Pyunkang Yul [PKY] Essence Toner for Deep Hydration, Highly Concentrated Essence Facial Toner, Minimal Ingredients, Zero-Irritation, Korean Skincare (6.8 Fl. Oz, 200ml)

What a nice lightweight, soothing toner product! Skin calming, and the ingredients appear to be nourishing to the skin. I’ve had no reaction or burning with my sensitive mature skin, so I’m going to keep using it. No odor. No stickiness.. great base for sunscreens or other creams that you use on your face.

Love the consistency. While it is thick in consistency, it’s not like snail mucin. It isn’t slimy. It’s very hydrating! Definitely worth the price point. Oh! I’d like to note that I didn’t experience any pulling whatsoever. That’s extremely important to me. If it pills up, I will never use it again.

I’ve been using the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner for a few months now, and it has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. It’s lightweight, yet incredibly hydrating—perfect for layering without feeling greasy or sticky. One of the things I appreciate most is its minimalist ingredient list, which makes it ideal for sensitive skin. There’s no fragrance, alcohol, or unnecessary additives, just pure hydration.The texture is a little thicker than water, almost like a light gel, which absorbs beautifully into the skin. I use it after cleansing and sometimes apply two or three layers for extra moisture. It calms redness, helps with dry patches, and gives my skin a healthy, plump look.Highly recommend for anyone dealing with dryness, sensitivity, or just looking to simplify and hydrate their skincare routine. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while too—definitely worth the price!

This is a very gentle toner with few ingredients. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin or cause breakouts. It’s slightly thicker than a standard watery toner but not as thick as a milky toner. It has a clear consistency and is slightly sticky but dries down well. I use it almost daily as part of a multiple toner routine. It works well with other products and provides hydration, but isn’t the most hydrating toner on its own. I have dry, sensitive, and reactive skin and I feel this toner is a good match for my skin type.

So far I like this. It has a thick but watery texture, less creamy than Laneige and some of the other brands I have tried, but still leaves my skin feeling very nice. I pat a few drops all over my face after cleansing, then add a little more around my eyes. I do not notice any scent, and it is very nice in the AM, under sunscreen and makeup. It sinks in fast, but moisturizes well without making my skin look too wet, shiny, or greasy. I don’t notice any fragrance. Price is great, I love that the Korean brands are still so affordable.

This tonic is very mild and keeps my skin moist. It is not strong nor irritating like the one I used before. I'll keep using this forever.

My skin has more than enough oil (Combo, Acne Prone) but not nearly enough water (Dehydrated). This product is simple but effective. I’ve used it for years in various skincare routines and have always had a good experience. It soothes my skin and doesn’t irritate my sensitive cheeks or make them red. It doesn’t give me breakouts. It meshes well with my other products. I have no complaints.If you’re curious, here’s my routine:AMBeauty of Joseon Plum CleanserThis ProductCosrx Snail Mucin EssenceBeauty of Joseon Red Bean Water Gel MoisturizerHero Cosmetics Green tinted sunscreen or St. Mege rice sunscreenPMElf melting balm (if I wore makeup)Plum Cleanser (CeraVe cream to foam cleanser if I wore makeup)Curology prescription (not paid to say this, they truly helped my skin more than any dermatologist)Red Bean Gel Moisturizer

Hyaluronic Acids never seem to do much for me no matter what percentage it is or whether I apply it to damp/ even very wet skin. This product however does a great job of adding hydration to my skin, especially when applied before moisturizer. I have extremely sensitive and breakout prone skin that goes back and forth between being dry and extremely dry. This product doesn't break me out, doesn't cause redness or a rash, and does what is advertised. I will definitely be repurchasing it.
