Cleansing balm for dehydrated oily skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

What are the texture and feel of HEEDA Cleansing Balm like?

It was a black solid balm texture containing Jirisan charcoal. It had a slight shimmer that gave it an intriguing look, and at first it was firm and densely set.

It felt difficult to scoop out by hand, so I thought it would be better to use a spatula. Once it met body heat, the solid balm melted smoothly into an oil.

How did I use it?

• I scooped out an appropriate amount with a spatula and massaged it over my face for 30 seconds.
• Once the balm melted with body heat and turned oil-like, I added water to emulsify it.
• I then massaged carefully for another 30 seconds and rinsed several times with water.

The directions advised avoiding use on wounded areas and checking the instructions and precautions before use.

Did it remove makeup from the back of my hand well?

I tested it after applying foundation, pencil liner, and mascara to the back of my hand. As the balm melted into an oil, it gently removed the makeup there.

After rinsing with water, it left more of a moisturized feeling than the sticky residue typical of oils. After using it, my skin felt more moisturized than before rather than noticeably dry after cleansing.

How was it for dehydrated oily skin?

As someone with dehydrated oily skin, I was impressed by the moisturized finish after cleansing. Still, skin reactions can vary from person to person.
