Product details

A pale blue tube of Pyunkang Yul Low pH Pore Deep Cleansing Foam on a white marble table between fresh centella leaves and a small pile of red adzuki beans

Low pH cleanse

A mild, mildly acidic micro-foam with coconut-derived cleansers and diatomaceous earth that clears pores without leaving skin tight.

Pyunkang Yul’s everyday cleanser keeps its pH close to skin’s own, between 5.0 and 6.0, and cleans with gentle coconut-derived surfactants. Its rich micro foam works in two steps: fine diatomaceous earth particles absorb the impurities in pores, and purslane extract helps lift out leftover makeup residue. Centella and tea tree calm sensitive skin, while hyaluronic acid and green tea leave it moisturized, not stripped.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Coconut-derived cleansers

    Mild surfactants made from coconut that whip into a rich micro foam and remove makeup residue and impurities without stripping the moisture barrier.

    No. 3, 4, 8, 9 of 33 on the list

  • Diatomaceous earth + purslane

    The two-step pore cleanse: tiny, highly absorbent diatomite particles soak up impurities, and purslane extract gently clears the makeup and residue left behind.

    No. 22, 31 of 33 on the list

  • Centella + tea tree

    Calm irritated, sensitive skin during cleansing; tea tree also helps keep oil in check, and beta-glucan protects and soothes.

    No. 21, 26, 27 of 33 on the list

  • Moisture after cleansing

    Glycerin, hyaluronic acid and green tea extract replenish moisture, so skin feels soft and hydrated rather than tight once rinsed.

    No. 2, 23, 25 of 33 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Witch hazel
  • Adzuki bean
  • Damask rose water
  • Buchu leaf
