Low-pH cleansing foam for oily T-zones: HEEDA Charcoal Foam
In short
I used HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Hydrating Cleansing Foam morning and night on my oily-yet-dehydrated skin in Korea. It left my T-zone feeling clean without an overly tight finish, though this is based on my own experience.

How did it feel on oily-yet-dehydrated skin?
Because it is a charcoal cleansing foam, I was worried it would leave a squeaky-clean finish, but it felt gentler and more moisturizing than I expected. My T-zone tends to develop oil and sebum, and it felt refreshed and thoroughly cleansed afterward without excessive tightness.
What are the foam and scent like?
When squeezed from the tube, it came out as a grayish-black formula. With a little water, it produced a rich foam that felt like it softly wrapped around my skin. The scent was subtle rather than overpowering.
Can I use it on days when I wear only sunscreen?
Recently, I have often gone out wearing only tone-up sunscreen, and when I returned home, I cleansed with this product alone. According to the original product information, it is described as able to cleanse sunscreen, so I used it to cut down on double cleansing.
How did I use it?
Morning and night, I took an appropriate amount, added water and worked it into a full lather. I gently massaged my whole face and rinsed with lukewarm water. Because it lathered well, a small amount was enough for me.
What did I like, and who might it suit?
When the weather gets cold, my skin tends to feel tight if I do not apply skincare immediately after cleansing, but this left a moisturized feeling afterward. If you have oily-yet-dehydrated skin and want both a refreshed feeling after washing away oil and a less-tight finish, my experience may be useful to consider.
