Key actives
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. The name on the box points at it, and it is named seventeenth on this toner pad's own ingredient list.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it thirteenth on this toner pad's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
Glycyrrhizic Acidactive
Glycyrrhizic Acid is the sweet-tasting saponin that gives licorice root its flavour. It is the licorice fraction used for the look of reddened skin. The panel names it twenty-fifth on this toner pad's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
Malt Extractplant extract
Malt Extract comes from sprouted barley and carries sugars, amino acids and B vitamins. It is used as a conditioning, hydrating extract. The panel names it sixteenth on this toner pad's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
Arginineamino acid
Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster. The panel names it twelfth on this toner pad's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
How to use
- After cleansing, sweep one pad gently over the face, avoiding the eye area, then follow with your serum or moisturizer.
Where does this toner pad go in my routine?
Use one pad from it straight after cleansing, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a toner pad 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 Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market toner pad or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and all. We match this toner pad to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this toner pad contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this toner pad is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate?
Allantoin, Glycyrrhizic Acid and Malt Extract. The order they are printed in on this toner pad's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Arginine.

How it works
The Licorice pH Balancing Toner Pad 70ea/ is a 160ml toner pad, used use one pad from it straight after cleansing, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, named seventeenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Glycyrrhizic Acid and Malt Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the toner pad format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the toner pad ACWELL sells in Korea, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner pad on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
