Product details

A brown jar of Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Toner Pad on a cream table against a warm taupe wall, beside licorice root slices, a bamboo stalk and a few drops of toner

Soothe + brighten

Double-sided toner pads soaked in Acwell’s licorice toner, for a gentle low-pH reset that leaves skin moist, smooth and clear-looking.

Acwell soaks each pad in the same licorice water toner as its best-selling pH Balancing Toner, with licorice root water second on the list at 97,001 ppm. Betaine, glycerin and allantoin smooth dry, rough patches, and the mildly acidic formula is made for daily use on sensitive skin. Each pad has a bamboo side and an aloe side, bonded with water rather than chemicals.

  3. 3

    Pack

    For extra calm, leave the pad on dry or sensitive areas for 5 to 10 minutes, then pat in what’s left.
