Pyunkang Yul - Essence Toner 200ml

Dear PKY,
I've suffered with scalp plaque psoriasis for 17 year. 2 of those I've been using your product as part of the 7 skin method and have seen amazing results. Please keep up the good work.
- Your most ardent admirer
P.S. I would love a scalp tonic!

So I'm new to k beauty and wanted to try a toner for my dehydrated skin. I'd seen a lot of people recommending pyunkang so ordered. Omg! My skin drinks it in not rashes or breakouts. Its help my oily tzone to calm down and my skin looks plumped and so smooth and fresh. I've already got more in my cart! I don't were foundation or power just blush/highlight and eyes and lips. My skins positively glowing since starting this.

I'd bought Pyunkang Yul's Essence Toner just to help address a skin issue - itchy, dry, with ezcema-like patches. The essence toner is lightweight, viscous out of the bottle but turns watery when applied. (It's never any less fascinating watching the drops roll around on a cotton pad before they sink into the cotton.)

It absorbs well - so much so I've been able to tell when my skin needs less instead of more, depending on how fast it vanishes into my skin. I've never been able to sense that. More fascination!

It soothed and chucked moisture into my skin when it needed it badly. With everything else I was using, in under a week the dry skin had gone, the flakes were down to nothing, the redness was fading, and I was starting to get a slight glowy sheen. I'd been assuming it did nothing much or was just something of a background worker when I overhauled my entire skincare regime then, but now, I'm appreciating it more and more for what it does. This thing is perfect. It's almost good enough as a standalone moisturiser. Almost! Currently, I'm pairing it with Cosrx's snail moisturiser and boiii I never knew I could look Insta-worthy straight out of bed but gaddamn, I am. Whew.

Purchased this on the recommendation of YouTuber @gothamista (she should get commission from Yesstyle, given almost everything I buy on here I know about because of her!) It is quite watery, but with a nice amount of slip, it soaks in quite quickly and it doesn't have a strong smell. My skin does feel slightly smoother after using it, and best of all it doesn't cause spots in my mature-yet-oily skin!

I have very sensitive combination oily acne prone skin. This made my skin feel really nice and hydrated. It's not heavy at all and did not break me out. I tried other toners that broke me out and made my face itchy. I can always count on this toner to not irritate my skin at all. Super good!

I adopted the Korean skincare method about a month ago, specifically the 7-skin method, and it has done wonders for my skin! I used to be oily and acne-prone but I honestly believe this toner has helped balance my skin. I'm no longer oily (except for my nose due to large pores), I rarely ever get breakouts now, and my skin has never felt so soft! I often find myself just touching my cheeks to feel how soft they are. I've even tried to get my friends and family to feel my cheeks! LOL I loved this product so much that I've already purchased the 30ml for my gym bag and another 200ml as a backup once I've run out of my current bottle. I use 1-2 dashes/drops(?) of this every morning and night for at least 3-4 skins, alternating with other essences/toners depending on what my skin needs. So I still have over half the bottle left. Love love love!

After cleansing, I use this toner to prep my skin. This toner is very hydrating and absorb very quickly into the skin. There's no sticky residue after I pat this viscous toner into my skin with my hands. The ingredients are all clean. There's no alcohol, Parabens, or any nasty stuff that might irritate or sting your skin. This toner has a subtle herbal scent to it but quickly disappear away after applying onto the skin. I actually love the herbal scent. It smell so refreshing and soothing. My skin looks healthy and glowing after I use this toner. I really like this toner and will likely purchase again. Highly recommended from me.

There's no word to express how much I love this product. This is my holy grail ! ♡

I have been using it for at least 2 years now. I bought many bottles of it on Yesstyle.
Compared to the Klairs toner, I feel like this one is more hydrating. It's a bit thicker, but still close to the water feeling. It absorbs so fast into my skin and I love the feeling of it. It's also super gentle for the skin.

I use it on morning and evening, right after cleaning my face. I might apply 2 layers on really bad days when I feel like my skin is craving for hydrating care.
On morning, I add a rose balancing gel right after, and then sunscreen and make up.
On night, I use my favourite combo Essence toner + Pyunkang Yul Moisture Cream (same lind, blue packaging) and my skin looks like baby skin in the morning.

This routine really drastically reduced my breakouts.
I have dry acne-prone skin.

Purchased this after seeing a review from Gothamista on YouTube and it's just perfect for layering on my dry skin ive been using it daily and I've just repurchased.
The texture is not thin and watery it's a little denser but my skin soaks it all in. Also love the way it drops out you have control how much you want to put on at a time

well i tried this product because of the good reviews..before i used this product i have tried couple of toners that claims to be gentle but actually they are not..i have a sensitive acne prone skin and i thought to give it a go because of the straight forward contents..to my surprise it works wonders for my skin..it never claims to act against acne but it is gentle enough and easy to be abdorbed that even if your skin is having that bad breakouts it calms it and the next day the irritation subsides..i am on my 2nd bottle and on my 6th month usage and ever since never have i encounter such grusome breakouts..

This is my 2nd purchase of this and I couldn't imagine my skin without it! I LOVE This! It's so hydrating!! It has become my favourite toner absolutely even after trying a few others now!

This was my first foray into the world of Korean hydrating toners. Completely different from western toners this has blown my mind! I can do a couple of layers of this as it is so thin; the consistency may be slightly thicker than other Korean toners I have heard but it sinks in in seconds. From the very first layer of this, my skin felt plump and smooth! With continued use it has only improved leaps and bounds. I have found now that having properly hydrated skin has solved any fine lines and some of my spots too! It's made with a Chinese root which is proven to help blood flow, which explains why my spots have healed much much quicker as well! There is little to no smell with this also and no essential oils or alcohol.

In short I'm really happy with my purchase and will definitely be buying again!!

I don't write many reviews, but this toner/essence is da bomb. I highly recommend this if you have sensitive skin. it truly improves the texture of your skin. I purchasing several more today!
