Cleansing balm for dry sensitive skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

I have dehydrated dry skin as well as sensitive skin, so strong cleansing products can leave me with redness and tightness beneath the skin. The multiple-step process of removing makeup also felt burdensome, so I spent a long time looking for a cleansing product.

How did the texture and rolling feel?

HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm had a black, sherbet-like texture. Once it touched my skin, it melted with body heat and turned into an oil, and it rolled on my skin smoothly without feeling firm.

How did it remove makeup?

I applied my usual foundation, waterproof eyeliner, and tint to my wrist, then removed them with the product. I scooped out an appropriate amount and massaged it in, then added a little water to emulsify it; the makeup melted away, and even the tint that had left staining came off in my test.

I found it convenient to remove even point makeup in one step without a separate eye makeup remover. There was no strong feeling of residue after washing.

Did it leave skin feeling tight after washing?

I worried that a cleansing product might leave behind dryness, but my skin felt comfortable and hydrated after washing. I was especially satisfied that the tightness beneath the skin was not noticeable even before applying skincare.

Can it also be used for sebum around the nose?

I tried massaging it around my nose because sebum and whiteheads there concern me. While massaging, it felt as though the sebum was melting gently. However, I think any change in blackhead care is something to watch with continued use.

Who might like this type of cleansing balm?

• Those with dry or dehydrated skin who find post-wash tightness burdensome
• Those who prefer removing even point makeup in one step
• Those looking for a balm cleanser that melts smoothly
• Those who want to try a rolling cleanse for sebum concerns around the nose
