Pyunkang Yul

Love this line so much. It is so moisturizing and balanced, really all affected areas. I took a break from these products a while ago after using them for a couple of months and immediately regretted taking that break. I noticed very quickly afterwards how much these products helped. This trio works so fantastically well for my skin.

This is K-beauty at its most practical. It is a cream that focuses entirely on repairing the skin barrier without unnecessary "fluff". What’s good: Extremely gentle: It is designed for sensitive skin and also suitable for children or those prone to eczema. Contains honeysuckle extract that soothes the skin. No perfume: Completely fragrance-free, which is perfect if you want to avoid irritation or strong smells. Multifunctional: It works just as well on the face as on dry elbows or hands. Ceramides: Contains ingredients that actually rebuild the skin if it has been overtreated with acids. What’s less good: Heavy feeling: It is quite rich and oily. It can feel a bit "oily" before it fully absorbs, so it works best as a night cream or for someone with very dry skin. Boring: If you like luxurious packaging and lovely scents, this will feel very "pharmacy-like" and simple.

Feels nice on the skin and didn’t trigger a new flare-up of perioral dermatitis, but after 2 weeks of use I wasn’t more moisturized than before. The consistency is like other essences I’ve tried. Thicker than water, but not a cream. I still have some left in the bottle, so I plan to test it again when it’s warmer outside and during a possible PD flare-up – then I think it could serve a purpose!
