Product Information

The obvious thing this immediately does is hydrate the crap out of your skin. Hydration is really the main thing behind that glowy “glass skin” look, and I think this is why this product keeps going viral – the hydration just gives so much instant gratification! Yes– Pyunkang Yul products are a great choice for those of all skin-types. Those with sensitive skin should be especially interested in the brand given that they use the bare minimum number of ingredients and have a long history of targeting specific skin concerns like sensitivity or eczema. This all sounds amazing, "give me some EGF Serum", we can hear you say! But as we wrote in the intro, the topic is complex and controversial so here are some of the questions that keep coming up around slathering EGF all over our face. While a peeling gel starts bunching up immediately, this takes a bit longer and there are less particles.

The fermented bean part explains the texture – it’s really gooey and stringy, a lot like snail essence. It’s reminiscent of the stringiness of natto (edible Japanese soybeans). Mixsoon Bean Essence is another product I heard about from Soo Beauty. She uses it as a hydrating essence, and she’s raved about it enough that I started using it just off her recommendation. Cosrx also added some extra ingredients that also add to the hydrating and soothing effects: betaine, butylene glycol, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, allantoin and arginine.I heard about Pyunkang Yul first from Gothamista, YouTube’s skincare godmother. Their products are really minimalist and focus on using plant extracts to make products suitable for sensitive skin.

The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it. For exfoliating, you prep your skin with warm water, pump out some product and just start massaging. After about a minute, you start to feel little sand-sized grains forming under your fingertips. It’s very satisfying!

Yes! As we mentioned above, Pyunkang Yul started with a focus on atopic skin conditions like eczema. That’s why they use the bare minimum ingredients in their products. If you experience sensitivity and similar problems, you may may want to try any toners, serums or ampoules from the range as they will help you without leaving sensitive skin irritated. Likewise, those just looking to maintain the appearance of their skin and who wish to prevent long-term damage can turn to Pyunkang Yul as a brand that prioritises the health of their skin. Now the question is only this: If we put ceramides all over our face do theywork as well as ceramides already naturally in our skin? Well, the answer is probably a no, but they do work to some extent. The BeautyBrains blog made a fantastic article about ceramides and they have listed a couple of examples about studies showing that ceramides - especially when used in certain ratios with cholesterol and fatty acids - do hydrate the skin and can help to repair the skin barrier.

However some sulfates are so good at their job, they can wash off your skin’s own natural oils that keep it moisturised and protected which can lead to dryness and irritation. Retinal (note: with an A, not retinol!): This is a stronger form of vitamin A that converts to retinoic acid (tretinoin) in one step, which is as close to tretinoin as you can get in a cosmetic product (it’s one step closer than retinol).Most people will find no issues with sulfate, however if you find your skin doesn't like sulfates then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the sulfate-free icon on Skincarisma. Don’t forget, we have a dedicated section for all our vegan products if you are looking for K-Beauty vegan-friendly options. Is Pyunkang Yul suitable for sensitive skin?
