Cleansing balm for sebum and texture: HEEDA Charcoal

In short

HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm is a Korean soft-balm cleanser with fine charcoal particles. I used it on dry skin for makeup and sebum cleansing, then added water and massaged until it emulsified white; the key was taking time with that emulsifying step before rinsing.

I gently massaged the cleansing balm along my skin texture. I first massaged until it melted like an oil with my body heat, then added a little water and massaged thoroughly until it emulsified white before rinsing with lukewarm water.

It was a soft-balm type that melted smoothly on contact with skin. The original description presents it for dissolving and removing sebum, impurities, and makeup residue from pores, and says it can also be used on heavier makeup such as under-eye makeup, mascara, and eyeliner.

For more thorough cleansing, the instructions recommend adding water and massaging sufficiently once it has turned white through emulsification. Rather than rushing, I completed the emulsifying step and then finished by rinsing with lukewarm water.
