Cleansing balm for sensitive, dehydrated skin: HEEDA Jirisan

What kind of product is HEEDA Jirisan Moisturizing Cleansing Balm?

This is HEEDA's 100ml charcoal cleansing balm. It comes in a black round container in balm form, with a spatula tucked into the top of the lid.

The brand states that it contains Jirisan charcoal and 10,000ppm of charcoal, with a 100% vegan recipe. The product description mentions ingredient characteristics that may help absorb impurities and care for pores and blackheads.

How much did I use depending on my makeup?

For the first use, I twisted open the lid and removed the protective film. It recommends about one-third of the spatula for light makeup and about one-half for heavy or thick makeup.

Since I tend to wear light daily makeup, one-half felt like quite a lot to me. I thought it would be best to adjust the amount according to whether you are wearing makeup and how much you have on.

What were the texture and feel like while cleansing?

On my skin, it changed from a balm to an oil and then into a milk texture. I massaged it in for about 30 seconds, rinsed with water, then lightly finished by rinsing with a gentle cleansing foam.

After one use, I—someone with dehydrated skin and atopic skin—felt moisturized after cleansing, and my skin seemed bouncier overall. This is simply my personal impression after one use.
