Let’s talk about the Pyunkang Yul essence toner, a name so twisty, that it’s a good thing this isn’t a pronunciation test! Diving into the essence of my experience, let’s just say, for my skin—decked out in all its sensitive, eczema-prone glory—it was a bit like wearing a wool sweater on a summer day: overwhelming and itchy.Despite my hopes, my skin voted a resounding “nope,” lighting up with eczema as if to say, “Try again, but maybe not with us.”Plot twist: while it was a miss on my end, it found a loving home with my teenage daughter. To her, this toner is less of a skincare step and more of a nightly devotion, treated with the kind of reverence usually reserved for cherished treasures. It’s woven into her skincare ritual like a sacred rite, leaving her skin ... MoreLet’s talk about the Pyunkang Yul essence toner, a name so twisty, that it’s a good thing this isn’t a pronunciation test!

A sensitive screenplay that requires a different cast of characters. Hers? A teenage dream that soaks up Pyunkang Yul’s essence like a standing ovation.As for the next bottle? It’s all hers, and she’s already prepped to pen her own rave review once the curtain falls on the current act. 🌟🎭 #SkincareStory #FamilyAffair

I am THRILLED with this toner!! I’ve been using quite a few toners in the last three years and this is absolutely one of my favorites. When you first apply it it feels a little slippery and a bit slimy but in a good way but then it sinks in super quickly and leaves your face nice and soft and not sticky at all. I use actives every night of the week like Tretinoin and another strong serum that contains AHA and I usually have some flakes and peelies going on and this has helped cover those up tremendously. I also feel like it helps my other serums to really soak in as well. This is a big bottle and it will last a long time but when I use it up I will definitely repurchase. Great stuff and excellent price!PS if you have not tried their cleansing balm it is the best!! ... MoreI am THRILLED with this toner!!

I ordered this along with a couple of other minis to trial some toners. This was the first I used because I've been wanting to try it for so long. The mini bottle lasted me about 3 weeks. Compared to the other toners I've tried, for my dry sensitive and acne prone skin, this sadly wasn't very effective. There was no scent, maybe a "watery" smell which wasn't offensive but not my thing. I much preferred the I'm From Rice Toner and Goodal's Vegan Milk overall, as they were much more hydrating and pleasant to use. This had a stickiness to it too which I didn't like, and would build up as a white flakiness if I tried to layer it or use it with toner pads ones dry. It was more hydrating used with toner pads but I wouldn't have the time or inclination to do that nightly. ... MoreI ordered this along with a couple of other minis to trial some toners.
