Cleansing balm for troubled combination skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

How did I use it on troubled, dehydrated-oily combination skin?

Even when I thought I had removed my makeup twice, I felt stressed because residue seemed to remain when I wiped my skin with toner on a cotton pad. Since I had breakouts, I felt that covering them with heavy makeup made more appear the next day, so I wanted to manage my skin with a product that cleansed well.

I recently used HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm two to three times a week. This was my experience using it during a period when I was concerned about texture and acne marks.

How did the balm texture melt on my skin?

This is a balm-type product containing 10,000 ppm of fine genuine charcoal particles. The particles were so fine that they were barely visible when I opened the lid, and it melted smoothly on my skin without feeling rough or dry.

I had previously avoided balm-type products because I worried they might irritate my skin, but I liked how this product’s fine texture melted quickly. It also spread thinly when I scooped it out with the spatula, which made it convenient when I was in a hurry.

Were the container and spatula easy to store?

I opened the inner lid by turning the upper plastic section slightly, then removed it completely before use. There was a groove in the lid to secure the spatula, so I worried less about losing it separately, and the lid closed well, making it easy to keep.

What did I think while using it?

I used it when I was looking for a gentle product that still removed makeup well, as I was concerned about makeup residue. I was satisfied with the balm texture that melted smoothly and its spreadability, but any changes in my skin condition are best taken only as part of my personal skincare routine.
