How to Use

Use daily in your evening routine as the first step of your double cleanse.

1. Grind: With dry hands, twist the bottom of the container clockwise to dispense a dime-sized amount of balm.
2. Massage: Gently massage the balm onto your dry face in circular motions for 30-60 seconds, focusing on areas with heavy makeup.
3. Emulsify: Add a splash of lukewarm water to your hands and continue massaging. The oil will transform into a milky cleanser.
4. Rinse: Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow with your favorite water-based cleanser.

Expert Tips & Pointers

• Pair With: Always follow up with a water-based foam or gel cleanser. This is the secret to a perfect Korean double cleanse, ensuring every last bit of impurity is washed away.
• Do Not: Apply this balm to a wet face! Oil cleansers need to be applied to dry skin to properly break down oil-based products like makeup and SPF.

Q&A For You

Is the Dr. Althea Grinding Cleansing Balm good for oily or acne-prone skin?

Absolutely! It’s formulated with non-comedogenic oils like Grapeseed Oil that help dissolve excess sebum from your pores without clogging them. A proper double cleanse with this balm can actually help reduce breakouts by ensuring your skin is thoroughly clean.

Do I still need a second cleanser after using this balm?

Yes, we highly recommend it. While this balm rinses off well, a second water-based cleanser removes any remaining oily residue and water-based impurities like sweat and dirt. This two-step process leaves your skin perfectly prepped for the rest of your skincare routine.
