Cleansing balm for dry skin makeup removal: HEEDA Moist Charcoal

How did it feel after cleansing on dry skin?

I usually use cleansing oil because I want a low-irritation cleanse that still feels moisturizing. After using this product on my face for several days, it did not feel as though it stripped away too much sebum or compromised my moisture barrier, like when I manage blackheads too aggressively. As someone with dry skin, it felt less burdensome to use every day.

What were the texture and method of use like?

The 100ml full-size product came inside a paper box, with a separate spatula provided on the lid. After use, I could store it fitted into the groove on the lid.

It has a soft, sherbet-like balm texture, so I could scoop out a small amount easily with the spatula or my fingers. I find that textures that are too runny or too hard make it difficult to tell how well they roll and emulsify, but this one rolled and emulsified with very little effort.

How much makeup did it remove?

I tested it after applying brush-tip eyeliner, lipstick, and brown eyeshadow to the back of my hand. The lipstick and eyeshadow came off after three or four gentle rolls, while the brush-tip eyeliner, which adhered more closely to the skin, came off when I rolled it with a little more pressure.

When I used it on my face for several days, I could also cleanse my usual pencil eyeliner and mascara relatively easily. As it emulsified over makeup, it turned charcoal-colored, which made it convenient to distinguish the areas I had rolled.

How did I use it for blackheads around the nose?

When the blackheads on my nose bothered me, I focused on rolling the nose area for about 10 to 12 seconds. The original writer noted that rolling for too long could allow the product to enter the pores, so I did not make the time too long.
