Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner
![product review positives](/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Flike.b9e8de39.webp&w=64&q=75)
I received this product for free from Picky and Acwell in exchange for my honest review.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Price: $18/Rs 1399 for 150ml
Texture: Runny, watery and lightweight but does feel thick when applied on the face.
Usage: Can be used daily AM/PM. Can also be dispensed onto hands like a regular toner but the brand’s recommendation is to, after cleansing, soak a cotton pad with it and swipe it across the face. It will help remove everything (except for waterproof spf/makeup in my experience). If using as a first cleanse, follow up with a water-based cleanser.
Packaging: A dark brown, plastic bottle with a flip-top cap that can also be unscrewed.
Claims: Cleans, calms, and brightens the skin
Alcohol/EOs/Colors/Fragrance: No
I was eagerly waiting for this one to arrive because I had heard so many good things about it from a lot of the creators I follow! I’ve been using this one for a little over 2 weeks right now in both my morning and night routine and it has not disappointed! It felt extremely runny when I dispensed it onto my hands, but once I started rubbing/patting it onto my face I felt like I was applying a moisturizing serum. The texture felt thick but absorbed very well without any stickiness, so I am guessing you can try layering this 2-3 times! It is light brown in colour and has a very herbal sort of smell, most likely from the 10% Licorice root water. It also contains green tea and a lot of other root and fruit extracts.
I feel like this really helps in balancing the oil production of my skin. Though I have dry skin, using oil-based serums and then spf lead to a bit of a greasy feel after a couple of hours but since I have started using this I’ve noticed that it has been a lot more controlled. In terms of calming effects, I do feel like it has helped reduce the redness of my acne marks and also improved skin texture. I cannot say much for the brightening effects since I have not used it long enough, but with toners the effect is usually very mild and long-term anyway so I was already not expecting much in that area.
Overall, I have been pretty happy with this toner and I can see what the hype is about. A lot of skin types and concerns can benefit from this, specially sensitive, oily, acne-prone types!

Nothing bad in my experience.
