Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm
What Type of Product Is This?
It’s an oil-based cleansing balm designed to:
• Remove makeup (even waterproof)
• Dissolve sunscreen
• Melt excess sebum
• Clean pores deeply
• Do it gently without stripping the skin
The “grinding” packaging keeps the balm hygienic by dispensing fresh product each time.
