Charcoal cleansing balm for oily skin: HEEDA Jirisan

What disappointed me about cleansing balms for oily skin?

Because I have oily skin, I did not use cleansing balms often. Some had felt overly oily or left a sticky feeling after cleansing, so they did not feel refreshing. Unlike that preconception, HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm left my skin feeling clean yet moisturized after washing.

What were the texture and emulsifying process like?

At first, it felt denser and firmer than a typical balm. But when I applied it to my skin and spread it with my fingers, it melted with body heat and became smooth like an oil.

When I added water and massaged lightly, the oil turned milky as it emulsified. After rinsing, I especially liked that it did not leave an oily feeling on my skin.

Did I use it to remove makeup too?

I do not wear makeup often, but on days I do, I tend to use everything from foundation to mascara. In my experience, even waterproof products came off when I cleansed with this product, so I needed separate eye remover less often.

Did my skin feel less tight after cleansing?

My skin usually feels tight after cleansing, but after using it, it felt less tight and more moisturized. I paid a little more attention to my T-zone while massaging, and it felt as though sebum and impurities had been cleared away.

The statement above is wording from a clinical result quoted in the original post. I cannot verify the figure itself, but in actual use, my skin did feel moisturized after cleansing.
