Brighten and balance your skin from start to finish.

Dull skin’s a drag. We’re all aware of this, especially during this time of the year when it seems every environmental factor is out there trying to dim our glow.

In an effort to liven and brighten up our skin, a few of us (we won’t name names) reach for illuminating primers and shiny highlighters. Of course, these products will momentarily hide the skin’s dullness, but at the end of the night when you double cleanse, the dullness will once again rear its head as your shimmer and glow make their way down the drain.

K-Beauty brand Acwell knows many of us, especially during the colder seasons, struggle with dryness, dullness, and a lackluster skin tone. But, they also know trying to cover these skin concerns with glowy makeup products is definitely not the way to deal with them.

Instead, the brand seeks to treat them at their sources with brightening and hydrating ingredients that promote a glow and balance our compromised and deprived skin barriers.

Lucky for us, Acwell’s helping us to brighten our skin from start to finish with their Licorice Trial Kit featuring 3 travel-sized award winners, their Licorice pH Balancing Advance Serum, Licorice pH Balancing Intensive Eye Cream, and Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner for an instant hydrating and brightening boost.

Ready to dive into how the balancing and brightening Acwell line eradicates unwanted dullness? Let’s go!

Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Advance Serum

Acwell’s kit is all about balancing and brightening the skin, so it’s a no-brainer that it contains a travel size of their 2021 Best of K-Beauty® award winner.

Much like it’s Licorice pH Balancing line siblings, the lightweight fast-absorbing serum is formulated with brightening licorice root extract and licorice root water. However, this serum departs from its family due to the inclusion of Pycnogenol, AKA pine bark extract, in its formula.

It might sound odd to use tree bark in skin care, but its high antioxidant content makes it a soon-to-be staple ingredient in the beauty world. Together, Pycnogenol and licorice work to moisturize, even, and fight off free radical damage for a refined, bright complexion.

Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Intensive Eye Cream

Nothing says dull, tired skin like dark, dry under eyes.

Packed with licorice, peptides, squalane, and caffeine, the two travel sized Licorice pH Balancing Intensive Eye Creams hydrate and depuff tired eyes for a refreshed look.

Unlike other depuffing eye creams, this creamy moisturizing favorite also works to dispel under eye hyperpigmentation thanks to licorice root’s ability to block melanin producing enzymes.

Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner

Old school powerful astringent toners often leave the skin a bit tight or squeaky clean. But, Acwell knows this is definitely not how it should be.

This powerful cleansing toner is perfect for all skin types due to its pH of 5.5, and moisturizes as it cleans, meaning there’s no stripped feeling after usage. Kick dullness and pigmentation to the curb with potent levels of green tea, peony extract, and of course, licorice.

We love this toner’s ability to create a moisturizing layer on the skin while it cleanses and prepares the skin for the rest of our skin care routine.
