Dry-skin cleansing balm, tested twice: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

What skin concern did I use HEEDA cleansing balm for?

I first bought it because I am usually concerned about inner dryness and saw that it was said to leave less tightness after cleansing. This time, I tried it again after receiving the product, which I was already using in my second jar.

How did I use it, and what was the texture like?

I applied the balm to a dry face, rolled it for about 1–2 minutes, and rinsed it off with lukewarm water. It was firm at first but quickly melted with body heat, and it came with a spatula, so I did not need to scoop it out with wet hands.

Rather than applying too much at once, I used an appropriate amount. I cleansed while watching the black balm turn gray as I rolled it over my skin.

How well did it remove makeup, and how did it feel afterward?

I tested it on a day when I wore sunscreen, foundation, matte lip color, and eyebrow makeup. It removed this makeup without difficulty, and even before applying skincare immediately after cleansing, I felt little tightness and residue.

When blackheads and whiteheads around my nose, between my eyebrows, and on my chin bothered me, I rolled it in thoroughly for an additional 2–3 minutes. In my experience, my skin looked clean immediately after use.

Who did it work well for?

It worked well when my skin felt rough in winter, when a strong cleansing feel felt burdensome, or when I preferred gently rolling a balm cleanser over my skin. However, the writer did not directly test waterproof makeup removal or whether double cleansing is needed, so it is best to check based on your own makeup and skin condition.
