Cleansing balm for sensitive dry skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

What kind of cleansing was I looking for for sensitive, dry skin?

I have sensitive skin with redness, and as I have gotten older, my skin has felt dry. Cleansing water applied with a cotton pad felt irritating on days when my redness was severe, and powder formulas felt similar. Cleansing oils or balm types therefore suited me better.

How did the HEEDA cleansing balm feel and massage onto the skin?

I used it on days when I wore contour makeup, blush, eyeliner, eyebrow makeup, and eyebrow mascara. It was fairly firm when scooped from the container, but once I applied it to my face and massaged it in with my hands, it softened smoothly like a nourishing cream.

I also tried it around my eyes, and I did not find it stinging or drying. Skin reactions can vary, however. The dedicated spatula was inside the container.

How did it emulsify and feel after cleansing?

It was the type that emulsifies like a cleansing oil when it meets water. I mainly emulsified it thoroughly before rinsing with water. On the day I filmed, I wiped it away with a sponge, and my makeup still came off cleanly; I also felt that some moisture remained after cleansing.

What information is provided about ingredients and pores?

According to the original post, it contains olive squalane, saccharide hydrolysate, green tea water, and jojoba seed oil. The brand also provides information on 10,000 ppm of fine charcoal particles and human application test results related to pores and blackheads.

I wanted to keep using it for winter cleansing. I planned to bring just this one for makeup removal on an upcoming trip, and felt that it could also work for morning cleansing if I adjusted the amount.
