How it works
A cleansing toner is a lighter first pass than a cleansing oil or balm: it is meant to lift the day's residue and light makeup on a cotton pad, not to fully remove a heavy base alone. That lighter job is why it goes before a foam or gel cleanser rather than replacing it, the same double-cleanse logic behind most Korean evening routines. Judge it by whether the pad still picks up color after your face wash, which means the toner alone was not enough that day. Store it away from direct heat and sunlight and reseal it fully after each use, which keeps the formula working the way it is meant to for as long as the pack lasts. A fair trial means giving it the same handful of uses you would give any new step before deciding whether it earns a permanent place in your routine.
Key benefits
- What it is: acwell Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner 300ml from ACWELL, a Korean-market toner pad.
- On the ingredient list: Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Water, Tocopheryl Acetate, confirmed on this product's own manufacturer ingredient list rather than assumed from the category.
- Fits into the routine: belongs to a wipe-off toning step, used right after cleansing.
- ACWELL is a pH-balancing skincare brand built around licorice root extract and low-pH formulation.
- Original Korean Formula: the same version sold on shelves in Korea, not a US-shelf reformulation.
How to use
- Sweep a soaked cotton pad over the face in the evening to lift light makeup and daily residue, then follow with your regular cleanser.
Is this a toner I use after cleansing, or a makeup remover?
It is a cleansing toner, used before your regular face wash, not after. It is a lighter first pass that lifts light makeup and daily residue, and the actual cleanse still comes from your foam or gel cleanser afterward.
Do I still need to double cleanse?
Yes, at night. This step lifts light residue on a cotton pad; your regular cleanser is still what removes the rest, and skipping it leaves a film sitting on the skin.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?
This is the Korean-market formula, the same one sold on shelves in Korea rather than a version reformulated for US retail.
Can I use this if my skin runs sensitive?
This cleansing toner is formulated with skin types like normal or combination skin in mind, but any new product is worth a patch test first if your skin reacts easily. A short patch test on the inside of your arm or behind an ear before it goes on your face is worth doing, and that goes for sensitive skin most of all.
How long before I will know if this is right for my skin?
Give it a full week or two of consistent use before you judge, since a single use rarely tells you much either way. Watch for how skin feels and looks rather than for any specific number, and stop use if you notice ongoing irritation.

16 of 23 explained
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Dipropylene Glycol humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Phenoxyethanol preservative
- Phenoxyethanol is the most widely used cosmetic preservative outside the paraben family. It keeps a water-containing formula from growing bacteria and mould, and is capped at one percent in most markets, so it always sits low on a list.
- Rheum Palmatum Root Extract plant extract
- Chinese rhubarb root extract. The root carries anthraquinones and tannins, giving it an astringent character, and it can tint a formula yellow.
- Psidium Guajava Leaf Extract plant extract
- Guava leaf extract. The leaf is high in tannins and quercetin, more so than the fruit, and the extract is used as an astringent antioxidant botanical.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract plant extract
- Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine.
- Perilla Ocymoides Seed Extract plant extract
- Perilla seed extract, from the herb Korean cooking knows as kkaennip. The seed is high in omega-3 fatty acids and the extract carries rosmarinic acid.
- Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil fragrance component
- Bergamot Fruit Oil is a citrus essential oil and the top note of eau de cologne. It scents a formula; citrus oils are the aromatic class most likely to bother reactive skin.
- Sodium Citrate pH adjuster
- Sodium Citrate is the salt of citric acid, used as a buffer: it holds a formula at a steady pH rather than pushing it in one direction. It is also a mild chelator.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Citric Acid pH adjuster
- Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
4 more explained
- Tocopheryl Acetate antioxidant
- Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable vitamin E ester that skin converts to tocopherol. It is used as an antioxidant and a light emollient and holds up better than plain vitamin E in a formula.
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract plant extract
- Licorice Root Extract carries glabridin and liquiritin. It is one of the classic plant ingredients used for the look of uneven tone and redness, and it appears in almost every brightening formula that avoids synthetic actives.
- Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract plant extract
- White peony root extract, from the same plant also written Paeonia lactiflora. The root is the part used in East Asian herbal practice and carries paeoniflorin and tannins.
- Pueraria Lobata Root Extract plant extract
- Pueraria Lobata is kudzu. Its root extract carries isoflavones, plant compounds structurally similar to oestrogen, and Korean formulas use it for the look of thinning, less resilient skin.
