Cleansing balm for dry, sebum-prone skin: HEEDA Charcoal 3-day test

HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm is a Korean cleansing balm tested for 3 days on skin with severe inner dryness and periodic sebum and blackhead buildup. On days with only sunscreen, the HEEDA balm left less tightness after rinsing, while waterproof color makeup needed a full 30 seconds of rolling plus a second cleanse. Verdict: a comfortable option for dry skin, but heavy makeup days still call for double cleansing.
