Dr.Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm

Pore Cleansing Balm — Dr.Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm

Dr.Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm is a Korean cleansing balm with a sorbet-like texture that melts away sunscreen, make-up and waterproof formulas while helping keep pores clearer and excess sebum under control.

What makes this cleansing balm different

Three technical features set it apart from other Korean cleansing balms:

• Grinding system → better hygiene and more precise dispensing
• Soothing + sebum-balancing actives → a deeper cleanse without unnecessary irritation
• Lightweight balm-to-oil texture → removes heavy make-up without leaving a greasy residue

Key benefits

• Deep pore cleansing without irritation
  Dissolves make-up, SPF and built-up impurities with a gentle massage, then emulsifies with water for effective removal without dragging or stressing the skin.
• Sorbet texture
  Makes application feel smooth, even and comfortable across dry skin.
• Visible sebum control
  Green tea extract (Camellia Sinensis) helps regulate excess oil and supports a cleaner, clearer-looking pore area.
• Instant soothing care for sensitive or reactive skin
  Contains Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate, a soothing azulene-derived ingredient that helps reduce visible redness and calm irritation during cleansing.
• Removes impurities without a greasy film
  A combination of lightweight emollients such as Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and plant oils helps lift make-up and sebum without leaving the skin feeling heavy after rinsing.
• More hygienic than traditional cleansing balms
  The Grinding system avoids direct hand contact with the product, making daily use cleaner, easier and more precise.
• Effective yet gentle make-up removal
  Removes even waterproof make-up with a relatively small amount of product.
• Comforting finish
  Cleanses thoroughly without leaving skin feeling tight, dry or stripped after rinsing.
• Balm-to-oil base
  Melts away make-up, sunscreen and stubborn daily build-up for easier removal with less friction.

Key ingredients

• Green tea extract (Camellia Sinensis)
  Helps regulate excess sebum and keep pores looking clearer thanks to its antioxidant profile rich in polyphenols.
• Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate
  A soothing ingredient derived from azulene that helps reduce redness and makes cleansing feel more comfortable.
• Soybean oil (Glycine Soja)
  Helps dissolve make-up, SPF and oily residue built up inside the pores without making cleansing feel harsh.
• Rice bran oil (Oryza Sativa)
  Leaves the skin feeling softer and more supple after cleansing, helping to prevent that tight post-cleanse feel.
• Jojoba oil (Simmondsia Chinensis)
  A biomimetic lipid that helps support hydration balance while lifting away impurities.

Why it deserves a place in your routine

It delivers a deep yet comfortable cleanse, removes make-up with ease and helps improve the look of clogged pores in a format that feels more hygienic, more practical and more precise.

If you are looking for a Korean cleansing balm that helps remove make-up, sunscreen, excess sebum and daily impurities without leaving a heavy finish, Dr.Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm is an especially strong fit.
