Pyunkang Yul Cleansing Foam Review
Today, I have decided to try a fairly popular cleansing foam. I have chosen to try out and review the Pyunkang Yul Cleansing Foam. Koreans have introduced the double-cleanse method using both oil and water-based cleansers to cleanse your skin thoroughly. Double cleansing is a in 10 steps skin care routine as it is vital to clear all impurities, sebum, sweat, dirt before layering additional products. A clean surface is needed for your skin to quickly absorb the nourishments and benefits from the products that you would use after you cleanse. I’ve heard a lot of good news about this, saying that it even removes your makeup without overly drying out the skin!
To give you a little bit of an introduction to the ‘Pyunkang Yul’ skincare brand. It is a skincare line created by the Pyunkang Eastern Medicine Clinic, one of the famous traditional herbal hospitals in Korea that have existed for about 50 years.

Ingredients:
The main ingredient of the Pyunkang Yul Cleansing Foam is the Saposhnikovia Divaricata Root Extract, commonly known as Siler Root or FangFeng. It is widely known to be one of the herbs that support and boost your body’s immunity. For sure, if you use this cleanser for the whole year, your skin will be protected from the seasonal allergies you can accumulate.

This root extract is also known to treat rheumatism and allergic rhinitis.

Please take note, the product has an added fragrant ingredient on it, but it is very mild. A scent that you commonly smell from soaps, not intense and overwhelming. If you are sensitive to smell, this might turn you off. The pH level of this product is at 7, which is still at the neutral range.
Texture and Consistency:
The product’s consistency is in dense yet gummy foam, very stretchy to bond with waste, and lifts the dirt and oil that have accumulated on your skin and pores to eliminate them effectively. It is like creating a magnet on your face to absorb dirt and grease from your skin. Literally, a vacuum cleaner for your skin. Its sticky texture makes that feature happen.
Packaging:
I personally am attracted to products that use some form of natural ingredient. So, I decided to order the product online, and it arrived in an all-white packaging. The product comes in a large white plastic tube with a flip-top cap. The cap can is removable. If you untwist the lid, it will come off. It also has a foil that covers the opening from the tube, which is very sanitary. You need to remove the foil so that you can easily squeeze out the product for use. The product feels very neat and clean because of its crisp white packaging.
Price and Availability:
A 150ml tube for the price of around $13, it is reasonably priced for its effectivity. It is not only available in Korea but also available worldwide. A lot of online Korean retail websites have a different range of prices for this product. You just have to choose which store is the most convenient for your delivery time and location.
How To Apply Pyunkang Yul Cleansing Foam
On the back of the packaging, it indicates an instruction on how to use it. It says to make bubbles and apply an adequate amount on your face. After massaging, wash it with warm water.
The way I apply the product is the same, I just squeeze out a small amount of the product since the foam is quite dense, which means I do not need to use a lot. Add a little bit of water to the product, gently rubbing and massaging it on my face, and letting my skin play with the bubbles. As you continually massage your face, the product will then transform from a sticky texture to a foam consistency. It creates a good amount of foam that eases the cleansing process. The consistency is thick, and it feels a bit stickier compared to a regular cleanser which something that I don’t mind at all.
My Take On Pyunkang Yul Cleansing Foam
My verdict of the product? It is a very gentle cleansing foam. I like it a lot. It absolutely rinses off impurities very well. My skin feels so soft, smooth and refreshed. I can feel how clean it is after use, not totally drying and irritating to the skin. I love the finish it gives to my skin! Coupled with the right scrub, it feels as if the skin is given a new lease of life! It does its job really well!
But I must admit, using Pyunkang Yul Cleansing Foam is not something that I have fallen in love with instantly. It is not loved at first use. It took me a few tries to get completely hooked.
Definitely worth repurchasing considering its effect and cost. A reasonably priced cleanser and effective cleansing foam. Just watch out for discounts and whenever you get the chance, grab it! I swear this product is amazing and works wonderfully! With its elastic texture, a 150 ml tube of Pyunkang Yul Cleansing Foam can last me for months or even more than a year!
Conclusion:
I would highly recommend the product for all skin types. For oily and acne-prone skin, this product would work well for you. It can deeply cleanse and maintain your skin’s hydration. There are also natural ingredients present in this product that might help in healing your acne scars. Not only that, but it also has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, perfect for preventing the accumulation of acne or pimples.
For dry and sensitive skin, this product is absolutely perfect for you. It does not overly dry out and tighten your skin. It is still hydrated and moisturized even after washing. Plus, it only contains natural ingredients, so you know you are secured that there are no harsh chemicals included in this product.
Overall, this is a great product to try out! If you are looking for a foam cleanser that performs really well and gets the job done, this is definitely worth a try. SHOP NOW
