Known for
Pyunkang Yul was born from the Pyunkang Korean Medicine Clinic, founded in 1972. Their Essence Toner famously contains just 7 ingredients — when most K-beauty toners have 20+. This radical minimalism comes from their herbal medicine philosophy: use only what’s necessary, nothing more. The Nutrition Cream and Calming Moisture Barrier Cream are cult favorites for stripped-back routines.
