Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this cleansing balm suitable for very sensitive skin?
The Dr. Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm is formulated for all skin types. However, as with any new skincare product, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying it to your entire face, especially if you have a history of skin sensitivity.
How does the grinding mechanism work?
The grinding mechanism is built into the lid. Twisting the product clockwise grinds a fresh portion of the balm, dispensing it hygienically and ensuring optimal freshness with each use while minimizing waste.
Can this balm remove waterproof mascara and eyeliner?
Yes, this cleansing balm is effective at dissolving even long-wear and waterproof makeup, including mascara and eyeliner.
Do I need to follow up with a second cleanser?
While this balm effectively cleanses the skin, depending on your skin type and the amount of makeup worn, some users may prefer to follow up with a second water-based cleanser for a thorough double cleanse.
What are the key ingredients for pore care?
The balm contains ingredients like Rice Bran Oil and various botanical extracts such as Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, which help in purifying pores and providing antioxidant benefits.
How much product should I dispense per use?
Twist the product clockwise until you have dispensed enough balm to cover your face. Typically, one or two twists are sufficient, but you can adjust based on the amount of makeup you are wearing.
What is the shelf life of the product after opening?
The product is best used within 12 months of opening to ensure maximum efficacy and freshness, although specific expiration dates are usually printed on the packaging.
Troubleshooting
Product does not dispense when twisted.
Ensure the protective cap is fully removed and try twisting firmly.
Balm does not emulsify properly.
Ensure you are adding water gradually and massaging it in well. Use lukewarm water, not cold or hot.
Makeup is not fully removed.
Ensure sufficient product is used and massaged thoroughly into makeup areas. Allow the balm to sit on stubborn makeup for a few extra seconds before emulsifying.

While formulated to be hydrating, ensure you are rinsing thoroughly. If dryness persists, a follow-up hydrating toner or moisturizer is recommended.
