Blackhead cleansing balm, 1-week test: HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal

How was it for makeup removal over one week?

Concerned about summer oiliness and clogged pores, I looked for a cleansing balm that could handle both makeup removal and sebum care. During the week I used it, my skin did not become sensitive or red, and I am still using it.

What are the texture and feel like?

The product came with a spatula, making it easy to scoop out only what I needed. Its black-tinted sorbet texture melted softly against my skin’s warmth, and because it did not immediately run like an oil, it was easy to roll over my face after applying it.

How did I use it?

• I applied an appropriate amount to my dry face.
• I massaged my entire face with rolling motions for about 30 seconds.
• I rolled more carefully over areas where pores and blackheads concerned me.
• I added a small amount of water to emulsify it until white, then rinsed with lukewarm water.

Did it remove heavy makeup and sebum around the nose well?

I felt that it removed even heavy color makeup fairly easily. In particular, when I rolled it longer over areas such as my nose, where pores looked larger, and places with visible blackheads and whiteheads, I felt small bits of sebum being cleared away.

Did my skin feel tight after cleansing?

I had sometimes felt dryness after using products with strong cleansing power, but with this product, the residual oily feeling seemed reduced after washing while moisture seemed to remain. As someone who had often used peel-off charcoal packs, I found the gentle rolling method more comfortable.

What was convenient about it?

After trying cleansing oil, milk, and gel, I found that a balm texture suited me because it was easy to carry and use. This is a usage experience worth considering if you want to use one product for makeup removal and daily sebum care.
