How did it feel on sensitive combination skin?
I have sensitive combination skin, with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks. I tend to choose skincare carefully, but I am already using my second jar of this product.
The texture was closer to a soft balm. It melted with my body heat on contact, making it easy to massage over my skin, and I did not feel that it was irritating or caused breakouts while using it.
What were the packaging and texture like?
It came in neat black-toned packaging. Inside, there was a spatula and an additional clear inner lid, which I felt helped reduce contamination during use.
Because the formula melted easily with water or body heat, I stored it with the clear inner lid on. The balm contained fine charcoal powder.
How did I cleanse with it?
Once applied to my skin and gently massaged, it quickly melted into an oil. I liked that I did not need to rub for a long time.
I usually wet my hands, emulsified it until it turned white, then rinsed it off. When I wore color makeup, I used it by massaging after emulsifying it thoroughly. Even when I wiped it off with a tissue as a test, it felt relatively clean.
How did my skin feel after cleansing?
After use, my skin felt smooth and soft without a residue-like feeling. There was little tightness after cleansing, and when I cleansed at night, I felt that my skin was moisturized and my makeup applied a little better the next day.
It worked well as a daily cleansing balm during dry seasons. Skin reactions vary, though, so if you have sensitive skin, it is best to use it while monitoring your skin's condition.
