DR ALTHEA Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm - 50ml

 Product Description:

If you wear makeup or sunscreen, a good first-step cleanser makes the rest of your routine easier, and a balm is one of the gentlest ways to do it. The Dr. Althea cleansing balm, known as the Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm, is an oil-based balm that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime without stripping the skin. It has a short 14-ingredient formula built around camellia and grape seed oils with soothing centella.

What makes the Dr Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm stand out is its twist-to-grind dispenser, which grinds out a fresh, precise amount each time, so it stays hygienic and mess-free. The balm has a firm, sorbet-like texture that melts into a silky oil on contact with skin, then rinses clean once you add water to emulsify. Madecassoside and centella help keep the skin feeling calm and comfortable while you cleanse.

As a Korean cleansing balm in Canada, this suits all skin types, including dry, combination, and sensitive or blemish-prone skin. It is fragrance-free and vegan, which makes it a comfortable pick for reactive skin. It is an oil-based first cleanse, so follow it with a water-based cleanser in the evening if you want a full double cleanse.
