How did the charcoal cleansing balm feel on dehydrated oily skin?


On days when I was outdoors or constantly on the move, oil would build up on my face quickly, and if I could not cleanse right away, blackheads would start bothering me. My skin feels dry too, but my T-zone gets oily, so I decided to try a cleansing balm for my dehydrated oily skin.


HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm comes in a 100ml size. After using cleansing foam or cleansing water, I had sometimes felt as though moisture disappeared quickly, so I was curious about how a balm would feel.

How did I use it?


I scooped out an appropriate amount with my fingers or the included spatula and gently massaged it over my whole face. Then I rinsed it off with lukewarm water.


The spatula can be placed on the lid, which made it easy to scoop out only what I needed. I used it before or after going out or exercising, and for evening cleansing.

How did it feel after cleansing?


When I used it, my skin did not feel oily afterward, and it did not feel especially tight either. So lately, I have been using it as part of my evening cleansing routine.


Because blackheads and whiteheads had been on my mind, I wanted to keep using it consistently. How it feels for sebum and pore care can vary depending on skin condition and length of use.
