Cleansing balm for heavy makeup: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

How did it feel when my skin felt sensitive and dry?

I chose this cleansing balm at a time when my skin had become sensitive and my usual foam cleanser felt stinging and tight. I chose it after seeing that it was a balm formula with jojoba oil and a vegan product.

How did the texture and packaging feel?

I expected a firm balm, but it felt softer than I thought, perhaps because it contains oils. I also found the structure that lets you store the spatula in the lid convenient. I thought the simple black packaging was unobtrusive enough to keep in the bathroom.

Did it remove heavy makeup in one go?

I tested it on a day when I had used lash adhesive and eyebrow products that were harder to remove than usual. After applying it to my face, I could massage it smoothly like an oil without drag, and I saw eyeliner around my eyes, lash adhesive, and eyebrow mascara melt away.

On the third day, I was surprised that the blackheads around my nose seemed reduced. Personally, it did not sting my eyes, and compared with times when white flakes appeared immediately after washing, my skin felt less tight until I went to do my skincare.

Which ingredients did the original post mention?

The original post listed charcoal powder, squalane, betaine, glycerin, ceramide NP, phytosphingosine, and hydrogenated lecithin as key ingredients. It also mentioned plant-derived ingredients including jojoba seed oil, argan kernel oil, camellia seed oil, moringa seed oil, soybean oil, coconut oil, and green tea, mugwort, houttuynia cordata, and rice bran.

Ingredients that suit a skin condition can vary from person to person. I plan to use it a little longer and share further impressions.
