MoisturizingBetaine, Glycerin + 8 moreWorks
“Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner is a lightweight, serum-like Korean toner that delivers refreshing moisture while helping skin look smoother, plumper, and more radiant.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, glycerin.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Anti-agingHyaluronic acid, Beta-glucanNot delivered
“Fermented Black Rice and Hyaluronic Acid offer anti-aging and brightening effects, promoting a healthier and more radiant complexion.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - beta-glucan, hyaluronic acid - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
