How did I double cleanse after heavy summer makeup?
In summer, when sweat makes makeup break down easily, I wanted to remove the layers I had reapplied thoroughly. Because cleansing oils do not suit my dehydrated oily skin well due to their slippery feel, I used the HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Duo Set, starting with the cleansing cream and following with the foam cleanser.
What were the cleansing cream's texture and feel like?
The all-black packaging felt neat. Although the cleansing cream looked firm at first, it spread softly when I scooped it out with the included spatula.
After applying it to my face, I massaged it until it felt like an oil against my body heat, then wiped it away with lukewarm water. The feel while rubbing it in was pleasant, and even after removing heavy makeup, I was not overly concerned that my face still felt insufficiently cleansed.
The brand says its fine charcoal powder helps absorb oil and impurities. The brand also provides figures on its sunscreen-cleansing effect, but I only assessed it through my own experience using it after heavy makeup.
Did my skin feel tight after finishing with the foam cleanser?
I used the foam cleanser after the cleansing cream. It had a soft texture and made a rich lather that felt as though it wrapped around my skin. I finished with a beauty-device cleanser, and it left me feeling freshly washed for the first time in a while.
In summer, I often wash several times because my skin does not feel fully clean, then end up feeling dry. This time, though, my skin did not feel severely tight afterward. My skin texture seemed to stay smooth, so this was a combination that suited me as someone looking for products to start double cleansing with.
Can sensitive skin use it?
The foam cleanser has a mildly acidic formula, and the brand says it was designed with sensitive skin in mind and provides clinical results related to skin irritation. However, skin reactions vary from person to person, so people with sensitive skin should consider their own skin condition before using it.
