Dr Althea

Pore refresh grinding cleansing balm

£21

A pore-clearing cleansing balm with a built-in grinder that dispenses a fresh, mess-free amount every time. It melts into a silky oil that dissolves makeup, SPF and the oil and grime that clog pores, then rinses away cleanly. Green tea and guaiazulene help calm redness while you cleanse.

Best for: Oily, combination and congested skin, blackheads and enlarged-looking pores. Also gentle enough for sensitive skin. Fragrance-free and vegan.

Key ingredients

  • Rice bran and jojoba oils: melt away makeup, SPF and excess oil.
  • Green tea extract: helps balance oil.
  • Sodium guaiazulene sulfonate: a calming ingredient from chamomile that soothes redness.
  • Neem, turmeric, holy basil and aloe: botanical extracts that help keep skin clear and calm.

How to use

With dry hands, twist to dispense the balm. Massage over dry skin to melt away makeup and SPF, paying extra attention to congested areas. Add a little water and keep massaging until it turns milky, then rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser. Avoid the eyes.

Why BTY loves it
