Cleansing balm for dry skin: HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal

How tightening did my dry skin feel after cleansing?

Because I have combination-dry to dry skin, products that strip away moisture after cleansing tend not to suit me. After using this one, my face seemed to stay soft and moisturized, and it felt less tight than my usual cleansing products when I did not immediately apply toner or cream.

What were the texture and feel like?

In contrast to the bright, clean packaging, the balm itself was a deep charcoal color. I could use the included spatula to scoop out only what I needed, and the balm melted softly with the warmth of my hands, turning oil-like.

I applied an appropriate amount to my dry face, massaged it in, and rinsed with water. Even when removing daily makeup, waterproof mascara, and eyeliner, I felt almost no irritation around my eyes, and it generally rinsed away without a slippery residue.

How did my skin texture and post-makeup dryness feel?

Even on days when I did not exfoliate separately, my skin texture seemed more refined. The T-zone and area around my cheeks, which had become dry from makeup, felt soft and smooth, and I also got the impression of a glow after cleansing.

What did I find in the ingredients and product description?

The original product information mentions fine charcoal powder, squalane, and jojoba seed oil. The brand states clinical results of a 23.3% improvement in skin texture (unevenness) and an 84.4% improvement in the moisture barrier after one use, but these were not results I measured myself.

Who might it suit?

It seemed worth considering if you have dry skin, wear makeup daily, and are concerned about tightness after cleansing. However, skin reactions vary by person, so it is best to check the ingredients before use if you are sensitive to them.
