Dry-skin cleansing balm: HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal

How did it feel on dry skin in winter?

I used it when cold air and heating left my skin feeling tight and dry. It was small enough to fit in one hand, and seemed easy enough to keep on a bathroom shelf or pack for travel.

How does the texture melt and spread?

It felt slightly firm when I scooped it out with the spatula, but melted softly once applied to my skin. I first tried it on dry skin with only base makeup on; it spread smoothly and silkily, and was easy to massage around the sides of my nose and down to my chin.

Did it remove makeup well?

I massaged it until my base makeup came off. I was satisfied because it felt as though it removed not only my base makeup but also color makeup such as eyeliner and lip makeup, without residue or settling into creases.

Did my skin feel less tight after washing?

After washing, my skin felt thoroughly cleansed without residue in my pores, with a moisturized and fresh finish rather than an immediate dry feeling. Skin texture that had looked more noticeable because of dryness also seemed smoother after cleansing.

How did I use it in a double-cleansing routine?

I used the HEEDA cleansing balm as my first cleanse, then followed with HEEDA hydrating cleansing foam for a second cleanse. This combination felt moisturizing without dryness, so it has become part of my current cleansing routine.
