Key Ingredients for a Healthy Glow

Each ingredient in the Dr. Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm is carefully selected to nurture your skin:

  • Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract: A powerful antioxidant that helps control excess sebum secretion, leading to a clearer complexion.
  • Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil: Rich in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, it deeply nourishes and helps maintain the skin’s vital moisture barrier.
  • Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate: A soothing compound that calms redness and irritation, providing comfort for sensitive and reactive skin.
  • Botanical Complex: A synergistic blend of natural extracts that ensures your skin remains hydrated and comfortable, preventing any post-cleanse tightness.
  • Carbonated Water: Infuses a refreshing sensation and aids in lifting impurities from the skin, enhancing the cleansing process.

How to Achieve Your Best Cleanse

Follow these simple steps for a radiant, purified complexion:

  1. Dispense: Twist the bottom of the product clockwise to dispense the desired amount of balm.
  2. Massage: Apply the balm directly to dry skin. Gently massage in a rolling motion across your face to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities.
  3. Emulsify: Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your face. Continue massaging as the balm emulsifies into a milky texture.
  4. Rinse: Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water until all traces of the balm are gone, leaving your skin clean and fresh.

  1. Lily Fischer – Toronto, Canada –

    The texture is unique and creamy. Look for updates on the packaging before buying.

  2. Astrid – Linköping, Sweden –

    Bra rengöring. Min hy kändes fräsch och mjuk direkt efter användning. Måste använda mer produkt än väntat för att få riktigt rent. Leveransen var lite seg, men det funkade helt okej ändå.
