Best cleansing balm I have tried

I have sensitive skin and a centella-based cleansing balm seemed ideal. The clever dispenser makes this the most practical cleansing balm I have used. Pores are cleaner and my skin texture is smoother with this as my first cleanser. Will repurchase forever. The grinding dispenser alone makes this worth it.

Really effective, grinder is stiff initially

I wear heavy makeup and sunscreen daily and need a first cleanser that removes everything. The balm has a beautiful soft, sorbet-like texture that melts instantly on dry skin. Hygienic dispenser makes it practical for daily use. Good overall. 4 stars because the grinder mechanism takes getting used to.

Good formula, unique dispenser

I have sensitive skin and a centella-based cleansing balm seemed ideal. When I add water it emulsifies into a milky lotion and rinses completely clean. Good makeup removal and centella soothing benefit. Good overall. 4 stars because the grinder mechanism takes getting used to.

My makeup comes off effortlessly

My previous cleansing balm kept getting contaminated from finger-scooping – this grinding design is brilliant. The grape seed oil adds antioxidants and nourishment to the cleansing experience. I wake up with better skin because I cleanse so thoroughly with this each evening. Worth every rupee for the hygienic design and formula.

Most innovative cleansing balm ever

I have tried many cleansing balms but the hygienic grinding dispenser makes this unique. The camellia oil dissolves every trace of makeup, foundation and heavy sunscreen. Stubborn sunscreen and heavy makeup dissolve completely with one application. Seoul Essence had this and delivery was excellent as always.

Grinder mechanism is frustrating

The grinding mechanism is too stiff and I struggle to use it properly. The grinder dispenser never worked smoothly and I wasted a lot of product. Could not use it consistently due to the packaging difficulties. Would have been great with a regular jar packaging.

Good formula, unique dispenser

The grinding dispenser on this Dr. Althea balm solves every cleansing balm problem I had. You twist the top grinder and a measured amount of balm drops into the cap. Good makeup removal and centella soothing benefit. Really effective balm – the grinder is stiff initially but loosens after a week.

Okay balm but packaging is challenging

Decent balm but the innovative packaging is more frustrating than innovative. The grinder dispenser never worked smoothly and I wasted a lot of product. Good balm formula but the grinder dispenser ruined the experience for me. Would have been great with a regular jar packaging.
