- Hygienic grinder dispenser — twist to dispense, no fingers in the jar, no contamination.
- 8 fruit extracts (pomegranate, blackcurrant, sea buckthorn, wild strawberry, acerola, acai, kakadu plum and cranberry powder) for antioxidant care and a fresh, radiant-looking finish.
- Removes makeup, SPF and excess sebum without a stripping, tight, or over-cleansed feeling.
- Lithospermum erythrorhizon (gromwell) root extract — a classic Korean botanical used for its soothing and skin-conditioning properties.
Melts makeup and SPF
The balm-to-oil texture helps dissolve sunscreen, makeup, excess sebum and daily build-up, making it ideal as the first step in an evening double cleanse. Apply on dry skin, massage to dissolve impurities, then add water to emulsify and rinse.
Purifies without stripping
The silky milk finish rinses away cleanly, leaving skin feeling refreshed and comfortable rather than tight, dry or over-cleansed. Suitable for everyday evening use.
8-fruit antioxidant complex
Pomegranate, blackcurrant, sea buckthorn, wild strawberry, acerola, acai, kakadu plum and cranberry powder help support a fresh, radiant-looking finish and provide antioxidant care during the cleanse step.
Hygienic grinder packaging
The grinder-style dispenser releases the balm with a simple clockwise twist — no need to dip fingers into a jar, helping keep the product fresh, clean and hygienic throughout use.
Texture
Starts as a sherbet-style solid balm, melts into a silky cleansing oil on dry skin, then transforms into a soft milky cleanser when water is added. It rinses clean and leaves the complexion feeling smooth, fresh and residue-free — no heavy or greasy finish.
How to use
Use on dry skin with dry hands. Twist the grinder clockwise to dispense a small amount of balm. Massage gently over the face in circular motions, focusing on makeup, SPF and areas of congestion. Add a little water to emulsify into a milky texture. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Follow with a water-based cleanser as your second cleanse. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If irritation occurs, stop use and consult a healthcare professional.
Skin type
Best for normal, combination, oily, dull and congested skin, and for daily SPF and makeup wearers who want a first cleanse that removes impurities while leaving skin feeling fresh and soft.
Patch testing is recommended before first use, especially if your skin is very reactive or sensitive to botanical fruit extracts.

Routine placement
Evening (first cleanse): HOUSE OF HUR Purifying Cleansing Balm → Water-Based Cleanser → Toner → Serum → Moisturiser.
For mornings, a balm cleanser is usually not needed unless removing overnight residue or heavier skincare. It pairs well with gentle foam or gel cleansers, calming toners, pore serums, lightweight moisturisers and daily sunscreen.
FAQ
Is it good for removing SPF?
Yes. It is designed to dissolve sunscreen and daily build-up as the first step of a double cleanse.
Can it remove makeup?
Yes. It helps melt away makeup including base makeup and daily eye makeup. Very stubborn waterproof mascara may still need a separate eye makeup remover.
Do I use it on wet or dry skin?
On dry skin with dry hands first — then add water to emulsify before rinsing.
Do I need a second cleanser after this?
Yes, for evening routines especially after SPF or makeup. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser for a complete double cleanse.
Is it greasy?
No. It transforms into a milky texture with water and rinses away cleanly without heavy greasy residue.
Is it suitable for oily skin?
Yes. It is a good option for oily and combination skin because it helps remove excess sebum and sunscreen without a stripping finish.
How does the grinder packaging work?
Twist the top clockwise to dispense the balm, then apply the released amount onto dry skin.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin should patch test first. The formula includes botanical fruit extracts and cleansing oils, so very reactive skin should introduce it carefully.
Who is this best for?
Best for normal, combination, oily, congested, SPF-wearing or makeup-wearing skin that wants an effective Korean first-cleanse balm with a clean, non-greasy rinse.
