Dr. Althea Gentle Pore Vegan Cleansing Oil -150ml

Dr. Althea Gentle Pore Vegan Cleansing Oil (150ml) approaches face cleansing the way it should always be approached: as an act of skin care, not skin stripping. This expertly crafted formula removes every trace of makeup, SPF, excess sebum, and daily pollution while actively protecting the moisture barrier that so many cleansers damage. The result: skin that feels genuinely clean and genuinely comfortable, every time.

Why Dr. Althea Gentle Pore Vegan Cleansing Oil?

Cleansing is the most repeated step in any skincare routine — typically 700+ times a year. A cleanser that strips, over-dries, or disrupts pH doesn't just feel bad: it actively undoes the work of every serum and moisturiser that follows. Dr. Althea Gentle Pore Vegan Cleansing Oil changes that equation — cleansing with the same intelligence you apply to the rest of your routine.

Key Benefits

• Lightweight & Non-Greasy:Cleanses without leaving any greasiness or stickiness behind.
• Vegan & Natural Ingredients:Free from artificial colors and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Texture & Experience

Builds into a luxurious, skin-kind lather that feels genuinely pleasurable each use. Rinses completely clean without leaving any soapy film — skin feels balanced and instantly ready for toner and the rest of your routine.

How to Use

1. Take a moderate amount of cleansing oil and gently massage it onto your dry face.
2. Add a little water and massage for about 30 seconds to emulsify.
3. Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Who Is This For?

All skin types. Gentle enough for daily double-cleansing on sensitive skin, effective enough for thoroughly cleansing oily and acne-prone skin. Safe from age 13+.

Expert Tips for Best Results

• Always double-cleanse if you wear SPF or makeup: oil cleanser first, then this cleanser second.
• Never use hot water — it degrades the skin barrier. Lukewarm always.
• Apply toner immediately on damp skin after Dr. Althea Gentle Pore Vegan Cleansing Oil for dramatically better absorption.
• If using AHAs or retinol, always cleanse first — products on unclean skin are far less effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay to cleanse twice a day?

Dr. Althea Gentle Pore Vegan Cleansing Oil is formulated for gentle twice-daily use without causing dryness or barrier disruption. Morning cleansing removes overnight sebum and skincare residue. Evening cleansing removes the day's pollution, SPF, and makeup.

What is double cleansing and should I do it?

Double cleansing uses an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser to deeply cleanse the skin. It is especially important for anyone wearing SPF daily — water-based cleansers alone often fail to fully remove modern SPF formulas.

Why does my skin feel tight after cleansing?

Post-cleansing tightness indicates barrier disruption — caused by alkaline cleansers, hot water, or over-cleansing. Switching to a pH-balanced formula like Dr. Althea Gentle Pore Vegan Cleansing Oil and using cooler water should resolve this within a few days.
