Charcoal cleansing foam for post-wash tightness: HEEDA

HEEDA Moisturizing Charcoal Cleansing Foam is a Korean facial cleanser I tried in winter. It left my skin feeling less tight after washing and produced a rich lather from a small amount; on days with heavy makeup, I used it as a second cleanse. I was satisfied with the soft, moisturized finish, though feel can vary by person.
