Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Soft Cream vs La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+
Neither moisturiser relies on a targeted treatment active; both are about comfort and skin support. They share Panthenol, so texture, price and the rest of the formula decide it.
A lightweight fermented black rice moisturiser with a low-pH, fragrance-free formula. Comfortable everyday hydration with an antioxidant slant; suits sensitive and combination skin.
A multipurpose repair balm with panthenol (5%), madecassoside and shea butter. A cult barrier-rescue product for irritated, flaking or post-procedure skin — rich and occlusive, so better as a targeted balm than an everyday face lotion for oily skin.
Which should you choose?

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ adds Madecassoside and Shea Butter.
