Charcoal cleansing balm for oily areas, tested: HEEDA

In short

HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm is a cleansing balm I used for about four months in Korea. On my dry face, the solid balm melted like oil as I massaged it over makeup and around my nose, leaving a moisturizing finish for me.

It looked like a solid balm, but it melted like oil when it touched my skin. I also liked the texture when scooping it out with the spatula. It came in a matte black container with a clear protective cap.

Before washing my face, I scooped out about a spoonful onto my dry face and rubbed it in. I do not usually wear heavy makeup, but I massaged it over my makeup and especially around my nose. As the product melted during use, my face looked somewhat darkened.

For me, it felt like it left a moisturizing finish after use. I massaged the oilier area around my nose a little longer, and I felt as though the sebum was melting away.

I bought it on Coupang and used about four containers of it. I wrote that one container tends to last me around a month. At the time of writing, I checked whether it came with a pore brush, but there was no brush when I bought mine.
