Pyunkang Yul

Pyunkang Yul was established in March 2016 by Pyunkang Korean Medicine Hospital, a traditional medicine clinic known for treating atopic skin disorders. In over 50 years, Pyunkang Korean Medicine Hospital has treated more than 150,000 patients with chronic skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and acne. The brand launched its skincare line based on the clinic's decades of expertise, with a clear philosophy: fewer ingredients, higher quality. Every formula uses the minimum number of ingredients needed to achieve the desired result, with no synthetic fragrance, colorants, or unnecessary fillers.

The Essence Toner is Pyunkang Yul's undisputed hero product, with its 91.3% Milk Vetch Root Extract concentration making it one of the most uniquely formulated toners in K-beauty, delivering deep hydration and barrier support with every use. The Calming Moisture Barrier Cream is equally beloved, a lightweight yet deeply nourishing moisturiser that calms redness and strengthens the skin barrier for long-lasting comfort. For a weekly treatment hit, both the Highly Moisturising Essence Sheet Mask and the Calming Low pH Sheet Mask are standout options, delivering an intensive boost of hydration and soothing actives in one step. The Calming Low pH Sheet Mask is particularly well suited for post-exfoliation or after any treatment that leaves skin feeling sensitised, restoring balance and comfort quickly.

The Essence Toner is Pyunkang Yul's star product and one of the most talked-about toners in Korean skincare. 91.3% of this toner is Milk Vetch Root Extract, rich in vitamins and minerals to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin. Suitable for all skin types. Unlike most toners that use water as their primary ingredient, the Essence Toner's high concentration of Milk Vetch Root Extract means it delivers more hydration and barrier support per drop, sitting closer to a first essence than a traditional toner in terms of efficacy.

Sensitive skin is at the very heart of the Pyunkang Yul story, with the brand born from a clinic that has spent over 50 years treating chronic skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis. Every formula is free from synthetic fragrance, colourants, and unnecessary fillers. The Low pH Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is a brilliant everyday cleanser that maintains the skin's natural pH balance without any tightness or irritation, while the Calming Moisture Repair Balm soothes and repairs areas of particularly compromised skin for instant relief.

Pyunkang Yul makes building a routine refreshingly simple. Start with the Deep Cleansing Oil to gently dissolve makeup and impurities without disrupting the skin barrier, then spritz the Mist Toner to instantly hydrate and soothe the skin with Barberry Root Extract before the next steps. Follow with the Moisture Serum for a targeted boost of nourishment and barrier support, then seal everything in with the Nutrition Cream for a deeply nourishing finish that keeps skin soft and comfortable throughout the day. In the morning, always finish with an SPF to protect the barrier Pyunkang Yul has worked hard to strengthen.

Pyunkang Yul is cruelty-free and doesn't test its products on animals. They also offer a range of vegan-friendly products, each clearly labelled so you only use the products that are right for you.
