Charcoal cleansing foam for tight skin: HEEDA Jirisan

How did it feel when post-wash tightness was a concern?

I used this product because I was concerned about tightness after cleansing and a lingering feeling after evening makeup. It was described as containing true charcoal extract, seven-layer hyaluronic acid, Aqua Ceramide, and plant-derived moisturizing ingredients.

The tube has a white base with gray accents, so it looked neat in my bathroom. It was easy to squeeze with one hand and easy to control the amount I used.

How was the foam and cleansing of light makeup?

When I rubbed it with a little water on my palms, fine, dense foam formed quickly. As I massaged it in, I could also see the charcoal-colored foam becoming lighter.

When I used it in the evening, my skin surface felt light and there seemed to be less makeup residue. I cleansed light foundation, tone-up cream, and sunscreen with this product alone. On days when I wore heavier makeup, I used it as a second cleanse after a cleansing balm.

How did my skin feel after cleansing?

After cleansing, there was not much of a squeaky-clean or slippery feeling. Once I dried off the water, my skin felt soft and moisturized, and it seemed less tight even if I did not apply toner right away.

I tried it both morning and evening, and the sebum and oil around my nose seemed to spread less than they did in the morning. I also did not feel stinging when I used it near my eye area. However, this is my personal experience.

What cleansing routine did it suit?

It suited days when I wanted a clean feeling while reducing post-wash tightness. I found it easy enough to use for both evening cleansing after light base makeup and morning cleansing.
