Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm Dr. Althea

Dr. Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm is a rich, silky-textured cleansing balm that transforms into an oil upon contact with the skin, designed to effectively remove makeup (even waterproof), sunscreen, excess sebum, and impurities without dehydrating or irritating the skin. Its formula combines soothing, antioxidant, and nourishing ingredients that care for the skin barrier and improve skin texture from the very first application.

Ideal as the first step in your nighttime cleansing routine (especially if you wear makeup or SPF), this balm leaves skin soft, clean, and comfortable without feeling greasy or tight.

✨ Key Ingredients and Their Functions

• Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract: a powerful antioxidant that helps to control sebum production, soothes the skin, and provides a fresh feeling.
• Grape Seed (Vitis vinifera) Oil: a light, non-comedogenic emollient that dissolves makeup and sebum while nourishing and protecting the skin.
• Rice Seed (Oryza sativa) Oil: helps to maintain skin hydration and balance after cleansing.
• Jojoba Seed (Simmondsia chinensis) Oil: a gentle emollient that hydrates and softens the skin without clogging pores.
• Madecassoside and Centella Asiatica Extract: soothing compounds that reduce redness and relieve irritation, strengthening the skin barrier.
• Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate (Guaiazulene): a chamomile derivative with powerful soothing and anti-irritant action that also gives the product its characteristic bluish tone.
