HEEDA Even & Glow Serum is a facial serum I used in my morning and evening skincare routine in Korea. Its clear, slightly viscous formula spread lightly and left less lingering surface slip, though skincare feel can vary by skin type and daily condition.

Cleansing foam for sunscreen makeup: HEEDA Charcoal Hydrating

I tested HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Hydrating Cleansing Foam in Korea on combination-dehydrated, sensitive skin with foundation-free sunscreen makeup. Its dense foam felt comfortable, especially with a foam net, and my skin felt less tight for a while after washing, though these results were personal to my skin.

Cleansing foam for dry winter skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Hydrating Cleansing Foam is a low-pH facial cleanser I tried for winter skin that feels tight and stings when it lacks moisture. It lathered softly with a small amount and removed oil and foundation-free sunscreen in a hand test, though I would double-cleanse on makeup days.

Cleansing balm for dehydrated oily skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

HEEDA Jirisan Hydrating Charcoal Cleansing Balm is a Korean cleansing balm tested by a writer with dehydrated oily skin. The writer used it on hand makeup and a bare face, noting a smooth, non-tight post-wash feel. Verdict: a soft cleansing balm that removed makeup fairly cleanly without leaving skin feeling dry.
