Product details

A jar of Pyunkang Yul Calming Moisture Barrier Cream on a white marble table between fresh centella leaves and a sprig of honeysuckle

Calm + barrier

A soothing barrier cream with five centella compounds, five hyaluronic acids and ceramide, made for sensitive skin.

Pyunkang Yul built this cream for skin that is easily irritated: tea tree, honeysuckle and centella calm it down, while ceramide, squalane and shea butter help rebuild a dry, weakened moisture barrier. It’s mildly acidic, close to healthy skin’s own pH, and leaves skin soothed and supple.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Tea tree + honeysuckle

    Two plant extracts used to calm stressed, sensitive skin. Both sit higher on the list than any other botanical.

    No. 13, 14 of 44 on the list

  • Centella, five ways

    The centella extract plus four of its purified active compounds, the plant’s best-known soothing molecules, for comfort on red, reactive skin.

    No. 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 of 44 on the list

  • Five hyaluronic acids

    Different sizes and forms of hyaluronic acid that draw water into skin, for moisture that reaches past the surface.

    No. 10, 11, 12, 15, 16 of 44 on the list

  • Ceramide, squalane + shea

    Ceramide reinforces a moisture barrier made sensitive by dryness, while squalane and shea butter nourish rough, dehydrated skin.
