On dry skin it melts into a silky oil that dissolves sunscreen, makeup and even waterproof products; add a splash of water and it turns milky, then rinses away without leaving a greasy film. What sets it apart is the pack: instead of scooping with your fingers, you twist the top and the built-in grinder releases a measured amount, which keeps the rest of the balm clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula keeps to a short list of key ingredients, with camellia seed oil and grape seed oil to cleanse, and madecassoside with centella extract to calm. It is vegan and fragrance-free, and it is designed for sensitive and acne-prone skin as well as dry and normal skin. The jar holds 50ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a cleansing balm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cleansing balm is an oil cleanser in solid form. Oils dissolve oils, so a balm lifts the sunscreen, makeup and excess sebum that water-based face washes struggle with. Because it is solid, it is less messy than a liquid oil and easy to carry when you travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat does Dr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm do?

A balm is one of the most comfortable ways for dry skin to remove sunscreen, because the oils leave the skin cushioned rather than parched. Follow it with a gentle, creamy second cleanser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it good for sensitive skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts fragrance-free, soothing formula is designed with sensitive skin in mind. Massage lightly rather than scrubbing, and rinse thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Dr.Althea cleansing balm non-comedogenic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is formulated for acne-prone skin and emulsifies so it rinses away rather than sitting on the skin, which is what matters most for clogged pores. Any oil cleanser can still trouble very congested skin if it is not rinsed well, so always follow with a water-based wash and patch-test first if you break out easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWho should patch-test first\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone with very acne-prone skin, or with known sensitivities to plant oils. Use it on a small area of the jawline for a few evenings before using it all over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use Dr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm (morning and night)\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwist the top clockwise to grind out a small amount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith dry hands, warm the balm between your fingers until it softens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMassage it over a dry face in gentle circles to dissolve sunscreen and makeup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet your fingertips and work the oil until it becomes a light, milky emulsion; rinse with lukewarm water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow with your water-based cleanser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you need it in the morning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsually not. Its job is removing sunscreen and makeup, so evening is when it matters. In the morning, a simple gentle wash is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to follow it with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the balm, use a gentle second cleanser such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cetaphil-gentle-skin-cleanser-500ml\"\u003eCetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser\u003c\/a\u003e for dry or sensitive skin, or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/beauty-of-joseon-green-plum-refreshing-cleanser-100ml\"\u003eBeauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser\u003c\/a\u003e for a fresher feel.

Heavier makeup or several layers of sunscreen may need a little more, but using too much only makes it harder to rinse. Spend about a minute massaging, paying attention to the hairline, sides of the nose and jaw where sunscreen tends to collect. For eye makeup, press gently with your fingertips rather than rubbing, then rinse well before your second cleanse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm results: how long until you see a difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou see clean, comfortable skin from the first use. Over two to three weeks, many people notice their face feels less tight after cleansing and that redness from rubbing at makeup settles down, because removal becomes gentler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes Dr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm have side effects?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a gentle formula and most people use it without issues. Rinsing too lightly can leave a film that may clog pores on very oily skin, so always emulsify fully and double cleanse. Stop if you notice stinging around the eyes, small bumps or persistent redness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm vs other cleansing balms and oils\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFormat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid balm, grinder pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry, sensitive and acne-prone skin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/anua-heartleaf-pore-control-cleansing-oil\"\u003eANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiquid oil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOily skin, blackheads\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClassic scoop-jar balms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid balm with spatula\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTravel and heavy makeup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Dr.Althea balm if you want a soft, soothing first cleanse and a cleaner way to dispense it.

Compared with the brand's own pore-focused cleansers and other well-known Korean balms, the Pure Grinding balm leans gentler and more comforting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm price in Pakistan\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe live price for the 50ml jar appears on this page.

The balm itself should be smooth and evenly coloured, melting into a clear oil on skin; grainy, discoloured or strongly scented balm is a warning sign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYESBEAUTY is an authentic seller of Dr.Althea in Pakistan.
