Delivery Timeline if ordered today:

Dr. Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm is a sorbet-textured cleansing balm with an innovative built-in grinding mechanism that dispenses a fresh portion of product with each use, removing the need to touch the formula directly. The balm melts on contact with dry skin to effortlessly dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum, then emulsifies cleanly with water for a thorough first cleanse without leaving any greasy residue.

The formula is enriched with Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract to regulate sebum and deliver antioxidant protection, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil to maintain the skin's moisture balance after cleansing, and Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate to calm redness and soothe irritated skin. Jojoba Seed Oil and Rice Bran Oil provide additional nourishment, while a botanical complex of Turmeric, Aloe, and Centella extracts helps to support healthy skin throughout the cleansing process. Vegan-certified, fragrance-free, and free from artificial colorants and parabens.

Star Ingredients

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract - the primary base of the formula, delivering potent antioxidant protection while helping to dissolve impurities and balance the skin during cleansing

Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate (Azulene) - a striking blue-pigmented anti-inflammatory derived from chamomile that soothes sensitised skin and calms redness during the cleansing process

Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil - a lightweight, nourishing oil rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that dissolves oil-based impurities while conditioning the skin

Jojoba Seed Oil - closely mimics the skin's natural sebum, making it highly effective at dissolving pore-clogging build-up without disrupting the skin's natural balance

Rice Bran Oil - rich in Vitamin E and ferulic acid, providing additional antioxidant protection and skin-softening benefits during the cleansing process

Centella Asiatica Extract - calms and soothes irritated or sensitised skin throughout the cleansing process, supporting a healthy skin barrier

How To Use

Turn the cap clockwise to dispense a small amount of balm. Massage onto dry skin to melt makeup and sunscreen. Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with a water-based cleanser as part of your double-cleansing routine.

Recommended Skin Type

All skin types, particularly those concerned with pore congestion, excess sebum, and thorough makeup removal. Vegan-certified and suitable for those avoiding animal-derived ingredients. Fragrance-free and appropriate for sensitive skin.
