[BeautyOfJoseon] Green Plum Refreshing Toner : AHA + BHA 150ml

Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner: AHA + BHA 150ml

1. Product Overview

A refreshing, dual-acid exfoliating toner that helps clear accumulated dead skin cells, manage excess sebum and reveal smoother, brighter-looking skin.

Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner combines the exfoliating benefits of 2% glycolic acid (AHA) and 0.5% salicylic acid (BHA) with traditional Korean botanical ingredients to support a clearer, more refined complexion.

Formulated with 25% green plum water and 2% mung bean extract, this lightweight toner helps refresh the skin while supporting moisture and skin comfort.

Glycolic acid works on accumulated surface dead skin cells, helping improve the appearance of roughness and uneven texture. Salicylic acid provides additional pore-focused exfoliation, making the formula particularly relevant to skin prone to excess oil, blackheads and congestion.

Its watery texture absorbs easily, preparing the skin for the next steps in your skincare routine without a heavy finish.

2. Why We Chose It

At Glass Ritual, we select skincare that addresses specific concerns with purposeful ingredients and a clear place in the routine.

We chose Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner for its balanced combination of AHA and BHA exfoliation, botanical skin conditioning and lightweight application.

Blackheads and clogged pores can develop when excess sebum combines with accumulated dead skin cells. Addressing this buildup is an important part of a pore-care routine.

The combination of glycolic acid and salicylic acid allows this toner to target both surface texture and pore-related congestion.

Green plum water and mung bean extract complement the exfoliating ingredients with moisturising and skin-conditioning support.

It earns its place in our Pore Care & Blackheads Collection as a dual-acid exfoliating toner for customers concerned about blackheads, uneven skin texture and excess oil.

For sensitive or dry skin: This formula contains 2% glycolic acid and 0.5% salicylic acid. Although the supplier describes it as mild, exfoliating acids can cause dryness, stinging or irritation in some individuals.

Introduce gradually and adjust frequency according to your skin’s response.

5. How to Use

1. Begin with thoroughly cleansed skin.
2. Dispense an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad or into clean hands.
3. If using a cotton pad, gently wipe across the face from the centre outwards, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
4. If applying with your hands, gently pat the toner into the skin until absorbed.
5. Follow with your preferred hydrating serum and moisturiser.

Frequency: The supplier recommends morning and evening use. However, if you are new to exfoliating acids, begin two to three times weekly and increase only as your skin tolerates.

Avoid aggressive wiping or using additional exfoliating treatments unnecessarily.

6. Ritual Position

Step: Tone & Exfoliate

Use after cleansing and before serum and moisturiser.

Morning: Apply as tolerated, followed by hydrating skincare, moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Evening: Use after cleansing to help manage accumulated dead skin cells, excess oil and uneven texture.

Because this toner contains both glycolic acid and salicylic acid, it should be considered an active exfoliating treatment rather than a basic hydrating toner.

For a balanced routine, avoid unnecessary overlap with other AHA, BHA or exfoliating pad treatments.

7. Glass Ritual Pairing

For evening makeup and sunscreen removal: Begin with BANILA CO Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original, followed by a suitable gentle water-based cleanser.

For a balanced cleansing routine: Use a non-exfoliating cleanser before applying this toner to minimise unnecessary overlap between exfoliating ingredients.

For hydration: Follow with a hydrating serum to help replenish moisture after exfoliation.

For moisturising comfort: Complete your routine with Dr.G R.E.D Blemish Clear Soothing Cream to support hydration and skin comfort.

Glass Ritual routine:

Cleanser → Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner → Hydrating Serum → Moisturiser

Daytime: Finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
