What it is
Dr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm 50ml is a rinse-off cleansing balm with a twist-to-dispense grinding format. Dr.Althea’s current official formula contains 14 ingredients, including plant oils, madecassoside, Centella asiatica extract and asiaticoside.
Primary job
Remove sunscreen, makeup and other oil-soluble residue as a cleansing step before rinsing.
SIMPLI VERDICT
A practical choice if you want a balm-format first cleanse, especially for sunscreen or makeup removal. You do not need a cleansing balm simply because double cleansing is popular; if one gentle cleanser already removes what you wear without leaving residue, keep the simpler routine.
Best for
Customers who regularly wear sunscreen or makeup and prefer a balm that emulsifies with water before rinsing.
Consider another option if
You rarely wear water-resistant sunscreen or makeup and your existing cleanser already removes your daily products comfortably, or you prefer a different first-cleanse texture.
How to use
- Twist clockwise to dispense the desired amount.
- Massage over dry skin to dissolve sunscreen or makeup.
- Add a little water to emulsify.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Start-Safe
Use enough product to cleanse without aggressive rubbing. A second water-based cleanser is optional and should depend on residue, comfort and your routine rather than a fixed rule.

Common questions
Do I have to double cleanse after using it?
Not automatically. A second cleanser can make sense when you still feel residue or prefer a two-step cleanse, but routine complexity should serve a real need.
Does it remove waterproof products?
Dr.Althea currently positions the balm for removing sunscreen, makeup and waterproof products.
Is it guaranteed non-irritating for sensitive skin?
No cleanser can be guaranteed irritation-free for everyone. The brand positions it as gentle, but individual tolerance still matters.
