The combination of the essence toner and nutrition cream have done amazing things for my dehydrated skin. Amazing moisturization without any oily residue.

I love this brand. I’d heard about it from Dr Dray’s YouTube channel so I got the started pack. They leave my skin feeling moistures but not heavy or greasy. The facial wash, in particular, smells delicious (it is fragranced so be careful if your skin is very sensitive).
I will definitely order full sizes when this is finished.

This is such a great and cute set! The essence toner is so satisfying to put on and the combination of this with the nutrition cream is really gentle and hydrating. The cleansing foam is really good too and it smells great.
I’m totally happy with this.

This set is such good value for money. The essence toner is an absolutely holy grail. The cream and cleanser are great for travelling. Considering buying a full size cream; its so soothing.

I have not yet used the nutrition cream but let me tell you, my skin is obsessed with the cleansing foam and the essence toner. I felt the Benton Toner might be too harsh for my skin so I opted to try out this starter kit. The essence toner is to die for, my skin couldn’t be happier, not harsh while supplying moisture. The cleansing foam is just something else, my skin is not dry after washing my face and I let it air dry before applying the essence toner, my skin already glows right out the shower. The cleansinf foam and essence toner are now my holy grail products. I’m obsessed.

I’m loving the essence toner. I have dry and dehydrated skin and the essence toner really helps me. The cream is a big plus for me as it leaves my skin hydrated and supple. I’m not too keen on the cleansing foam it leaves my skin dry and itchy.

I love PKY. Great for barrier repair and I love it that you can buy minis to first try out new products. And minis are wonderful for traveling of course 🙂

Great introductory kit to the brand. I enjoy layering the toner more than once for added moisture and hydration. gentle on the skin and I use it both morning and evening. pairs well with actives. a very easy to use product.

This kit unfortunately didn’t work out too well for me. My skin felt amazing the first time I used it but then a week or so later, my skin started breaking out and became itchy. It’s a wonderful kit for people with dry skin but for sensitive skin, not so much

I love all of the Pyunkang Yul products – They are specifically great at helping to hydrate dry skin and I adore the Essence Toner!!

I love this brand and so does my skin, ordering it again for both my 13yr old and I. Leaves skin moisturized over long periods of time without feeling heavy. A must have.

This kit is a great introduction to Pyunkang Yul.
The cleanser is gentle yet still effective. It produces a luxurious foam and the addition of witch hazel helps keep your skin clear.
The essence toner is definitely more of an essence for me, I find it’s not hydrating enough for my dehydrated skin if I don’t use a toner underneath. However, it’s packed full of antioxidants and provides your skin with a beautiful glow.
The nutrition cream is a joy to use, rich without being too heavy.
