How did it feel when dryness was a concern?
As I have gotten older and after giving birth, my skin seems to have become increasingly dry, so I have started choosing cleansing products more carefully. With just any product, my skin can feel tight after washing, so I began looking for something with a hydrated feel.
HEEDA's cleansing balm applied smoothly and was easy to massage in. It also felt hydrating after cleansing, so it was easy to use every day.
What are the texture and included items like?
When I opened the container, there was a dedicated spatula inside. A balm in a cream jar can be awkward to scoop out, but the spatula made it easy to take the amount I wanted and use it more hygienically.
Perhaps because it contains charcoal, the formula was black. I expected it to be firm at first, but it was actually easy to scoop up. The spatula could be stored near the lid.
How did I use it?
Before cleansing, I spread it over my dry face and massaged gently. I rolled it more thoroughly over areas where sebum or blackheads concerned me, then dampened my hands with a little water and massaged for about 30 seconds before rinsing several times with lukewarm water.
How did it feel after removing makeup?
When I used it to remove makeup, it cleansed fairly well and left me feeling refreshed. I especially liked that it still felt hydrating after washing my face.
The original product information states that the fine pores of true charcoal draw in and wash away sebum, impurities, and fine dust. It also states that it contains moisturizing ingredients including saccharide hydrolysate, green tea water, jojoba seed oil, and squalane.
