Product details

A blue jar of Pyunkang Yul Intensive Repair Cream on a white marble table between a white peony, red cornus berries and turmeric root

Repair + nourish

A rich repair cream with copper peptide, a triple moisture barrier and three plant extracts, for dry, tired-looking skin.

Pyunkang Yul’s high-moisture cream pairs copper tripeptide with ceramide, shea butter and macadamia oil to reinforce a dry, weakened barrier, then adds peony, cornus fruit and turmeric root to revive dull skin. Despite the rich formula, it melts in softly without stickiness.

Barrier builders: ceramide, shea butter and macadamia oil

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Copper tripeptide

    The copper peptide at the centre of the formula. Pyunkang Yul uses it to boost how much moisture skin holds, for deep hydration that lasts.

    No. 23 of 33 on the list

  • Triple moisture barrier

    Ceramide strengthens the barrier, shea butter brings nourishing vitamins A, E and F, and macadamia oil, similar in makeup to skin’s own sebum, forms a healthy moisture film and helps balance oil.

    No. 6, 8, 18 of 33 on the list

  • Peony, cornus + turmeric

    Three naturally derived extracts: peony brings a healthy glow back to dull skin, cornus fruit calms irritated skin, and turmeric root revives skin that looks tired.

    No. 19, 20, 21 of 33 on the list

  • Beta-glucan + glycerin

    Glycerin, right after water, draws in moisture, and yeast beta-glucan adds a soothing, hydrating layer.

    No. 2, 22 of 33 on the list

  • Aloe
  • Myrtle

Deep, lasting moisture for dry, dull or aging-looking skin that wants a cream that feels nourishing but never heavy.
