In short
I tried HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal Moisture Cleansing Balm for removing makeup on my dry skin in Korea. The black balm melted smoothly with body heat, and after emulsifying and rinsing, it felt moisturizing rather than tight.

What I look for in a cleansing balm for dry skin
My skin tends to be dry, so I pay as much attention to whether it leaves severe tightness after cleansing as I do to cleansing power. On days when I wear heavier makeup, cleansing several times can leave my skin feeling tight right afterward, so I prefer products that massage in smoothly and leave a moisturizing feel.
How did the black balm texture melt?
When I opened HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal Moisture Cleansing Balm, the black balm texture was the first thing I noticed. I expected it to feel firm or stiff, but when I took an appropriate amount onto my dry face and slowly massaged it with my fingers, it melted smoothly with my body heat.
It massaged on softly without feeling like it was dragging my skin, which was comfortable for me because I find prolonged rubbing burdensome. I used it like a gentle massage, focusing on areas with makeup.
How did I emulsify it?
After massaging it in thoroughly, I did not rinse immediately. I dampened my fingertips with a little water and emulsified it. As I added water little by little and continued massaging, I could see the balm texture change, then rinsed with lukewarm water after emulsifying.
For areas where I was concerned about residue, such as around my nose and chin, I lightly massaged several times rather than applying pressure with my hands. Instead of using a large amount from the start, I found it comfortable to apply an appropriate amount across my face and massage a little more carefully over heavier makeup.
How did my skin feel after cleansing?
After cleansing, it left a moisturizing feel rather than an overly squeaky-clean feeling that makes my skin feel dry. The feel can vary by skin type, but it suited me as someone with dry skin who is concerned about tightness after cleansing.
The distinctive black appearance was memorable, but I remembered even more how softly it melted and massaged over my skin. It may be useful to consider if dryness after cleansing concerns you.
