Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm is a first-step cleanser made for sensitive, easily reactive skin. The built-in grinding mechanism dispenses fresh balm with every turn, so you never dip fingers into the jar and the 50ml formula stays clean and stable. On contact, the sorbet-like texture turns silky and melts over makeup, sunscreen and long-wear products, lifting them away while the skin keeps a soft, cushioned feel. After rinsing, skin looks clean and smooth rather than tight, ready for your next toner and moisturizer steps. It's vegan, cruelty-free and made without artificial fragrance or color.
