Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm — Korean Double Cleanse Balm with Centella & Camellia Oil

This luxurious balm starts as a solid and melts on contact with skin into a silky cleansing oil. It lifts even waterproof makeup and heavy SPF without harsh rubbing or foaming agents. The formula is built around skin-loving botanicals — Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil, Centella Asiatica, and Madecassoside — that clean deeply while actively soothing the skin barrier. Rinse off with warm water and it emulsifies to a milky finish, leaving zero greasy residue. Perfect as the first step in a Korean double-cleanse routine.
