My pores tend to be large and I get sebum easily, so on heavy-makeup days I used an oil cleanser to melt away my makeup and sebum. But double cleansing with a foam cleanser afterward felt like a hassle, so I tried the HEEDA cleansing balm.
Was it easy to use without double cleansing?
It was introduced as a product containing naturally derived ingredients and charcoal. You spread it over the skin, roll it in, and rinse it off with water, so it felt simple that I did not need to use cleansing foam again afterward.
What were the texture and application like?
It came in black packaging, with a spatula attached to the lid. After twisting open the lid and removing the inner plastic cover, the product inside had a black, matte texture. It scooped out smoothly with the spatula, too.
I applied it to my oil-prone T-zone and rolled it in slowly. The more I rolled, the lighter the black formula became, turning charcoal gray. It had a subtle scent and a soft feel, and I felt almost no skin irritation.
Did my skin feel tight after rolling my T-zone?
After rolling for about 2–3 minutes, I rinsed thoroughly with lukewarm water. For me, my pores looked emptied out as though the blackheads had melted away, and I did not feel facial tightness or inner dryness after cleansing. It left my combination-dehydrated skin with a moist finish.
