  Pros

  💛The Hwahae Testers Review💛 - Texture: As a first-time cleansing balm user, I was skeptical about how well it would spread with a plastic spatula, given its solid appearance. However, it has an incredibly creamy texture that melts effortlessly with just the warmth of your hands. It becomes oil-like but doesn't run, making it super convenient to use! - Cleansing effectiveness: After removing eye and lip makeup with a separate remover, this balm effectively cleaned off the rest of my makeup (I believe it could even handle light eye makeup like eyeliner and eyeshadow without mascara). Fascinatingly, the more I massaged, the more I felt it drawing out sebum! - Irritation: Unlike some harsh pore-clearing products with strong chemical scents, this balm effectively removes sebum and blackheads without any skin irritation.

  Cons

  The ingredients list is slightly disappointing, but since it doesn't cause any blemishes or issues, it's not a major concern.

  Tip

  For best results, I recommend massaging for over 10 minutes, then rinsing off residue with a cleansing sponge.

  Pros

  1. Honestly, I was worried the dark color might make it look like blackheads stuck in my pores, but that concern was unnecessary! 2. There was noticeably less skin tightness after use. 3. It removes makeup effectively! 4. I loved how creamy and smooth it felt when applying! 5. I usually hate twist-off caps, but this one opens with a satisfying 'pop' which I really like!

  Cons

  1. However, as someone who prefers a squeaky-clean feel, I wasn't fully satisfied with just this and ended up double cleansing... 2. The amount is a bit small. It seems like it might not last long if used generously... Apart from these points, everything else was great!

  Pros

  ✔️Texture: It scoops out creamy and applies much more smoothly than other cleansing balms, gliding on effortlessly. ✔️Cleansing effectiveness: It removes eyeliner and lipstick well. The emulsification process didn't cause any eye irritation. It feels so thorough that a second cleanse seems unnecessary. Despite being a cleansing balm, it doesn't leave a slippery residue - just a refreshed feeling. ✔️I love how it leaves my skin feeling moisturized without any deep dryness or tightness.

  Cons

  I haven't found any downsides yet, but it would be great if they offered a larger size for more generous use.

  Tip

  When removing makeup, be sure to emulsify the product. Rinse with lukewarm water for a fresh finish without needing a second cleanse.

  Pros

  My skin type: combination dehydrated skin, sensitive, prone to blemishes. My skin is so sensitive that it can react badly if I use the wrong cosmetic product or even wash with unfiltered water. The fragrance is subtle and pleasant, likely to suit most people. The texture is like a soft sorbet that adheres well to the skin without running when rubbed. Being black in color, it's easy to see where you've applied it and if you've missed any spots while rinsing. Unlike other cleansing balms that leave a residue or slippery feeling, this charcoal cleansing balm leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturized without any leftover product. I noticed a visible reduction in blackheads and pore issues. It's also convenient for removing makeup as it cleanses thoroughly in one step, eliminating the need for double cleansing.

  Cons

  It's extremely gentle yet highly effective at cleansing, so I don't have any complaints.

  Pros

  Let me start by saying I'm absolutely thrilled with this product! I'm 10000% going to repurchase it! # Product Packaging First off, the product looks so luxurious that it doesn't clash with my bathroom decor, which is great. It would also make a lovely gift! The balm format requires a spatula, but I love that it's built into the lid, so you don't need to prepare or remember to bring one separately. # Texture The absorbs beautifully! It glides on incredibly smoothly. The feeling when it touches your skin is absolutely delightful. # Cleansing Effectiveness This is what I love most about it. I've seen many reviews praising its cleansing power, but I've been let down so many times that I was skeptical. But wow, the cleansing effectiveness is truly outstanding! I always wear makeup to work and tend to go for a heavier eye look. Even with my current favorite oil cleanser, I usually have to double cleanse my eyes. But with this product, the initial application removes everything perfectly, including eye makeup! Especially for me, under-eye liner and eyeliner close to my lashes have always been stubborn to remove. This product wipes it all away in one go, which really impressed me and is the biggest reason I'll definitely repurchase. In terms of usage, I found that using the built-in spatula to scoop out two full rounds was more than enough for thorough cleansing. It's definitely not wasteful. # User Experience To be honest, I usually don't prefer balm formulas as they tend to feel heavier and more suffocating than oils. However, this one feels incredibly lightweight and hydrating! I love how it doesn't leave an oily finish and feels refreshing after use. # Ingredients With its 100% vegan recipe, free from 23 controversial ingredients, plus Jirisan charcoal and 15 natural ingredients, I feel confident using it.

  Cons

  There's nothing I dislike about it, but personally, I wish it came in a larger size at a more affordable price!

  Tip

  After applying the balm to my face, I focus on areas where pores are a concern (for me, that's my nose and chin). I apply a slightly thicker layer there, warm my hands, and do some concentrated rolling motions. The oil helps dissolve blackheads and whiteheads, noticeably clearing out the more prominent ones. I have quite a few whiteheads on my chin, so I do this intensive rolling process every other day. As a result, I've noticed that just cleansing alone helps clear out the larger blemishes, significantly reducing how often I need to use pore strips for manual extraction.

