Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner: AHA + BHA at a Glance
The **Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner** is a gentle toner with plum water and mung bean extract that removes dead skin cells as well as sebum from the pores and the skin’s surface.
Our skin undergoes a renewal process every 28 days, during which cell regeneration and the shedding of dead skin cells occur repeatedly. When dead skin cells on the skin’s surface clog the pores, inflammation can occur inside the pores, leading to darkening of the skin.
The main ingredient in this toner is plum, which has long been used in herbal medicine. In skincare, plum helps remove dead skin cells and smooth the skin’s texture, working in wonderful synergy with mung bean extract—a skin-soothing ingredient—and the chemical exfoliants AHA and BHA.
The Green Plum Toner is ideal for use in the morning and evening as the first step in your skincare routine to remove residual impurities and smooth the skin’s appearance. It not only removes impurities but also improves the skin’s condition, allowing subsequent skincare products to be absorbed more effectively.
Who is the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner suitable for?
The Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner is suitable for all skin types, especially dry and blemish-prone skin.
Active Ingredients
25% Green Plum Water + 2% Mung Bean Extract "Donguibogam," a book on herbal medicine from the Joseon Dynasty, states that plums lower body temperature, calm the mind, and help relieve thirst and diarrhea. Throughout Korean history, plums and mung beans have been used as remedies to treat stomachaches or to eliminate toxins from the body. Plum water and mung bean extract, as skin-nourishing ingredients, help smooth the skin’s texture and provide moisture.
AHA+BHA—a blend of 2% glycolic acid and 0.5% salicylic acid—allows you to use the toner every morning and evening to remove dead skin cells without irritating your skin. It’s formulated with a gentle blend containing low concentrations of chemical exfoliants and plant extracts, rather than relying on excessively high concentrations of AHA and BHA to achieve stronger results.
