Low-pH cleansing foam for foundation removal: HEEDA Charcoal Foam

Can you finish cleansing with one foam cleanser on foundation days?

I wear sunscreen every day and tend to use foundation when I go out. After trying it myself, I still felt uneasy about finishing my cleanse with just one use of a foam cleanser on days I wore foundation. I remove my makeup first, then lather this product thoroughly with a foaming net and use it as my second cleanse.

Rather than rubbing hard to remove everything at once, finishing with abundant foam felt less harsh on my skin. Even when wearing heavier makeup, I felt it was better to think of this from the start as a second-cleanse product.

What are the texture and foam like with a foaming net?

The texture was slightly thick, like toothpaste. When I added water and rubbed it, it formed grayish foam. Using a foaming net created softer, more abundant foam than lathering it with my hands.

I put an appropriate amount on the foaming net, added water little by little to make foam, gently massaged my whole face, and rinsed with lukewarm water. Once I had enough foam, it was easier to cleanse with the foam rather than keep rubbing with my hands.

How did I use it in the morning and evening?

In the morning, when I was not wearing makeup, I used this alone for a light cleanse. In the evening, after wearing base makeup, I used it as a second cleanse after my first cleansing step. Dividing how I used it according to whether I had worn makeup that day made it versatile.

How did my skin feel after cleansing?

Because it is a charcoal cleansing foam, I expected my skin to feel very squeaky-clean or tight afterward. On my skin, though, it did not feel as stiff or intensely tight as I expected. Still, it may feel different depending on your skin condition and usual level of moisturization.

What I noticed while using it

• With a foaming net, it was easy to create abundant foam even with a small amount.
• I used it alone in the morning and as a second cleanse on evenings when I wore makeup.
• On days I wore foundation, I felt a separate first cleansing step was necessary.
