Low-pH foam cleanser for dehydrated oily skin: HEEDA 150ml

What worried me about cleansing foam for dehydrated oily skin?

When a cleanser left a strong squeaky-clean feeling, my skin quickly became dry and tight. On the other hand, products that felt too gentle left me disappointed because it seemed as though oil around my nose and chin remained. Since my skin felt more sensitive after pregnancy, I was also more cautious when trying new products.

What is the foam like with HEEDA Moisturizing Charcoal Hydration Cleansing Foam?

Because it contains charcoal, I expected rough particles, but although I could see the black color, the particles felt fine. After wetting it and working up a sufficient lather in my hands first, it made soft, rich foam that seemed to create a cushion between my skin and hands.

Was it comfortable to wash oil-prone areas?

After lathering it up, I slowly massaged around my nose, chin, and forehead first. I did not feel rough grains or irritation when rubbing my face, and the fine foam made it easy to cleanse every area. After paying particular attention to the sides of my nose, I felt a refreshing clean sensation, as if even the area around my pores had been tidied up.

How did my skin feel after cleansing?

Right after cleansing, I did not notice much slippery or leftover residue. At the same time, my skin felt less stripped, and even after patting away water with a towel, it did not feel uncomfortably tight. The product information says it contains patented Aqua Ceramide and seven types of hyaluronic acid, which matched the moisturized finish I experienced.

Can it be used for both morning cleansing and a second evening cleanse?

In the morning, I used just this foam cleanser to lightly wash away the oiliness and stale feeling that had built up overnight. In the evening, I used it as a second cleanse after a first cleanse with makeup remover or cleansing balm; even after thoroughly massaging it in, it felt comfortable with little stiffness or tightness.

Who might like this finish?

If you have dehydrated oily skin and are concerned about both dryness and oil after cleansing, it may be worth considering. I did not experience an irritating sensation while using it on skin that had become more sensitive after pregnancy, though skin reactions can vary. On the other hand, if you prefer a completely squeaky-clean feeling after washing, its moisturized finish may feel different to you.
