Product details

Exfoliate + hydrate

Green plum water with a gentle AHA and BHA, in a wiping toner that leaves skin smooth and fresh.

Beauty of Joseon’s first-step toner sweeps away leftover waste and excess oil while it hydrates. Glycolic and salicylic acids smooth the look of skin texture, and mung bean extract keeps skin moisturized, so the next steps of your routine absorb better.
