HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal Hyaluronic Acid Low-pH Foam Cleanser is a facial cleanser I tested in Korea on oily, acne-prone skin.

I used HEEDA Glutathione Brightening Tone Care Glow Serum every night when my skin felt dry and dull. Its runny texture absorbed relatively quickly with a moist, non-sticky finish that I liked.
