Key actives
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extractplant 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. The name on the box points at it, and it is named thirteenth on this essence's own ingredient list.
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrateferment
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate is a brewers yeast ferment filtered clear. It supplies amino acids, B vitamins and sugars, and it is one of the ferments the Korean essence category was built on. The panel names it fourth on this essence's list, beside Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract.
Yeast Extractferment
The soluble contents of yeast cells, carrying amino acids, peptides, sugars and B vitamins. It is used as a conditioning ingredient and as a source of beta glucan. It is named eighteenth on this essence's list, alongside Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract.
Beta-Glucanpolysaccharide
Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide from oats or yeast. It holds a large amount of water, forms a soothing film, and is one of the ingredients formulators reach for in products aimed at reactive skin. It is named thirty-first on this essence's list, alongside Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract.
Eclipta Prostrata Extractplant extract
Eclipta Prostrata is false daisy, long used in Ayurvedic and East Asian practice. Its extract is used as a conditioning plant extract, most often in scalp and hair formulas. The panel names it fifteenth on this essence's list, beside Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract.
How to use
- Spray several pumps over the face after your toner, press in with your palms, then follow with a moisturizer. Reapply over makeup as needed through the day.
Where does this essence go in my routine?
After toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. Anything thinner than an essence goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market essence or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and all. We match this essence to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract?
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Yeast Extract and Beta-Glucan. The order they are printed in on this essence's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Royal Jelly Extract and Cordyceps Sinensis Extract.

How it works
The Licorice pH Balancing Essence Mist is a 100ml essence, used after toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. The plant extract it is built around is Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, named thirteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Yeast Extract and Beta-Glucan, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the essence format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the essence ACWELL sells in Korea, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and all.
Worth knowing
- Keep the nozzle clean for an even spray.
- Always follow with a moisturizer in a full routine.
