Dry combination skin cleansing balm: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

Which cleansing balm did I try when dryness was bothering me?

Lately, my skin has felt tight and flaky after washing, so I tried HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm while looking for something that would remove makeup gently while leaving my skin moisturized. It was presented as containing Jirisan charcoal and naturally derived moisturizing ingredients.

What were the texture and scent like?

The packaging has a white base with black accents, and the balm felt slightly firm when I first scooped it out. Once it touched my skin, it melted with body heat and spread smoothly like an oil. The scent was not strongly artificial; it was just enough to bring charcoal and herbs to mind.

How well did it remove makeup?

I applied foundation, lip tint, and eyeliner to the back of my hand, then applied the balm and rolled it in gently. The color makeup melted away, and the lip tint did not leave much residue either. My eyes did not sting, and it did not feel slippery while I used it.

How did my skin feel after washing?

In my experience, my skin did not feel severely tight after washing, and it seemed as though a light layer of moisture remained even after towel-drying. I also felt less of an urgent need to reach for toner immediately after cleansing.

Were there any changes after three days?

From the third day, flakes around my pores looked less noticeable on my combination, dry-leaning skin, and I barely felt any tightness after cleansing. Using a smaller amount in the morning felt less heavy, and I felt that my makeup applied relatively well afterward.

How did I use it?

• I scooped out an appropriate amount onto dry hands and spread it over my whole face.
• I rolled it in gently with my fingertips for 10–20 seconds.
• After the makeup had melted, I rinsed lightly with lukewarm water.
• I rubbed a little more around the sides of my nose, as if massaging the area.

Who might it suit?

It may be worth considering for people concerned about dryness and tightness after washing, or for those who want to remove makeup with a balm texture. However, its effects on sebum or blackhead care may vary depending on skin condition.

For me, the advantages were that the cleansing process did not feel very irritating and that my skin retained a moisturized feeling afterward. Still, this record reflects only my personal experience using it for three days.
