Charcoal cleansing balm for visible blackheads: HEEDA Jirisan

How did I use the HEEDA cleansing balm?

It came in a 100ml lidded container with a spatula inside. I scooped out an appropriate amount and massaged it over my face for about 30 seconds. Once it melted with my body heat and turned oil-like, I added water to emulsify it, then rinsed several times.

What are the texture and ingredients like?

According to the original information, this is a cleansing balm made in Korea with Korean Jirisan true charcoal. The brand says it contains naturally derived ingredients including white rice flower, camellia oil, plum blossom, peony, rice bran, green tea, mugwort, and houttuynia cordata.

How did it feel when I was concerned about blackheads?

I used it during hot weather, when my blackheads looked more noticeable and were bothering me. I did not feel much sticky residue after massaging, and after washing, my skin felt as though it had been replenished with moisture. I also got the impression that my pores looked tighter and my skin looked brighter, but that is my personal experience.

Is an additional cleanse needed?

The original recommends lightly cleansing the skin once more with a cleanser after use. After using the cleansing balm, I thought rinsing thoroughly with water first and considering an additional cleanse as needed would suit me best.
