{"product_id":"dr-althea-pore-refresh-grinding-cleansing-balm","title":"Dr.Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm, 50ml","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBalm cleansers are formulated to melt on contact with skin, shifting from a solid or semi-solid texture into an oil that dissolves makeup, sunscreen and sebum before a water-based cleanser follows. Dr.Althea's Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm fits this format, built around green tea extract and rice bran oil as its primary base, alongside guaiazulene, a compound naturally derived from botanical sources and used here for its characteristic blue-green tint and its association with calming formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAs a first-cleanse step, a balm like this is designed to work specifically on oil-based residue — sunscreen, makeup and the day's accumulated sebum — that a water-based cleanser alone does not fully remove. This \"double cleansing\" approach, using an oil or balm cleanser followed by a foam or gel cleanser, is a well-established convention in Korean skincare routines, and the \"grinding\" texture reference in this product's name points to its semi-solid, massageable consistency before it emulsifies with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWithin a routine, this balm is applied to dry skin, massaged to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then emulsified with water and rinsed before a second, water-based cleanser follows. Customers who wear daily sunscreen or makeup — a near-universal habit in the UAE given daily sun exposure — are the typical audience for a balm cleanser like this as the first step of an evening routine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr.Althea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52553531850972,"sku":"8809447255620","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/8085\/6284\/files\/Dr.AltheaPoreRefreshGrindingCleansingBalm_50mljar.jpg?v=1789979787","url":"https:\/\/www.roverisland.com\/products\/dr-althea-pore-refresh-grinding-cleansing-balm","provider":"Rover Island","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
