Cleansing balm for blackheads and texture: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

How did I use it for blackheads and uneven texture?

I was concerned about pores, blackheads, and uneven texture, and I previously double-cleansed with cleansing oil and a foam cleanser. I then switched to a cleansing balm, and after using it consistently for several months, I felt that my uneven texture was not getting worse and seemed to be decreasing, so I repurchased it.

What were the texture and cleansing steps like?

It is a black solid balm that I scooped out as needed with a spatula. It melted like an oil on contact with body heat, so controlling the amount and massaging it in was not difficult.

• I applied the cleansing balm to dry skin without wetting it first.
• I gently massaged it in first so that it would melt like an oil.
• I added a little water to emulsify it until white, then massaged areas where I was concerned about blackheads, pores, and uneven texture a second time.
• Finally, I used a foam cleanser for a second cleanse.

How did my blackheads and skin texture feel?

I used it mainly around my nose, where blackheads and pores concerned me. After one use, I felt that the blackheads and shine on my nose were less noticeable, and my skin felt soft rather than dry afterward.

After using it for several months, I felt that my blackheads had improved significantly compared with before. However, this is my personal experience, and I used it only on days when I wore makeup.

Who might it suit?

It may be useful as a reference for people concerned about pores, blackheads, and uneven texture who prefer to follow a cleansing balm with a foam cleanser. I was satisfied enough to repurchase it, but how it feels can vary depending on skin condition.
