ETUDE SoonJung pH5.5 Relief Toner 6.76 fl oz — Hydrating, Soothing Vegan Toner with Panthenol & Madecassoside

ETUDE SoonJung pH5.5 Relief Toner is a gentle, hydrating vegan facial toner formulated at skin-friendly pH 5.5 to soothe, strengthen, and moisturize sensitive skin.

This lightweight toner combines panthenol and madecassoside with a high proportion of moisturizing ingredients to calm irritation, support the skin barrier, and deliver fast-absorbing hydration. The formula avoids ten common additives and uses a mild, near-neutral acidity aimed at maintaining healthy skin balance after cleansing. Packaged in a 6.76 fl oz bottle, it suits daily use and layers easily under serums and moisturizers.

How does this toner calm redness and sensitivity?

The SoonJung toner focuses on barrier-repair ingredients rather than harsh actives. Panthenol nourishes and supports moisture retention while madecassoside soothes visible irritation, making the skin feel less reactive after use. The result is a calmer complexion without stripping or stinging.

• Contains panthenol to improve hydration and barrier resilience
• Includes madecassoside to help reduce signs of irritation
• Gentle, water-light texture that absorbs quickly

Why is pH 5.5 important for my skin routine?

Skin naturally functions best around a slightly acidic pH; a toner balanced to pH 5.5 helps preserve that environment. Using an acidic-balanced toner after cleansing supports natural protective mechanisms and reduces the risk of dryness and microbiome disruption. This makes it a practical step whether you have dry, combination, or sensitive skin types.

• Formulated to maintain skin's natural acidity at pH 5.5
• Helps prevent over-drying from alkaline cleansers
• Supports a healthy skin surface for better moisture retention

How hydrating is the SoonJung toner and how will it layer with other products?

About 92.96% of the formula is composed of moisturizing components, producing a refreshing, water-like feel that sinks in quickly. It acts as a lightweight hydrator and a prep layer, helping downstream serums and creams absorb more evenly. Because it is non-greasy and free of heavy occlusives, it pairs well with oils or thicker moisturizers when extra nourishment is needed.

• High moisture content for immediate hydration without stickiness
• Fast absorption that primes skin for serums and creams
• Works well under SPF or makeup as a breathable base

What does "10 Free" mean and is this toner vegan?

"10 Free" indicates the formula excludes ten commonly avoided additives, including fragrance, parabens, silicones, and animal-derived ingredients. The product is formulated without mineral oil, PEG surfactants, synthetic pigments, and several preservatives often linked to irritation. It is labeled vegan-friendly and designed for those seeking cleaner, gentler skincare choices.

• Free from fragrance, parabens, silicones, and more
• No animal-derived ingredients — suitable for vegan routines
• Minimalist formula aimed at reducing ingredient-triggered reactivity
