Want to remove blackheads and waterproof makeup at once?

My skin is dry, but I tend to have blackheads around my nose and chin. Since I use waterproof mascara, I prefer a simple cleansing routine with one product rather than going through several steps.


I tried HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm 100ml. The product mentions charcoal and camellia oil, and it suited my usual preference for cleansing products with charcoal ingredients.


What were the texture and application like?

I used about half a spoonful. When I applied it to the back of my hand, the texture was thick and rich, so it did not run.

After applying it to my face, I rolled it around for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. I especially focused on massaging the sides of my nose, where the blackheads bother me.

How did my skin feel afterward, and did it remove mascara?

Afterward, my skin felt refreshed, as if it had been cleansed well into the pores, without any tightness. It also removed the waterproof mascara I used in one go, which I was happy with.


I think blackheads need ongoing care rather than disappearing completely. I once irritated my nose by squeezing them too aggressively, so now I choose a simple cleansing routine that reduces irritation.

Removing makeup is more important than putting it on.

A pared-down cleansing routine works best for me. Rather than touching my skin too often, it felt more comfortable to wash away only what I needed, gently.
