ACWELL
★ K-BEAUTY DERM · pH BALANCING
THE BALANCE OF
pH, CHANGES EVERYTHING.
ACWELL is a K-beauty derm-cosmetic brand that has become a reference for balancing skin pH. Its promise: to restore the skin's natural acidic pH (around 5.5) with formulas based on anti-blemish licorice. The hero product, the Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner, is a cult favorite for combination and blemish-prone skin.
★ THE ACWELL SIGNATURE
THE RIGHT pH, A FULLY ACTIVE INGREDIENT
Balanced skin pH, the starting point of healthy skin.
ACWELL starts from a dermatological observation: skin with destabilized pH tolerates treatments less well and inflames more easily. The brand formulates all its products around a pH close to 5.5 (that of healthy skin), with a focus on licorice as an active ingredient.
✦ PILLAR 01
LICORICE
ACWELL's star active ingredient: licorice extract, known for its brightening (anti-spot) and anti-inflammatory properties. At the heart of the Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner.
✦ PILLAR 02
pH 5.5
The formulas are calibrated to the natural pH of healthy skin. No acidic or alkaline shock, skin soothed at every step.
A brand that doesn't revolutionize cosmetics but performs the fundamental act better than most: balancing to better care.

ACWELL FAQ
Everything you need to know about K-beauty pH Balancing with licorice.
Which ACWELL product to start with?
The Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner. It’s the brand’s global bestseller: a gentle licorice toner that balances skin pH, removes cleansing residues, and prepares the skin for subsequent treatments.
Who is this brand for?
Ideal for combination skin, blemished skin, or skin marked by post-acne spots. Licorice is known for its gentle brightening and anti-inflammatory action. Also very suitable for normal skin.
Why does pH matter?
The natural pH of healthy skin is around 5.5 (slightly acidic). Many cleansers disrupt this pH towards alkaline, which weakens the barrier and promotes blemishes. A pH-balanced toner restores this balance.
Is licorice suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it’s actually one of its strengths. Licorice is anti-inflammatory and well tolerated. As always, do a patch test on the inside of your elbow before first use.
How to use the ACWELL toner?
After cleansing, on cotton or hands, apply to the entire face. You can also use it as a compress (cotton soaked and placed on blemished areas) for a few minutes to intensify the effect.
Are ACWELL products on Ma Petite Corée authentic?
Yes, 100%. Ma Petite Corée has been based in Seoul since 2017 and sources directly. Every product is new, sealed, and shipped from Korea, with no customs fees charged to you in the EU.
