Editorial verdict

The Beauty of Joseon Refreshing Toner, featuring green plum extract, AHA, and BHA, is designed to be a gentle exfoliating toner suitable for daily use. Niacinamide further supports skin brightening and barrier function, while ingredients like panthenol and allantoin aim to soothe the skin. The presence of multiple essential oils derived from citrus fruits suggests a refreshing scent, but individuals with sensitive skin should exercise caution due to the potential for irritation from these ingredients. Overall, this toner appears to be a good option for those seeking mild exfoliation and improved skin tone without harshness, provided their skin tolerates essential oils.
