The Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner is a skincare phenomenon that has revolutionized the concept of toning, combining the refreshing step of a toner with the deep nourishment of an essence. Developed by the renowned Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic in Korea, this product embodies a philosophy of minimalist, gentle, and highly effective skincare. It is specifically formulated to exclude all unnecessary chemical ingredients like fragrance, dye, and alcohol, making it an absolute staple for those with sensitive, reactive, dehydrated, or even oily skin looking for simple yet profound moisture.
What sets this toner apart is its unique composition: it replaces purified water almost entirely with a towering 91.3% concentration of Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract (also known as Milk Vetch Root). This ancient, highly-prized traditional Korean medicinal ingredient is a powerhouse of naturally occurring antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
With a texture that is thicker and more viscous than traditional watery toners—it has a satisfying, almost bouncy, gel-like consistency—it instantly melts into the skin. It works immediately after cleansing to restore the skin’s optimal pH balance and deliver an immediate surge of intense, nutrient-rich hydration. The result is skin that feels immediately soothed, plumped, and energized, ready to perfectly absorb the rest of your skincare routine. It's an ideal "skip-step" product that provides significant benefits without the need for multiple layers, although it is famously loved for the "7-Skin Method"for maximum moisture.

How to use it
How to use it
When: Use daily, both in your Morning and Evening skincare routines, immediately after cleansing.
How:
- Standard Use: Dispense a small amount into the palm of your hand (2-3 drops) and gently pat the product all over your face and neck until fully absorbed.
- For Intense Hydration (The 7-Skin Method): For skin that is extremely dry or dehydrated, apply 3 to 7 thin layers, allowing each layer to absorb for a few seconds before applying the next. This layering technique provides a powerful boost of moisture without the heaviness of a thick cream.
- Soothing Skin Pack: Soak a thin cotton pad with the toner and place it on areas that need extra soothing (like cheeks or forehead) for 5-10 minutes.
