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.

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.

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.
Worth knowing
- Avoid the eye area, and use a separate eye makeup remover for stubborn mascara.
- It is a first pass, not a full cleanse; always follow with your regular cleanser at night.
