Cleansing balm for oily-dehydrated skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

How did the texture change on oily-dehydrated skin?

I tried it as a cleansing balm to use before washing my face because I was concerned about pores and sebum in summer. At first, it was a black, solid balm, but as I rolled it over my face, I could feel it melt through gray into a clear, oily texture.

While rolling it on, some parts felt rough at my fingertips, like grains of sebum. It was also convenient to be able to gauge how much the balm had melted from its color change.

Was the spatula convenient to use?

For me, as someone who found it inconvenient to scoop out balm directly with my hands, the included spatula was useful. It made it easy to scoop an amount suited to my level of makeup, and using the spatula instead of my hands felt hygienic.

How did it feel after cleansing?

I found myself rolling over sebum more thoroughly than when melting it with other oils or balms. After cleansing, it left a hydrated feeling rather than a slippery residue, so it did not feel irritating.

What ingredients are listed?

According to the original labeling, it uses natural charcoal from Jirisan and lists 10,000 ppm of charcoal and 15 natural ingredients, including white rice flower, camellia oil, jojoba seed, and Japanese apricot flower. The product is for the face, and the manufacturer was listed as Nodinary.

Where can I buy it?

The writer says it can be purchased by searching for “HEEDA cleansing balm” on Naver.
