Low-pH cleansing foam for sensitive skin: HEEDA Charcoal Foam

When the weather left my skin feeling especially tight after cleansing, I tried HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Hydrating Cleansing Foam, hoping for both a gentle feel and effective cleansing.

What were the texture and lather like?

It had a dense, black foam texture. The tube opening made it easy to dispense an appropriate amount, and it lathered softly in my palms. When I gently rubbed it over my wet face, the fine foam felt as though it was enveloping my skin.

The scent did not feel artificially strong, and the black-toned packaging looked neat on my bathroom shelf.

How did it feel after using it morning and night for a week?

I used it morning and night for about a week. After making enough lather, I rubbed it in like a massage for about 20 seconds; afterward, my skin felt moisturized and refreshed rather than squeaky-clean. I did not feel any irritation, even on my sensitive skin.

My skin tends to get shiny from sebum, but it felt smooth and moisturized after use. I use it for my morning cleanse and as a second cleanse.

Does it remove makeup and waterproof products?

I tested it by applying eyeshadow, eyebrow product, and waterproof eyeliner to the back of my hand. Most regular makeup came off, but traces of the waterproof eyeliner remained. The sunscreen I usually wear tended to come off lightly with this foam alone.

On days when I wore heavy makeup or waterproof products, it suited me better to remove them first with a dedicated remover before using this cleanser.
