Low-pH cleansing foam for dehydrated oily skin: HEEDA Charcoal Foam
In short
I used HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Hydrating Cleansing Foam as a second cleanse for dehydrated yet oily, sensitized skin. It left my skin feeling less tight and smoother around my nose and chin, though I used a cleansing balm first for heavier makeup.

How was it as a second cleanse for dehydrated oily skin?
After trying several cleansing products recently without finding one that suited me, there were even days when I skipped a second cleanse. After being happy with the HEEDA cleansing balm, I switched to this foam cleanser for my second cleanse.
Even after drying my face, my skin felt less severely tight. Since dryness after using foam cleansers had usually felt burdensome to me, this one left a moisturized feeling behind.
What were the foam and post-cleansing skin feel like?
The foam was fine and soft, without feeling slippery. I could cleanse with a creamy, gentle lather, and my skin felt smooth afterward.
Because it contains fine charcoal powder, I focused on areas where sebum and dead skin cells concerned me. The textured areas beside my nose and on my chin in particular felt smoother, which left me feeling refreshed.
Did the foam cleanser alone remove sunscreen and makeup?
I tend to wear sunscreen even on days when I do not go out, and I felt that the foam cleanser alone was enough for daily makeup and sunscreen. However, on days when I wore heavier makeup, I used the HEEDA cleansing balm first.
I was surprised that it generally removed point makeup well even when I tried removing it with the foam cleanser alone. I did not feel irritation while using it, and I reached for it on seasonal-transition days when I wanted to clear away sebum and dead skin cells while keeping a moisturized finish.
