Dr. Althea

Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm

For sensitive, acne-prone skin

The "Zero-Contamination" Grinding Balm This is the hygienic revolution in first-step cleansing. The Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm physically eliminates the mess and bacteria of traditional jar balms with a unique "Grinding Dial" system. It shaves off a fresh, precise dose of balm every time, transforming from a solid into a luxurious oil that physically melts 99% of waterproof makeup and sunscreen.

Why it’s a Real Gem: It’s a "Hygienic Shield." Most balms are exposed to air and fingers, but this "fresh-shaved" delivery system ensures the antioxidants stay potent until the second they touch your skin. It doesn't just clean; it physically "patches" your barrier with Cica and Grape Seed oil, leaving your skin soft and nourished rather than stripped and oily.

Best For: The "Skin-Safety" obsessed. The ultimate choice for acne-prone or sensitive users who need a powerful, makeup-melting first cleanse without the risk of bacterial transfer or "stale" product.

Key Ingredients
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Seed Oil A high-potency antioxidant that calms the skin during cleansing and helps keep excess sebum in check. Madecassoside and Asiatic Acid Cica-derived actives that patch the skin barrier and calm inflammation in sensitive skin. Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil A lightweight lipid that dissolves oil-based impurities without clogging pores, leaving a silky-smooth finish.
How to Use
Turn the dial clockwise to grind out the desired amount. Apply to dry skin and massage. Add a splash of water to physically emulsify the balm into a milky liquid, then rinse. Pro Tip: This is the ultimate ""Hygienic First Cleanse."" Because it's never exposed to air or fingers, it's physically safer for acne-prone skin that is sensitive to bacterial transfer.
