ETUDE HOUSE Soon Jung Relief Toner 200ml

Short ingredient lists exist for a reason. When skin is reacting, every additional ingredient is another thing that might be the cause, and the soon jung relief toner answers that with fourteen ingredients and nothing decorative among them.

The two doing the work are panthenol, a pro-vitamin B5 humectant, and madecassoside, a Centella asiatica derivative. The brand calls the pairing Panthensoside. Around them sit propanediol, glycerin and betaine as hydrators, plus green tea leaf and scutellaria baicalensis root extracts.

The pH matters here too. At 5.5, the ETUDE HOUSE SoonJung pH 5.5 Relief Toner sits close to the skin's own mildly acidic range, which is part of why it does not sting on skin that stings at everything else.The texture is water-light and absorbs immediately. Etude House shoppers in Canada usually find the Soon Jung line after something else has gone wrong.
