Low-pH cleansing foam for dry skin: HEEDA charcoal cleanser
In short
HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Hydrating Cleansing Foam is a low-pH facial cleanser from Korea. I used it for face washing and a wrist makeup-removal test when my skin felt dry after using the heater; it made soft foam with a small amount and left less surface tightness after cleansing.

I received this product and tried it during a period when my skin seemed to feel tight even after simply washing my face following heater use.
How were the foam and makeup-removal feel?
I tested it after applying cushion foundation, eyeliner, and lip products to my wrist. Even a small amount produced enough foam; rather than a rich, voluminous foam, it was closer to the soft foam typical of a low-pH cleansing foam.
After adding water and rinsing, I felt that no base or point-makeup residue remained on my wrist. It did not feel irritating when I rubbed it in, and my skin still felt moisturized after rinsing.
Was there less tightness after washing my face?
Right after the wrist test, I also used it to wash my face. I did not feel much dryness while cleansing, and immediately after patting dry, my skin felt softly refreshed rather than tight on the surface.
I usually feel tightness shortly after washing my face, even before I apply cream, but after using this product, it seemed as though moisture remained on my skin. Perhaps because of the charcoal ingredient, I also personally felt that residue in my pores had been cleared away cleanly.
How was it as a daily cleanser on dry-feeling days?
The surface of the black tube felt like a material that did not become glossy even when wet, which made it suitable for keeping in the bathroom. It also looked small enough to fit in a travel pouch.
If you are looking for a cleanser that feels less tight after washing even on dry days, it seemed worth considering. However, figures from testing on sensitive skin, the function of each ingredient, and cleansing rates are product descriptions quoted in the original post, so it is best to check them against your own skin condition.
