Charcoal cleansing balm for textured skin: HEEDA Jirisan

What skin condition did I use it on?

I have combination skin, with a lot of sebum in my T-zone and dry cheeks. I often get uneven texture and tiny bumps, and my skin can feel sensitive, so I had been looking for a product that would leave less dryness after cleansing.

How did the balm feel and finish after cleansing?

The black balm texture felt unfamiliar at first, but it melted in my hands and spread smoothly as I massaged it over my face. Because the formula contains fine charcoal powder, it felt as though it absorbed oil and impurities.

After one use, my skin texture felt noticeably smoother, and after using it every evening, I felt that the uneven texture seemed to decrease. I also liked that my skin felt moisturized rather than tight after cleansing.

Did it remove heavy makeup?

When I tested it by applying lipstick and eyeliner to my wrist, they came off after a few rounds of massaging. I also used it on days when I wore heavy makeup, and I felt my skin was fresh without residue after cleansing.

What did I find especially satisfying?

• The soft balm texture did not feel very irritating while massaging.
• My skin felt less dry and tight after cleansing.
• Using it every evening, I felt that my skin texture looked more even despite my concerns about sebum and uneven texture.
• I experienced a moist finish even after removing heavy makeup.

Who might it suit?

If you have combination skin like mine and are concerned about sebum, uneven texture, tiny bumps, and dryness after cleansing, this may be a useful texture reference. However, skin reactions vary from person to person, so if your skin is sensitive, it is better to test a small amount first.
