Description

Dr. Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm is a hypoallergenic cleanser that gently melts away makeup and impurities while maintaining comfortable hydration. Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract helps control excess sebum, while Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil supports the skin's moisture balance. Made in South Korea, its sensitive-skin-friendly formula leaves the complexion clean, calm and refreshed.

Oil-based cleansing is a cornerstone of the Korean double-cleansing ritual because balm textures effectively dissolve makeup, sunscreen and oil-based impurities before a water-based cleanse. This formula pairs cleansing oils with Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate and a botanical complex to calm redness and preserve a soft, smooth finish after rinsing.
