Charcoal cleansing balm for sensitive skin used nightly: HEEDA

With summer sweat and sebum on my mind, I switched to HEEDA's moisturizing charcoal cleansing balm. I liked how it felt like it was melting away blackheads and sebum.

What's inside the HEEDA charcoal cleansing balm, and how does the texture feel?

Inside was a black solid balm and a spatula. The packaging looked neat on a vanity table and seemed easy to carry while traveling or out and about.

According to the original post, the product contains charcoal, white rose of Sharon, and rice bran. I used it hoping for a finish that wouldn't feel dry after cleansing.

How to use the HEEDA balm: rolling and emulsifying step by step

• Scooped out the solid balm with the spatula.
• Applied it to my skin and rolled it around.
• The balm softened from body heat and turned oil-like.
• Added a little water to emulsify, then finished up.

The solid balm scooped up more softly than I expected. Adding water to emulsify turned it milky white, and the cleansing process felt simple.

Does it remove makeup without a remover, and how does skin feel after rinsing?

Normally my makeup doesn't come off well without a remover, so I usually double-cleanse. This time, even without a remover, I felt like my makeup came off cleanly.

Using it every evening, my skin felt clean and moisturized. Even on my sensitive-leaning skin, it felt gentle with no irritation, and on hot, humid days I noticed less of that tight feeling after washing.
