Charcoal cleansing balm for blackheads: HEEDA Jirisan, 1-week test
In short
I tested HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm for about a week on my combination, sensitive skin. It did not erase blackheads immediately, but sebum around my nose looked less noticeable and my skin felt less tight after cleansing.

Why did I try a cleansing balm for blackheads?
When my skin felt stinging and I took a break from foundation, the blackheads and uneven texture on my nose looked more noticeable. I also tried methods using a steam towel and petroleum jelly, but I did not notice a change, so I tried this cleansing balm to manage blackheads and sebum.
What were the texture and cleansing process like?
It was a firm balm when I first scooped it out, but it melted like an oil against my skin’s warmth. I applied it to my dry face as if massaging it in, focusing on the area around my nose and my chin. When I added water, it emulsified into a milky texture and rinsed away; afterward, it felt to me as though there was little residue and my skin felt refreshed.
I thought using the included spoon to scoop it out would help keep it hygienic.
How much did my blackheads and sebum appear to change?
There was no dramatic change where all the sebum disappeared after the first use. Still, after using it consistently for about two days, the sebum in my pores looked less prominent, and after about a week, my blackheads also seemed less noticeable than before. The area around my nose felt soft right after use.
Was it irritating for combination, sensitive skin?
I have combination, sensitive skin, and my skin felt less tight after use; I did not develop any breakouts while using it. Skin reactions vary by person, so if you have sensitive skin, I think it is better to test it first. I also plan to be careful when using it alongside exfoliating products, as that could be irritating.
Who might it suit?
- Those concerned about managing blackheads and sebum around the nose
- Those looking for a cleansing texture that melts from a balm into an oil
- Those who want a cleansing experience with less tightness afterward
Rather than expecting an immediate change, I felt it was worth trying for continued use while watching the condition of the area around my nose. I would consider repurchasing it.
