How it works
An eye cream is formulated lighter and applied in a much smaller amount than a face cream, since the skin around the eyes is thinner and more easily overloaded. It is patted rather than rubbed, using the ring finger, which naturally applies less pressure than the others. Judge it on how the under-eye area looks in the mirror after consistent nightly use rather than after one application. 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. Consistency across days does more for a fair read than any single application, since a genuine change in how skin looks or feels builds gradually rather than all at once.
Key benefits
- What it is: Licorice pH Balancing Intensive Eye Cream 30ml from ACWELL, a Korean-market eye cream.
- On the ingredient list: Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Water, Niacinamide, Squalane, Centella Asiatica Extract, confirmed on this product's own manufacturer ingredient list rather than assumed from the category.
- Fits into the routine: belongs to the eye-care step, applied around the orbital bone after serum and before the rest of moisturizer.
- 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.
Key actives
Niacinamide
A brightening and barrier-supporting vitamin B3 derivative used widely in Korean formulas, chosen for a more even, comfortable-feeling surface rather than for any single dramatic overnight change.
Adenosine
A soothing, skin-conditioning ingredient common in Korean ampoules and creams, included at a cosmetic level meant to calm and condition the surface rather than to correct anything medically.
Centella Asiatica
A cica extract long used in Korean skincare for its calming, skin-conditioning reputation, chosen for stressed or reactive-feeling skin that wants a gentler formula in its routine.
Glycyrrhiza
A licorice root extract prized in Korean formulas for its soothing, brightening-adjacent reputation, giving a formula a gentler feel on skin than a more active-forward alternative would.
Licorice
A soothing botanical extract that gives Korean toners and serums a calmer, less reactive feel, and is one of the signature ingredients this line is built around.
How much Licorice pH Balancing Intensive Eye Cream 30ml should I use?
A very small amount, about a grain of rice for both eyes, patted in with the ring finger rather than rubbed. As with any new step, give it a fair, consistent trial of a week or two before you decide whether to keep it in your routine, and stop if you notice ongoing irritation rather than pushing through it.
Can I use my regular face cream instead?
You can, but an eye cream is formulated lighter for thinner skin, so it is less likely to feel heavy or migrate into the eye than a face cream applied in the same spot.
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 eye cream is formulated with skin types like normal or dry 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.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
