Charcoal cleansing balm for makeup removal: HEEDA Jirisan

What are the texture and container of HEEDA cleansing balm like?

The product came in a round 100ml container. The opening was wide, and the spatula was stored as part of the inner lid, making it easy to scoop out without getting product under my nails.

The dark-colored balm felt like soft butter when scooped with the spatula. It looked somewhat grayish when applied to the skin, with a rich consistency that was easy to spread slowly.

How did I cleanse with it?

I applied an appropriate amount to my face and gently massaged it for about 30 seconds. Since it melts with body heat, I felt almost no irritation while massaging. I then added water, massaged once more as if giving my skin a massage, and rinsed it off.

I applied the cleansing balm to my skin, gently massaged it for about 30 seconds, and then washed my face.

After the first wash with water, I followed with cleansing foam for a second cleanse. I felt that the sunscreen and makeup I used came off cleanly through this process.

Did my skin feel tight after washing?

Because it also acts as a remover, I worried that my skin would feel dry afterward. In my case, though, it did not feel tight or dry. It seemed to leave a moisturized finish.

What changed for blackheads and oiliness?

I used it during hot weather, when oiliness and pores were on my mind. While using it, I felt that my blackheads and whiteheads looked improved, which I was happy with. This is the writer’s experience, however, and does not mean every skin type will have the same result.

The product description mentioned 10,000ppm of domestic Jirisan charcoal and 15 naturally derived ingredients. The moisture-improvement figures in the original post were presented as test results from the product description, so it is best to check the test conditions and individual skin responses separately before buying.
