Product details

A tube of Pyunkang Yul Acne Cream on a white marble table against a pale blue wall beside fresh chamomile flowers and centella leaves

Gel cream for blemish-prone skin

A gentle gel-type cream that controls excess sebum, keeps pores clear and soothes blemish-prone skin with moisture.

Pyunkang Yul’s Acne Cream draws on 40 years of know-how from the Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic. The light gel cream fills skin with moisture while niacinamide, white willow bark and Chinese skullcap root help control excess oil, keep pores clear and calm the look of breakouts. It is a hypoallergenic formula gentle enough for sensitive skin.
