Cleansing duo for oily combination skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

How did I use it on makeup days?

On makeup days, I cleansed first with the cleansing balm and finished with the foam cleanser. The balm had a creamy texture that spread as though it were melting at skin temperature; I added water to emulsify it, then rinsed it off.

I also tested it in the same order after applying mascara, lip tint, and concealer to my arm. After checking the remaining stained areas following the balm cleanse, I cleansed a second time with the foam cleanser; my skin felt fresh without feeling tight.

Did I use only the foam cleanser on days without color makeup?

On days when I did not wear color makeup, I used only the foam cleanser. It lathered well without feeling excessive, making it easy to cleanse thoroughly, and it left a moisturized finish afterward.

The product information highlights a mildly acidic formula and its ability to cleanse sunscreen, so I used it as my daily cleansing routine on summer days when I wore sunscreen.

What changes did I notice on combination-oily skin?

I have combination-oily skin, with a very oily T-zone and frequent small whiteheads. With continued use, my skin texture felt a little softer, and the whiteheads and rough areas around my nose seemed to gradually look more cleared up.

Since I am raising a child, I tend to keep my makeup simple, but I still wanted to be thorough with cleansing and basic skincare. I have now settled into a routine of using the cleansing balm and foam cleanser together as a set.
