Cleansing balm for sensitive oily skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

How did it feel on oily-dehydrated, sensitive skin?

Because my sensitive skin lacks moisture but produces a lot of sebum, I was always concerned about becoming dry after sebum cleansing. This product melted well even with the warmth of my hands, so it was easy to spread over my skin, and in my case I could use it without feeling like I developed bumps or that my skin flared up.

After cleansing, I had less of the severe dryness that makes skin feel as though it is cracking. Still, even when my skin felt moisturized, I immediately replenished hydration with a moisturizing cream afterward.

Do blackheads and whiteheads change right away?

Rather than my sebum disappearing completely after one use, it felt as though surface sebum was cleared away while blackheads and whiteheads were managed gradually. When I compared before and after from a distance, my skin looked slightly clearer and some sebum appeared to have melted away.

Once or twice a week was suitable for my very dry, sensitive skin. I thought people with very oily skin might be able to use it more often, but that is the writer's personal judgment.

What about the price and overall verdict?

The price as written by the tester was ₩19,800, and the writer noted that it could be purchased for less with a Gmarket coupon. I was satisfied with how well it melted with the warmth of my hands and that my skin was not excessively dry afterward, but I felt that deeper sebum needs to be assessed through continued use.

Overall verdict: ★★★☆
