A pore-focused cleansing balm formulated by Korean dermatology-inspired brand Dr. Althea. Designed as the first step in a double cleansing routine, this balm effectively dissolves stubborn makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and deep-seated pore impurities. Its unique grinding texture provides a gentle physical exfoliation effect during cleansing, helping to decongest pores and refine skin texture while leaving skin clean, refreshed, and balanced.

Key Benefits

• Deep Pore Cleansing: Penetrates and decongests pores to remove blackheads, excess sebum, and buildup for visibly cleaner, more refined pores
• Grinding Exfoliation Effect: Unique balm texture provides a gentle physical exfoliation during cleansing to smooth skin surface and improve texture over time
• Thorough Makeup and Sunscreen Removal: Effectively dissolves waterproof makeup, long-wear foundation, and heavy sunscreen in a single cleansing step
• Pore Minimizing and Refreshing: Leaves skin feeling refreshed, tightened, and visibly smoother after each use
• Gentle, Non-Stripping Formula: Cleanses deeply without disrupting the skin's natural moisture barrier, suitable for daily use

Best For

Oily skin, combination skin, acne-prone skin, enlarged pores, blackhead-prone skin, and makeup wearers following a double cleansing or oil cleansing routine

How To Use

Apply a small amount to dry hands and massage gently onto dry face in circular motions to dissolve makeup and loosen pore impurities. Add a small amount of water to emulsify into a milky texture. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with a water-based facial cleanser as the second cleanse for best results.
