Cleansing balm for dry-feeling skin, 3-day test: HEEDA

How did it feel on skin concerned with inner dryness and sebum?

My skin gets sebum buildup periodically and has severe inner dryness. In summer, my face also feels hot after swimming and as if sweat is collecting in my pores, so I had been looking for something that would leave less tightness after cleansing.

I had tried cleansing oil, cream, water, and foam, but this was my first cleansing balm. HEEDA Cleansing Balm has a solid texture, but after rolling it with the warmth of my hands for about 30 seconds, it melted softly and was easy to work over the skin.

How much color makeup did it remove?

I tested it after applying lipstick, eyeliner, eyebrow makeup, and mascara. Even a small amount softened as it met my body heat, and I could roll it over my skin without an oily, heavy, or sticky feeling.

The lipstick and eyebrow makeup came off relatively quickly. For waterproof mascara and eyeliner, I rolled it thoroughly for about 30 seconds before rinsing with lukewarm water; on days when I wore waterproof products, it seemed like double cleansing would be necessary.

How did cleansing feel after 3 days of use?

Over the 3 days, on days when I wore only sunscreen, I could wash my face without that tight feeling deep in my skin afterward. My skin still felt moisturized after rinsing, so it seemed like I would not have to rush straight into skincare.

The fragrance-free, moisturizing yet fresh cleansing feel suited me well. Still, it was difficult to judge any effect on blackheads and sebum management from such a short period of use.

Was the case easy to use?

The matte black case was a size that fit in one hand, and it had a built-in spatula inside the lid. I especially found the one-touch closure, which closes with a press instead of twisting the lid, convenient.
