Charcoal cleansing foam for oily-dehydrated sensitive skin: HEEDA

How did it feel on oily-dehydrated, sensitive skin?

My skin becomes easily sensitive when it gets dry. My forehead and nose get oily, while my cheeks tend to be dry. After using it for several days, I did not feel strongly irritated even on days when my skin was not in good condition, and I felt less heat or tightness in my face after cleansing.

Although the foam is black, it did not feel heavy or overly fluffy; it felt soft as it wrapped around my face. The scent was not strong either, so it felt less burdensome to use every day.

Was it okay to use morning and night?

I sometimes use separate cleansers for morning and evening, but this product worked fine at both times. I washed lightly in the morning, and in the evening, even on days when I used sunscreen, it felt like it finished fresh without residue.

Because it is mildly acidic, I thought its cleansing power might be weak, but after rubbing it in as if massaging, I felt it washed cleanly. On days when I could not be bothered, I cleansed with this and went straight into skincare, and I did not develop any particular breakouts while using it.

How did oil control and post-cleansing tightness feel?

It felt like the oil around my nose and on my forehead was cleared to some extent, without leaving even my cheeks excessively squeaky-clean. I did not have the post-cleansing tightness I worry about most, and areas that had felt subtly rough also felt smoother.

In dry seasons, I look for products that leave my skin feeling moisturized after cleansing. This one felt fresh without oiliness, yet as though it left behind a moisturizing layer. However, skin reactions and the cleansing feel can vary from person to person.
