Cleansing balm for dry skin, 1-week test: HEEDA Jirisan

Did this cleansing balm leave my skin feeling less tight after washing?

My skin usually feels tight after cleansing, so I used this expecting a moisturizing finish. My skin felt less tight immediately after washing, and I was pleased with the soft, comfortable feel it left behind.

How did it feel for removing makeup and sebum?

The balm texture melted smoothly with body heat, and I could remove even heavy makeup while massaging it in. After emulsifying it with lukewarm water and rinsing, I did not notice much slipperiness or residue.

Because it contains Jirisan charcoal, I focused on areas where I worry about sebum and blackheads around my nose. I massaged beside my nose and along my jawline more slowly for about 10 seconds.

How did bumpy texture change after more than a week of use?

The moisturizing finish stood out from the first use, and after using it consistently for more than a week, the blackheads and small bumpy texture around my nose seemed to gradually improve. This was my personal experience on dry skin.

How did I use it, and how did it finish?

I scooped some into my hand, gently massaged it over my face, then emulsified it with lukewarm water. It came with a spatula, which made it convenient to scoop out, and even on days when I did not do a second cleanse, it felt like little residue remained.

It has a subtle scent and did not feel very slippery, so using it daily did not feel especially burdensome. If you have dry skin and want cleansing power while worrying about post-wash dryness, this may be a useful texture to consider.
