Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm

First cleanse should feel satisfying — not like you are tugging at your skin. This grinding cleansing balm from Dr. Althea melts makeup and SPF while the fine grinding particles give pores a gentle refresh. The balm-to-oil texture dissolves sunscreen and long-wear makeup cleanly. Rinse emulsifies to a light milk that leaves skin soft, not squeaky. Ideal as step one of a double cleanse, especially on days you wore full coverage or water-resistant SPF.

• Removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen thoroughly
• Grinding particles help unclog and refresh pores gently
• Balm melts without stripping natural lipids
• Leaves skin clean and supple — ready for second cleanse
