ETUDE SoonJung pH5.5 Relief Toner is a gentle, pH‑balanced hydrating toner formulated with panthenol and madecassoside to soothe and support sensitive skin.

This lightweight, vegan facial toner is blended to a skin-friendly pH of 5.5 and made up of 98.3% moisturizing ingredients for fast absorption and lasting comfort. The formula avoids 10 common additives, emphasizing a minimal, calming approach to hydration and barrier support. Packaged in a generous 16.90 fl oz size, it’s designed as a daily prep step after cleansing to help skin feel moisturized and less reactive to environmental stressors.

How does this toner help sensitive or easily irritated skin?

The SoonJung toner centers on two calming actives: panthenol to help strengthen the skin barrier and madecassoside to reduce sensations of irritation. Its pH 5.5 balance keeps the skin environment stable, while the high share of moisturizing ingredients prevents tightness without heavy residue.

• Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) for barrier resilience and hydration retention
• Madecassoside to soothe areas prone to redness and reactivity
• pH 5.5 supports natural skin chemistry
• Light, fast-absorbing watery texture suitable for layered routines

What makes the formula clean and suitable for vegan routines?

The toner is formulated without animal‑derived ingredients and omits ten common additives often avoided in cleaner skincare routines. That list includes mineral oil, parabens, synthetic pigments and certain surfactants, aiming to reduce potential irritants while keeping performance.

• Free of animal-derived ingredients and fragrance
• No parabens, silicone oils, or synthetic dyes
• Excludes PEG surfactants and polyacrylamide
• Supports a minimalist, vegan-friendly regimen

How should I use the toner in my daily skincare workflow?

After cleansing, apply the toner to slightly damp or dry skin to restore moisture and prepare the face for serums or creams. Use a few drops on the palms and press into skin, or soak a cotton pad for a targeted sweep; both methods deliver hydration and help subsequent layers absorb better.

• Morning and evening after cleansing
• Pat on with hands or apply with cotton for gentle exfoliation-free refresh
• Follow with a serum and moisturizer to lock in benefits
• Large 16.90 fl oz bottle suits frequent use or multi-step routines

Will this toner feel heavy or sticky on my skin?

The product is described as a refreshing water-like formula that absorbs quickly and leaves a non-sticky finish. Its high proportion of moisturizing components delivers hydration without a greasy film, so it layers well under makeup or sunscreens.

• Refreshing watery texture with fast absorption
• Non-greasy finish ideal for daytime routines
• Helps reduce sensation of dryness while staying lightweight
• Suitable as a prep step for makeup application
