The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Serum is the more budget-friendly option, while the other may differ on texture, finish and supporting ingredients.

Are the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Serum dupes for each other?
They share 66% active-ingredient overlap based on published INCI lists, so one can stand in for the other on the actives that matter — chiefly Hyaluronic Acid. A dupe matches the hero actives, not the full sensory experience, so expect differences in texture, fragrance and exact concentrations.
Can I use the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Serum together?
They both fill the serum slot in a routine, so you'd normally pick one rather than layer both. If you want to use both, treat one as your daytime option and the other for evening, and patch-test when introducing anything new.
