Product details

A blue bottle of Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner on a white marble table between dried milk vetch root slices and a bundle of root sticks

Seven ingredients

A dense, hydrating essence toner made mostly of milk vetch root extract, with nothing your skin doesn’t need.

Pyunkang Yul’s best-known toner is built on one idea: give skin a rest with the fewest ingredients possible. Milk vetch root extract leads a list of just seven, in a viscous essence-like texture that absorbs quickly and leaves skin dewy, smooth and clean.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Milk vetch root

    Pyunkang Yul says 91.3% of the formula is this root extract, which contains isoflavonoids. It replenishes and re-energizes dry, tired-looking skin and helps it feel more elastic.

    No. 1 of 7 on the list

  • Hydrating glycols

    Two humectants that draw in moisture, so a few pats leave skin hydrated with a slightly bouncy, gummy feel.

    No. 2, 3 of 7 on the list

  • Essence texture

    Give the toner its dense, viscous body while letting it sink in fast for a dewy yet clean finish.

    No. 5, 6, 7 of 7 on the list

How to use

Right after cleansing

    Cleanse

  2. 2

    Soak

  3. 3

    Sweep

    Wipe gently over the face to lift away dead skin cells and leftover makeup.

  4. 4

    Pat

    Pat a little more into the skin until absorbed, then follow with serum and moisturizer.
