ACWELL Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner

The ACWELL Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner is one of Korea’s most beloved multi-functional toners, celebrated for its ability to gently cleanse, brighten, and restore the skin’s natural pH in a single step. Formulated at a skin-friendly pH of 5.5, this toner effectively removes residual impurities and traces left after cleansing without stripping the skin of its natural moisture — leaving it clean, calm, and perfectly prepped for the rest of your skincare routine.

The star of this formula is Licorice Root Water, which forms a significant portion of the base alongside regular water. Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) is a well-known K-beauty superstar prized for its dual action — it is one of the safest and most effective skin-brightening agents available, helping to inhibit melanin production and fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and post-acne marks over time. It is also a potent anti-inflammatory, making it ideal for calming redness, sensitivity, and irritated skin. Further reinforcing these benefits is Licorice Root Extract, which adds another concentrated layer of brightening and soothing activity.

Supporting the licorice base is a rich botanical complex: Paeonia Albiflora (Peony) Root Extract adds a natural luminosity boost, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract delivers antioxidant protection and helps calm pigmentation from acne scars or sun damage, Guava Leaf Extract refines and tightens pores, and Rose Flower Extract soothes and softens the skin. Glycerin and Butylene Glycol ensure the toner stays hydrating rather than drying, while Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) provides antioxidant defense. The formula is alcohol-free, hypoallergenic tested, and gentle enough for everyday use on all skin types.
