The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen, a Korean SPF50+ formula currently priced at £14.30 on Amazon, has proven its worth in a rigorous test of texture, makeup compatibility, and sun protection. The 50ml tube, reduced from £17, offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection with the highest PA++++ rating, ensuring effective defence against premature ageing and skin damage.
Lightweight Formula Absorbs Instantly
As a chemical sunscreen, the Haruharu Wonder provides a lightweight consistency that absorbs into the skin immediately, leaving no greasy residue. The airless pump packaging maintains freshness and prevents oxidisation. The formula includes fermented black rice extract and rice bran oil for hydration, along with niacinamide to brighten and even skin tone over time.
Makeup Compatibility Test
One of the most crucial tests for any SPF is performance under makeup. The Haruharu Wonder passes this test with flying colours: foundation glides on smoothly without pilling, and the sunscreen imparts a healthy radiance without needing additional primer. According to the reviewer, it sets a high benchmark for future SPFs.
Customer Reviews and Comparisons
Over 2,000 bottles were purchased on Amazon in the past month alone. One customer 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."
Another shared: "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."
However, those with oily skin may find the dewy finish less suitable. 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."
A fourth five-star review read: "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."
Comparison with Other SPFs
The reviewer also compared the Haruharu Wonder to the No7 Future Renew UV Defence Shield SPF 50 (50ml, £24.95) and Supergoop!'s Unseen Sunscreen (now SPF50). The No7 offers anti-ageing peptide technology and hyaluronic acid, while Supergoop! provides a transparent, matte finish. For those preferring a mineral sunscreen, the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Pure Mineral Relief Daily Sunscreen SPF50+/PA++++ is available at £20 from ASOS.
Affordable Sun Protection
At just over £14 while on offer, the Haruharu Wonder SPF presents an affordable means of enhancing everyday sun protection. The deal can be explored on Amazon.
