## Key benefits

- Oil-to-balm texture that melts on skin contact
- Rice bran, camellia and jojoba oils carry the cleanse
- Niacinamide, Allantoin and Panthenol for calming
- Fermented ingredients and Centella Asiatica in the base
- Sourced with intact Korean-market packaging and batch coding rather than repackaged for a US-only release

## How it works

The balm melts from a solid oil base, carried by rice bran, camellia seed and jojoba oils, into a lightweight cleansing oil on contact with warm skin, lifting makeup and sunscreen before the second cleanse. Niacinamide, Allantoin and Panthenol sit in the base for calming, alongside fermented ingredients (Bifida and Lactobacillus ferment filtrates) and Centella Asiatica Extract, so the first cleanse does not strip the skin the way a purely oil-based balm can. It is meant to be rinsed thoroughly with lukewarm water rather than hot, since hot water alone can undercut what a gentler surfactant base is built to avoid. This particular listing is the 120ml size TIRTIR sells for the line, packaged and formulated for the Korean market rather than a separate US release.

## How to use

1. Scoop a small amount with dry fingers or a spatula, warm it between the palms, then massage over dry skin to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. Add a little water to emulsify before rinsing, and follow with a water-based cleanser for the second step.

## FAQ

### Do I still need a second cleanser after this?

Yes, for a full double cleanse. This balm is the oil-based first step meant to lift makeup and sunscreen; a water-based cleanser afterward removes any remaining residue and sweat. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.

### Will this leave an oily residue?

Adding a small amount of water before rinsing emulsifies the balm into a milky texture that rinses cleanly, rather than leaving the oily film a straight oil cleanser can. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.

### Is this gentle enough for sensitive skin?

The formula leans on Niacinamide, Panthenol, Allantoin and Centella Asiatica for calming, which is a supportive base, though anyone with reactive skin should still patch test any new cleanser. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.

### Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?

This is TIRTIR's Korean-market formula, sourced and shipped with its original Korean-market packaging and batch coding rather than a separate US-reformulated version. Korean Pharmacy stocks the exact SKU sold through Korean retail rather than a substitute built for US shelves, which is the point of buying from a specialist rather than a general beauty retailer.

### How should I store this to keep it in good condition?

Keep the cap or compact closed between uses and store it away from direct sunlight and heat, the same way you would any cosmetic. A cool, dry spot such as a drawer or cabinet keeps the texture and finish consistent for longer than leaving it exposed on a warm windowsill or in a hot car.
