Cleansing balm for sensitive skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal Balm

Because I have sensitive skin, I usually use cleansing milk. I tried the HEEDA cleansing balm hoping for care for areas where I worry about blackheads and for low-irritation cleansing.

What are the texture and scent of the HEEDA cleansing balm like?

It had a thick, black balm texture containing charcoal. It had a slightly cool mint scent, and when I massaged it onto dry skin, it melted smoothly like oil.

At first it applied like a balm, then melted like oil on the skin; when I added water, it felt as though it emulsified softly like cleansing milk.

How did I use it?

After spreading it evenly over dry skin with the spatula, I gently massaged it, focusing on areas where blackheads or pores concerned me. I then rinsed it off with water.

The container included a spatula and an inner cap, so I could store the spatula separately.

Did it remove makeup well?

I normally use lip-and-eye remover, but this time I tried removing even my eye makeup with only the cleansing balm, without remover. It was not stiff or draggy even when I massaged it without water, and after washing, it felt as though my makeup, including eye makeup, had been thoroughly removed.

How did it feel after use on sensitive combination skin?

After use, my face felt soft without tightness or a squeaky-clean feeling. It did not feel irritating to me, and I did not develop any breakouts while using it.

I was satisfied enough to feel that I could use a cleansing balm instead of cleansing milk. However, skin reactions may vary from person to person.
