New favorite
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 is now a staple in my skincare!! ❤️
I’m 64 years old with dry skin. I just stared my skincare journey a few years ago and have tried countless items. I am a minimalist that has been looking for effective and affordable products. I have narrowed my items to the few that really work for me and this PKY essence toner is an absolute staple, I have repurchased if several times and have no plans to stop. I really like that it has minimal ingredients and is cost effective. Most of all though is how hydrated it makes my face and neck feel!! The texture is slightly thicker than most toners, it absorbs nicely, without stickiness. It makes my face feel like it’s had a luxurious spa treatment!I do have severe dry eye syndrome and this does not bother me at all. I do carefully apply to my orbital area without issue.My holy grail routine is cleanser (Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser or CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser. I use both), this PKY essence toner, CosRX 6 peptide toner, CeraVe spf (AM), Tretinoin and CeraVe (PM).

Sensitive skin
It’s really good for my very dry sensitive skin.Texture is not watery type it’s okay for dry skin. It’s just like serum.Highly recommended for very dry sensitive skin!

Nice, moisturizing toner
This is a nice toner if you do skin flooding. It feels nice but maybe a bit sticky at times. It goes away after I moisturize tho. I like it esp for the price.

A Detailed Review
I’ve been using the product for over a month, twice a day! I’m always very thorough with my skincare since I suffer with rosacea and sensitive skin, so I’m leaving a VERY detailed review for those who want an in-depth look!I first saw this product while looking for essence on Amazon. After doing research and seeing my favorite dermatologist (Cassandra Bankson) suggest it for rosacea sufferers, I had to try it!!!!NOTE!!!:During this, I was also trying out these products at the same time which may have boosted results (I will be reviewing as well):-Paula’s Choice Hydrating Gel to Cream Cleanser-Doppeltree RENEW Overnight Facial Mask with Aloe Vera Gel & Hyaluronic Acid—————————-Performance- 10/10-This product is incredibly gentle on the skin! For those who suffer with rosacea or sensitive skin but wish to still use a toner, then this is the product for you! Make sure your skin is moist before applying to get the best results!-My favorite part about this product is that there is no fragrance or alcohol added. Fragrance in general is bad for any skin type. Sure it smells nice, but can be an irritant that leads to hives, redness, and itchy skin. Alcohol (not to be confused with Fatty Alcohols) in products can dry out skin, disrupt the skin barrier, and strains the skin, making it weak. Alcohol is often used for product to dry faster and degrease the skin. So if you have dry or sensitive skin, this product is safe! ALSO: If you happen to have Malassezia (fungal acne) this product is also safe to use!-Note: Toners all together should be avoided by rosacea sufferers and those with sensitive or dry skin, so always go for essence instead! Toners focus more on PH balance and often contain alcohol which is harmful to those with rosacea and sensitive skin. Essence is more for hydration. And when your skin is hydrated, it is able to absorb products better!—————————-Consistency/Quality- 10/10-It feels very smooth, almost like a serum, and glides along the skin seamlessly. It dries fairly quick as well and works best when the skin is moist (like with any skincare product). The product never separates, but I always tend to shake it before each use just in case!—————————-Ingredients- 9/10-What I love a lot about this product is that there are only 7 ingredients! With any good skincare product, always use the K.I.S.S system: Keep It Simple Stupid! The less ingredients, the more like it is to be better for you! I also love that this product has Astragalus and Arginine. Just sad that Arginine isn’t higher up on the ingredient list (meaning there is less of it in the product).-There are quite a few ingredients that don’t hurt but don’t really help with the skin, though they MAY have SOME properties. BUT- all of the ingredients listed are safe for sensitive and rosacea prone skin! A lot of hydrating properties, so if you have dryer skin, a bonus! Like I mentioned before, there is no alcohol and no fragrances!-Note: All my research for each ingredient is done through using “Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary”, “INCIDecoder”, and “SpecialChem”. I highly recommend using these websites to do deeper dives on ingredients in your skincare! I also used “National Institutes of Health (NIH)” for one of these ingredients.~Ingredient Overview~-Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract (Astragalus/Milk-vetch root extract, herb)- Antioxidant, emollient, skin conditioning, anti-inflammatory, contains antiviral properties.-1,2-Hexanediol (a chemical relative to propylene glycol)-Synthetic preservative, solvent, moisture binding agent. But, is hydrating!-Butylene Glycol (1,3-Butanediol, organic compound)-Texture enhancer, humectant, solvent, penetration booster. But, is hydrating and MAY also decrease roughness on the surface of skin.-Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane (Silicon-based polymer/Silicone)-Skin conditioning agent, surfactant, foam booster, moisturizer.- Fun fact- Silicone is completely safe for your skin in cosmetics! (Source: Bains, Pooja, and Simplepreet Kaur. “Silicone in Dermatology: An Update.” Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery, U.S. National Library of Medicine, 28 Apr. 2023,)-Hydroxyethylcellulose (Chemical compound, naturally derived from cellulose)-Texture enhancer, film-forming agent, pH Adjuster/Stabilizer, natural thickener. Completely safe for skin.-Carbomer (Polyacrylic acid, a series of polymers that derive from acrylic acid)-Texture enhancer, pH adjuster/stabilizer, thickener. Can increase skin permeation and retention of key active ingredients. Completely safe for skin up to 15% concentrate.-Arginine (Amino Acid naturally present in the body)-Hydrating, anti-aging, antioxidant benefits, repairing for visible skin damage, key role in skin’s natural production of replenishing substances such as proline and urea.—————————-Value For Money- 10/10-Perfect value for your money! Real bang for your buck! It’s been a month and I still have plenty after using it twice a day everyday!—————————-Overall- 10/10!!!-This is a great product! I enjoy it greatly and believe those who suffer with rosacea, dry skin, and/or sensitive will enjoy it too! No fragrance, no alcohol, just 7 ingredients, and as gentle as ever! Absolutely love this!

Holy Grail for Hydration and Sensitive Skin!
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!

very hydrating
I absolutely love this toner! It’s very hydrating and has a nice, thick consistency. There’s a slight sticky feel when it dries, but a good moisturizer afterward eliminates that. If you have sensitive skin, it works well, it doesn’t burn or tingle after applying.

Maybe skincare is a scam 🤔
3 stars because it hasn’t broken me out or made my skin worse, which is no small feat for my sensitive skin. However, after a few weeks of use, I have seen no improvements to my skin’s hydration

Ich habe sehr empfindliche Haut, die oft mit Rötungen und trockenen Stellen reagiert. Deshalb bin ich bei neuen Produkten normalerweise vorsichtig. Den Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner vertrage ich aber erstaunlich gut – keine Irritationen, kein Brennen.Die Textur ist leicht gelartig und zieht schnell ein, ohne ein klebriges Gefühl zu hinterlassen. Meine Haut fühlt sich nach der Anwendung sofort beruhigt und gut durchfeuchtet an. Nach ein paar Tagen waren auch die trockenen Stellen deutlich besser.Positiv finde ich außerdem, dass der Toner ohne unnötige Duftstoffe oder reizende Zusätze auskommt – gerade für sensible Hauttypen ein Pluspunkt.💡 Fazit: Ein sehr sanftes, feuchtigkeitsspendendes Gesichtswasser, das auch für empfindliche Haut geeignet ist. Für mich definitiv ein Nachkaufprodukt.

30代男ですが洗顔後の肌のつっぱりが気になったので使い始めました。やっぱり肌が綺麗な方が衛生的なので男も最低限使った方がいいですね。この商品は変な匂いやなった後のベタつきもないので使いやすいです。あと見た目もオシャレで雑に置いててもサマになります。
