How it works
The Licorice First Essence is a 200ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The plant extract it is built around is Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, named first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin and Sodium Hyaluronate, 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 toner format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the toner Hyaah sells in Korea, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and all.
How to use
- Use the Licorice First Essence straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp.
- Apply as first skincare step and layer as needed for daily routine, or soak cotton pad sufficiently and use as hydrating face mask for 10 minutes for intensive moisture treatment.
- It goes on before serum and moisturizer, and the damp layer it leaves is what the step above it holds on to.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not let it dry down completely before the next layer goes on, or you lose the reason for applying it to damp skin.
Where does this toner go in my routine?
Straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. Anything thinner than a toner 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 toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and all. We match this toner 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?
Allantoin and Sodium Hyaluronate. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract sits relative to them. Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract itself is named first on it.
Full INCI (3): Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract, Allantoin, Sodium Hyaluronate
Ingredient list read from inkeedecoder.com on 10 September 2026.
3 of 3 explained
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra 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.
- Allantoin active
- 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.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
