Dr.Althea [EU]Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm 50ml

The Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm opens as a velvety, solid balm that instantly melts upon contact with skin, transforming into a silky oil texture that effortlessly dissolves even long-wear makeup and SPF. As you massage it in, ultra-fine grinding micro-particles activate to gently buff and purify the pore area, delivering a dual-phase cleansing experience that is both indulgent and effective. Rinse with warm water to reveal a lightweight, non-greasy finish that never strips the skin's natural moisture barrier.

1. Begin with dry hands and a dry face.
2. Scoop a small amount of balm (approximately hazelnut-sized) using the provided spatula or clean fingertips.
3. Warm the balm between your palms until it melts into an oil texture.
4. Apply to dry skin and massage gently in circular motions for 30–60 seconds, focusing on pore-congested areas such as the nose, chin, and forehead. Allow the micro-grinding particles to work across the skin's surface.
5. Add a small amount of lukewarm water and continue massaging — the formula will emulsify into a milky texture.
6. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
7. Follow with your second cleanse (water-based cleanser) as part of a double-cleanse routine.
8. Use once daily, preferably in the evening.

For an optimal result and to maintain the high product quality of the Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm, please observe the following safety instructions:

• FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY: This product is intended for topical use to cleanse the skin. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately and thoroughly with clean water.

• INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: If unusual symptoms such as redness, swelling, or discomfort occur during or after use, we recommend discontinuing use and consulting a professional or healthcare professional. Do not apply the balm to injured, irritated, or open areas of skin.

• STORAGE & HANDLING: To preserve the texture and freshness of the "Grinding" formula, store the product cool and dry, protected from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Close the lid tightly after each use to protect the balm from environmental influences. Keep out of the reach of children.

• PATCH TEST: Although gently and refreshingly formulated, we recommend a small patch test before first use for particularly sensitive skin or a known sensitivity to certain plant oils.
