Cleansing balm for dry combination skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

How did it feel on dry combination skin?

My skin is combination skin that lacks moisture but gets oily, and my U-zone tends to be dry. I sometimes get breakouts around my chin, and because my skin is thin, I pay attention to irritation and post-wash tightness when choosing cleansing products.

I usually wear mineral sunscreen, cushion foundation, eyeliner, and eye shadow. On this day, I tried cleansing after applying mineral sunscreen. Once I put it on my face and massaged it in, it quickly melted with body heat and was easy to rub in gently. My skin usually feels tight even after simply patting off water, but after using this product, it felt moisturized.

Was the container and texture easy to use?

The jar contained a spoon and an inner lid. It was easy to scoop out only the amount I needed, and I thought the extra inner lid would help reduce dust getting inside. The one-touch lid was easy to open and close even with damp hands.

The balm itself was black and scooped out softly with the spoon. I have used oil, milk, and water types too, but I found a balm type, where I can take out the amount I need, more convenient.

How did it finish after emulsifying and rinsing?

When I added water to emulsify it, the product turned gray. I massaged once more and then rinsed it off. After removing sunscreen, there was little feeling of residue left behind, and my skin did not feel slippery after washing. I am conscious of texture around my nose and wanted something to use gently rather than a strong cleanser, so it felt like a comfortable, straightforward option for me.

If dryness concerns you during seasonal changes or winter and you are looking for a balm cleanser that leaves less tightness after washing, this may be a useful experience to consider.
