Cleansing balm makeup removal: HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal

How does the texture change?

When I opened the lid, there was an inner lid and a spatula inside. At first it looked like a firm solid balm, but it scooped out smoothly with the spatula.

Once I applied it to my face and massaged it with my hands, it melted with my skin temperature and turned into an oil. When I massaged again with wet hands, it emulsified into a milky texture; I also saw the solid, oil, and emulsified stages on the back of my hand.

How did it remove sunscreen and color makeup?

On days when I did not wear makeup and applied only sunscreen, I put the product on my face, massaged it, added water to emulsify it, and then washed my face.

I used it the same way on days when I wore color makeup. Within the range I tested, color makeup and eyeliner seemed to come off cleanly after massaging and emulsifying.

How did my skin feel after washing?

With moisturizing cleansing products, I had sometimes found the cleansing power lacking or noticed a slippery residue. This product felt moisturizing to me after washing without inner tightness, and the feeling that it had not washed off fully was not strong.

The package stood out for its paper-like texture and ink-brush-style design, and the inside of the box also had a landscape illustration resembling an ink wash painting. After use, I stored the spatula fitted into the clear inner lid.
