How to use cleansing balm for blackheads: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal Balm

HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm is a makeup-removing balm tested here by a writer with dehydrated-oily, sensitive skin who has long struggled with nose blackheads and pores. The balm melts with body heat, so it was rolled gently over the nose for about 30 seconds before rinsing with a foam cleanser. Waterproof makeup came off fairly cleanly, making HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm an easy first step for blackhead-prone skin.

Makeup balm remover for combination-oily skin: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm is a Korean makeup balm remover made with charcoal from Jirisan (지리산). The writer, who has combination-oily skin (oily but dehydrated), used the HEEDA balm to take off summer makeup: it melts into an oil with body heat, then turns into a milky texture that rinses away once lukewarm water is added. The texture change was the most impressive part, leaving skin clean without a tight, stripped feel.
