Korean cleansing balm for oily, dehydrated skin: HEEDA Jirisan

How did the balm texture feel on oily, dehydrated skin?

I was looking for a cleansing product because my skin gets oily in summer, and I tried HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm. I had been using an oil cleanser, but when this thick, pudding-like balm touched my skin, it seemed to melt and spread softly.

My skin is oily but lacking in moisture—oily, dehydrated skin. I scooped out a small amount with the included black spoon, and even about 20 minutes after washing, it felt more moisturized than other areas.

How did it remove makeup?

I took out an appropriate amount and gently rolled it over my face, then rubbed the eye and lip makeup areas a little more. I added a little water to emulsify it, then rinsed with lukewarm water.

I tried it on product applied to my wrist, as well as eyebrow, eye, and lip makeup. With a small amount on the eyebrow makeup and three or four rolls, I could see it melting away. The traces of the black formula also rinsed away well with water.

How were the scent and finish after cleansing?

Even though I am sensitive to fragrance, it did not feel irritating. I especially liked the faint lingering scent of dry grass, and even long after washing, my face seemed to look clearer than usual.

What was disappointing?

I could place the spoon on top and close the lid after use, which seemed hygienic. Still, I wished it came in a larger size.
