Imagine the most satisfying first cleanse of your double-cleanse routine — one that melts off the day effortlessly while actively refreshing and refining your pores. This is cleansing reimagined.

• Grinding cleansing technology — unique texture that deeply dislodges impurities and unclogs pores
• Balm-to-oil formula — melts on contact to dissolve makeup, SPF, and sebum effortlessly
• Pore-refreshing complex — visibly minimises the appearance of pores with regular use
• Skin-softening — leaves skin feeling smooth, nourished, and comfortable after rinsing
• 50ml — concentrated formula, ideal for travel or first-time use
• Suitable for all skin types, including oily and congested skin

How to Use

1. Start with dry hands and a dry face — do not wet skin before applying.
2. Scoop a small amount of balm (about the size of a hazelnut) using the spatula provided or clean fingertips.
3. Warm between fingertips until it begins to soften, then apply to the face.
4. Massage in gentle circular motions for 30–60 seconds — the grinding texture will work to dislodge impurities and unclog pores as you massage. Focus on congested areas like the nose, chin, and forehead.
5. Add a small amount of water to your fingertips and continue massaging — the balm will emulsify into a milky, silky oil texture.
6. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until all residue is removed.
7. Follow immediately with a water-based cleanser as the second step of your double cleanse.

Tip: The grinding texture is the key to this balm’s pore-clearing power — take your time with the massage step (a full 60 seconds) to allow the micro-particles to fully dislodge congestion before emulsifying and rinsing. Perfect as a travel-sized double cleanse essential.

Key Ingredients

• Grinding Cleansing Complex — Micro-particles embedded in the balm formula that physically dislodge deep-seated impurities, excess sebum, and pore-clogging debris during the massage step — delivering a deeper cleanse than standard balm or oil cleansers.
• Balm-to-Oil Emollient Base (Plant Oils & Waxes) — A rich blend of skin-nourishing oils and waxes that melt on contact with skin to dissolve oil-based impurities (makeup, SPF, sebum) using the “like dissolves like” principle, while conditioning and softening the skin during cleansing.
• Pore-Refreshing Actives — Targeted ingredients that work to minimise the appearance of pores, reduce congestion, and leave skin visibly clearer and more refined with regular use.
• Emulsifying Agents — Gentle surfactants that allow the balm to transform into a milky emulsion upon contact with water, ensuring a thorough, residue-free rinse without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
• Skin-Conditioning Actives — Nourishing ingredients that protect and soften the skin during the cleansing process, leaving it feeling comfortable, supple, and balanced — never tight or dry.
