Formulated with \u003cstrong\u003eJojoba Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e, it 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Dr. Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleansing 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 Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm changes that equation — cleansing with the same intelligence you apply to the rest of your routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep Cleansing:\u003c\/strong\u003eRemoves makeup and impurities effectively without clogging pores.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSebum Control:\u003c\/strong\u003eGreen tea extract helps reduce excess oil for a refreshed look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydration Boost:\u003c\/strong\u003eSoybean and jojoba oils maintain moisture balance for soft, smooth skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoothes Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003eSodium guaiazulene sulfonate calms redness and irritation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003eCruelty-free, vegan, and free from artificial fragrance and colorants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTexture \u0026amp; Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilds into a luxurious, skin-kind lather that feels genuinely pleasurable each use.

Morning cleansing removes overnight sebum and skincare residue. Evening cleansing removes the day's pollution, SPF, and makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is double cleansing and should I do it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my skin feel tight after cleansing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePost-cleansing tightness indicates barrier disruption — caused by alkaline cleansers, hot water, or over-cleansing. Switching to a pH-balanced formula like Dr. Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm and using cooler water should resolve this within a few days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"QasrJamal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45906722455743,"sku":"KB2238","price":8.01,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/1646\/1759\/files\/Dr._Althea_Pore_Refresh_Grinding_Cleansing_Balm.png?v=1784843625","url":"https:\/\/kuwaitbeautyshop.com\/products\/dr-althea-pore-refresh-grinding-cleansing-balm-50g","provider":"Kuwait Beauty Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
