Is the texture watery, and does it leave a sticky finish?

It has a dense, rich, essence-like consistency rather than a thin, watery texture. It spreads smoothly, absorbs quickly and leaves a non-sticky finish.

Can I apply more than one layer when my skin feels dry?

Yes. Apply two to three thin layers for added hydration, allowing each one to absorb before adding the next.

Is it positioned for sensitive or dehydrated skin?

Yes. It is recommended for sensitive-feeling skin and for skin that feels dry or tight from dehydration.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Hello, hydration. PyunkangYul Essence Toner brings rich, essence-like hydration to a leave-on toner. Its dense consistency is made for skin that feels dry, tight or dehydrated, with more body than a thin, watery formula.

The texture spreads smoothly and absorbs quickly without a sticky finish. It leaves your skin feeling supple and hydrated, pairing the cushion of a richer consistency with a clean after-feel.

Beyond its finish, the toner is designed to support the moisture barrier and help limit moisture loss. It also helps balance oil and moisture, smooth the look of uneven texture and improve the appearance of visible pores. For dull or fatigued-looking skin, it supports a more radiant look.

When skin feels easily unsettled, the toner offers soothing comfort for sensitive-feeling skin affected by external stressors. The formula includes glycerin, a humectant associated with improved skin hydration, along with Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract. Choose between 100ml and 200ml bottles to suit your routine.
