Dr.G Green Deep Pore Cleansing Balm

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-04

What is this product?

Dr.G's Green Deep Pore Cleansing Balm is an oil-heavy sherbet balm that genuinely removes makeup, and that is where its evidence stops. Its 40-ingredient label really does carry the eight entries printed with 오일 that the brand sells as its 그린 아보카도 오일 blend, including the four it names, 포도씨오일, 녹차씨오일, 마카다미아씨오일 and 아보카도오일, but the pore and exfoliation claims do not check out, because Dr.G asserts a human application study and a 99.96% particulate result while giving no institution, no panel size, no date, and no baseline or denominator for that figure.

What makes it different?

Two things define it. It is oil-dense rather than ester-light, stacking eight 오일 entries on a four-ester base, and you use it dry, massage about thirty seconds, emulsify with a little water and rinse warm; it leaves enough behind that a water-based wash afterwards is worth it, though Dr.G does not print that step. The other is the gap between what it claims and what you can check: a human application study with three endpoint families and a four-figure particulate result, with no institution, no panel size and no date behind any of it, and no pH or ingredient amounts published either.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 1 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Worth a closer look

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hexyl Laurate

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 7 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them looks likely, though none are proven outright.
