Cleansing balm for dry sensitive skin: HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal

How did it feel on dry, sensitive skin?

My skin is dry and sensitive, and I tend to get redness when it is irritated. The thick balm melted with my body heat when it touched my hands and turned oil-like; it was easy to massage smoothly over my face. The scent also felt subtle to me.

How did it remove makeup?

After applying it over my whole face and massaging for about 30 seconds, my foundation, tint, and waterproof mascara seemed to melt away. I paid a little more attention to the area around my nose, and I also felt that my blackheads looked more tidied up.

When it met water and emulsified, it turned into something like a fine foam. After rinsing, it left a fresh finish without a slippery residue.

Did it remove waterproof eyeliner too?

I drew waterproof eyeliner on the back of my hand, applied the cleansing balm, and rubbed gently for about 20 seconds. In my test, the eyeliner melted away, and after rinsing with water and wiping with a cotton pad, I could barely feel any residue.

Did my skin feel tight after washing?

What I liked most was that my skin felt less tight immediately after washing. I usually apply toner right away, but after using this product, my skin still felt moisturized, so I did not feel I needed to rush my skincare. However, this is only my personal experience on my own skin.

Who might it suit?

• People with dry skin who are concerned about facial tightness after washing
• People with sensitive skin who worry about irritation after cleansing
• Those who want makeup removal and sebum care together
• Those looking for a balm cleanser that melts smoothly

For me, it felt well balanced between cleansing and a moisturized finish after washing. I plan to keep using it in my winter cleansing routine.
