REVIEW: Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner

When your skin is acting out, or feeling a little sensitive, that's the time when you need something pure and gentle like the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner. A little backstory: Pyunkang Yul is a skincare brand developed by the famed Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic in Korea. Along with their simple packaging, they are renowned for not using any unnecessary, harsh chemical substances and only using minimal, clean ingredients in their products.

Ingredients

This is a waterless toner with only 7 ingredients, so all benefits you get from this toner comes from its gentle and clean ingredients used, and the 91.3% milk vecht root extract. The nourishing and soothing Milk vecht root extract is known for its antioxidizing, anti-inflammatory and nutrient-boosting properties.

How to Use

After cleansing, apply a small amount to either a cotton pad or directly to the palms and gently pat onto the skin. Follow with the rest of your routine.

Texture & Scent

The Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner is exactly what the name implies, an essence and toner in one. Unlike most toners that have a watery texture, this toner has a satisfying, thicker-than-water consistency that doesn't leave any sticky or tacky feeling on the skin. It provides a nice cushiony slip that will allow your next skincare items to absorb better into the skin.

Results

Good toners can do more than just hydrate your skin. The Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner can heal damaged skin, strength your skin’s moisture barrier while providing anti-ageing benefits. I have been using this for about a month now and I do think it has really helped smooth and even out my skin texture, and helped made my skin healthier in general. I’ve also noticed how this toner has helped in combating the dry patches I have on my cheeks, and my skin is left looking fresh and plump. I also love how soothing this toner is, so when my skin is acting up from new products or overexfoliation, this toner manages to revert that any burning or itchy sensation the moment I put it on.