  Pros

  The texture is incredibly soft, which I absolutely love. Some cleansing balms can be a bit firm, making it hard to melt and massage, but this one is so smooth and melts easily. Even with gentle rubbing, it quickly dissolves and spreads. I really enjoy how it glides on smoothly when I scoop it with the spatula and apply it. It's so soft that it rolls effortlessly, effectively removing eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. The black color is quite amusing - when you rub it on your face, it turns a bit dark. It's pretty funny when you're alone, applying it all over your face. You end up looking like a messy ragamuffin, which always makes me laugh... It's quite entertaining in its own way! It doesn't sting if it gets in your eyes, rinses off well, and removes makeup effectively. I'm very satisfied!

  Cons

  There wasn't really anything I disliked about it. The color is a bit funny... being black, I'll admit I was slightly hesitant to use it at first. Most cleansing balms are white or light-colored, after all.

  Pros

  This was my first time trying a cleansing balm, and I found it more convenient than cleansing oil since it doesn't drip. The scent was subtle and didn't bother me much, though I couldn't quite place it. As someone who doesn't wear makeup often, I can't speak much to its cleansing effectiveness. However, on days when my skin is extra oily, I usually use oil cleansing, and this balm feels like a solidified version of that. It spreads smoothly and gives a similar sensation when you massage it in. Being new to balm-type cleansers, I wasn't sure if I should wipe it off with a cotton pad, but when I tried washing my hands first, it emulsified really well. I finished up with a foam cleanser afterwards. The after-feel was incredibly hydrating, so I think I'll reach for this more often than my cleansing oil.

  Cons

  There's not much to complain about, but I think those who wear heavy makeup might find the amount a bit too small.

  Tip

  I think it would work great to apply this on nose blackheads and cover with a warm towel.

  Pros

  While Heidi is a new brand to me, I've found that most skincare products these days are of high quality regardless of brand. Using this cleansing balm was a pleasant experience. I appreciated the included spatula, which made it easy to scoop out the product without getting it under my nails. The one-touch cap design is also convenient, unlike screw-top lids. Despite being solid, the balm's texture is surprisingly soft. It melts smoothly onto the skin and spreads effortlessly, which I really liked. After massaging it in, it emulsifies well with water. It's somewhat effective on blackheads and removes even stubborn eye makeup like dark eyeliners efficiently. The charcoal component (10000ppm or 1%) enhances its cleansing power, which is great. The other extracts and oils listed are likely in such small quantities that they probably don't significantly impact the product's effectiveness. While not entirely fragrance-free, it has a subtle, hard-to-describe scent that's inoffensive and comfortable. It's also gentle on the skin, causing no irritation. The amount seems just right for me, as I find overly large quantities overwhelming.

  Cons

  Looking at the ingredients list, I was disappointed to see synthetic waxes and PEG compounds among the main ingredients. (Those with sensitivities to PEG ingredients might want to avoid this product.) As someone with dry skin, I found that while my skin felt moisturized immediately after cleansing, the effect didn't last long. After a few minutes, my skin started to feel tight.

  Tip

  When I'm feeling lazy about putting the spatula back inside the cap, I sometimes reuse the clear cover that came with the product. I place the spatula on top of the product cap and cover it with this clear lid to keep dust off.

  Pros

  This review is from a man in his 20s with oily skin. When applied to the skin using a spatula, it melts with body heat and spreads smoothly. It's great that it doesn't run like oil, and it applies gently without irritation, making it suitable for those with super sensitive skin. There's hardly any scent, and the charcoal ingredient gives a cool, refreshing feeling. I don't wear makeup, just sunscreen, and I found the cleansing effectiveness to be excellent. With consistent use, it seems effective in removing blackheads too. After cleansing, it leaves just the right amount of hydration, so there's no feeling of tightness or dryness. For those with oily skin, I recommend using this as a second cleanse!

  Cons

  The jar packaging makes it a bit difficult to use. The amount seems small, so it might run out quickly if used daily. Due to the nature of jar packaging, it's probably better to use it up quickly rather than storing it for a long time!

  Pros

  #Texture It had a soft, whipped cream-like feel. When applied to the face, it felt like it adhered perfectly to the skin. #User Experience What I loved most was how it melted smoothly like oil when massaged, feeling gentle and non-irritating. Adding a bit of water made it even smoother and enhanced its deep cleansing ability, which I appreciated even more. It felt like I was doing a double cleanse in one step. #Effects It effectively removed not only sunscreen but also makeup. I was particularly pleased with how well it eliminated blackheads, which are my main skin concern. Another significant feature of this product seems to be how it leaves the skin feeling moisturized without any tightness after cleansing.

  Cons

  There's nothing I dislike about this product. If I had to mention something, I found myself using it up quickly. I think it would be even better if they offered a larger size or made the formula slightly thinner and packaged it in a tube for easier use.
