The Dr. Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm is a gentle yet effective balm cleanser designed to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and pore-clogging impurities without irritating sensitive or reactive skin. This hypoallergenic formula transforms from balm to oil upon contact with skin, offering deep cleansing benefits while preserving moisture balance. Infused with Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Jojoba Seed Oil, and a blend of calming and antioxidant-rich botanicals, this balm not only purifies pores but also soothes redness, regulates sebum, and leaves skin smooth, nourished, and refreshingly clean.
