This is a charcoal hydrating cleansing foam from Heeda, tested by a writer with dry skin in Korea. She used it alone for her morning wash and liked its soft, rich lather and the less-tight feeling afterward.
I tested Huida Glutathione Brightening Tone Care Glow Serum morning and night for several days in Korea. It felt light on my skin and left it feeling comfortably moisturized with moisturizer, though results may vary by skin type and condition.
I used Heeda Jirisan Charcoal Hyaluronic Acid Low-pH Foam Cleanser on weak, sensitive skin in Korea, both alone in the morning and as a second cleanse after cleansing balm. It left my skin feeling less tight and more moisturized, and I did not experience breakouts while using it.
Heeda Glutathione High-End Glow Serum is a Korean glow serum I used morning and night for skin that felt dry and looked dull. Its bouncy yet lightweight texture layered comfortably and left a hydrated-looking finish with little stickiness, though results can vary with skin condition.
Hida Glutathione High-End Glow Radiance Serum is a 30ml brightening serum I tested in Korea for one week on sensitive, oily skin prone to breakouts from heavy products. It absorbed lightly before sunscreen and in my nighttime routine without irritation, though I felt tone care would require consistent use rather than delivering an immediate change.
Heeda Glutathione Brightening Tone Care Glow Serum is a 30ml facial serum I tried on dry, redness-prone, sensitive skin in Korea. Its lightly fluid texture absorbed quickly and stayed relatively non-sticky even after layering, though I will keep using it to see how it works over time.
Huida Even & Glow Serum is a 30ml glutathione serum from Korea. I tried its thin, clear formula on my normal, non-sensitive skin and found it spread quickly with almost no scent, though longer use is needed to judge tone or dark-spot changes.
Heeda Jirisan Moist Charcoal Hydrating Cleansing Foam is a low-pH facial cleanser I used in Korea on commute days when I wore only sunscreen. It felt soft and left my skin less tight after washing, but I would use a separate first cleanse before it on heavy-makeup days.
Huida Jirisan Charcoal Jojoba Seed Oil Moist Cleansing Balm is a Korean cleansing balm I tried for removing face makeup. Its firm balm melted into a soft oil with body heat and left my skin feeling moisturized and smooth rather than squeaky-clean after washing.
Huida Jirisan Charcoal Jojoba Seed Oil Moisturizing Cleansing Balm is a Korean cleansing balm I tried on makeup days. It melted softly into an oil with body heat and felt like a reasonable daily option when I wanted a gentler cleansing feel, though I only tested its texture and use experience.
I tested Heeda Jirisan Charcoal Hyaluronic Acid Low-pH Foam Cleanser on my dry skin in Korea, using it alone in the morning and as a second cleanse at night. Once I built up enough foam, I liked that it left my skin feeling clean without excessive tightness.
Heeda Glutathione High-End Glow Serum is a Korean facial serum I used morning and night. Its thin texture absorbed quickly and felt less likely to pill beneath makeup, though I saw it as daily skin-condition care rather than a shortcut to tone changes.
