Knight Retinol Serum is a gentle but effective nighttime treatment combining microencapsulated retinol (0.08%) with 1% plant‑derived bakuchiol. This duo works to refine skin texture, soften fine lines and boost firmness, while delivering anti-aging benefits with minimal irritation 

🧪 Key Ingredients & Benefits

• Retinol (0.08%) (microencapsulated): Encourages cell turnover and collagen synthesis, helps smooth wrinkles, improves firmness, and minimizes pore congestion—balanced for gentler delivery to sensitive skin 

• Bakuchiol (1%): A plant-based retinol alternative that boosts collagen and elasticity and reduces visible signs of aging without typical retinol irritation, making it ideal for first-time users or reactive skin .

• Ceramide NP & Sunflower Seed Oil: Provide hydration, support the skin barrier, and soothe, helping to mitigate dryness or flaking sometimes associated with retinoid use 

• Fermented Black Rice Extract (≈2,000 ppm) & Bamboo Shoot Bark Extract (≈1,000 ppm): Rich in antioxidants and polyphenols to calm inflammation, nourish, and protect skin from environmental stressors 

• Adenosine & Ginseng Extract: Support firmness, elasticity, and offer a brightening, energizing boost to complexion 

🌿 Texture & Sensory Experience

• Features a lightweight, milky-gel texture that absorbs quickly and finishes with hydration—not heaviness or residue thanks to its fast-sinking formula 

• Fragrance-free and formulated to avoid irritation—perfect for sensitive or reactive skin types 

✅ Skin Compatibility & Use

• Designed for all skin types, but particularly suitable for sensitive skin, beginners to retinoids, or those who find standard retinol too strong 

• Dermatologically mindful: 95% natural ingredients, vegan, cruelty-free, and EWG‑Green rated 

📅 How to Use

1. Use only at night on clean, toned skin.

2. Begin with 1–2 applications per week, gradually increasing as tolerated to nightly use.
