PyunKang Yul Nutrition Cream Review

Everyone is hyped up-obsessed with the “Korean glass skin” beauty, and to be honest, it seems like this trend won’t end anytime soon! People are still crazy about finding the right products that would give them the luminous young glow. A lot of new, exciting skincare products have emerged from the market, and all of them claim to offer you the bedazzling clear skin that would glow and go throughout seasons.

Of course, some made it through people’s meticulous standards & paved their way into fame ’round the skincare community. One of the most talked, people’s favourite is Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream. I have seen a lot of Instagram mutuals obsessing over this product, and to be honest, I wanted to give it a try too. I have dehydrated skin, so I am looking for skincare products that would not only lessen acne and blemishes but would also moisturize and hydrate. If my Instagram friends aren’t lying about the magic of this product, then this might be the perfect solution to my long dry dilemma.

About the Brand

Pyunkang Yul is originally a South Korean brand by Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic. A centre is best known for its use of ancient Asian eastern medicine in treating patients. Pyunkang Oriental Clinic specializes in dermatology, and the creation of Pyunkang Yul skin care products was mainly for patients suffering from atopic dermatitis.

Because it’s primarily meant for users with skin known to be very sensitive, Pyunkang Yul had somehow garnered my trust. I mean, they won’t possibly make a product that would possibly harm their patients, right? Plus, they are known for their ancient eastern medicine, so most of their ingredients are natural and organic.

Also, they gave people the impression of “minimum ingredients with maximum results”. They most often go with the simple and basic ingredients designed to deliver nutrient-filled moisture to the skin.

Despite having limited ingredients, Pyunkang Yul made sure to have thoroughly picked those that would help create a product that is both a cure and a beauty enhancer masterpiece. Because Pyunkang Yul tries to keep it as natural and as hypoallergenic as possible, other damaging ingredients – such as added fragrance, typical in most cosmetic products, were basically not included.

Well, they surely did say “identify the essential, eliminate the rest”.

I’ve also tried Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner and Pyunkang Yul Cleansing Foam. You can read it from my previous reviews.

The Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream

Being a part of the Pyunkang Yul skin care’s “basic line”, this nutrition cream keeps it simple but effective. With claims of moisturizing & anti-ageing, the Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream easily captured the interest of the beauty community. What’s more eye-catching with this product is that it has very interesting healthy ingredients containing natural properties of hydrating and moisturizing the skin.

Like the Essence Toner, Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream’s main star ingredient is the Astragalus Membraneceus extract – that is scientifically known to decrease breakdown collagens, increase skin hydration, decrease melanin production. It is also fragrance-free, so people that are sensitive to scent won’t have a hard time using it, and unlike most beauty creams, this product has a creamy but very dense texture. Just what you need especially on a hot, busy day.

A lot of K-beauty enthusiasts have been obsessed with this product because of its said soothing, gentle and moisturizing effect to the skin. It is also highly praised because of its fast-absorbing ability. Even when applied to rashes or healing acne marks, Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream doesn’t itch or irritate! One need not worry about skin sensitivity.

But, not only are these the things the cream can offer.

A lot of people also admire it because of its anti-ageing properties that help decrease fine line appearances just within days of use. As it is originally made for people with skin problems, this cream is also said to be good for healing skin. It evens out red and dark spots, leaving your skin with a seemingly spotless hydrated glow.

Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream Ingredients

Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract

The primary ingredient that makes up most of this toner, Astragalus Membranaceus root extract is known for its antioxidant properties. It is one of the well-acknowledged natural gems in Chinese medicinal herbs (Astragalus Membranaceus) as it is believed to strengthen a person’s “life force”. This herbal medicine is considered as one of China’s precious gem for a good reason. While it is known for its antioxidant properties, Astragalus Membranaceus also serves as anti-inflammatory, liver-protecting, and antiviral remedy.

Using this natural gem that contains such great benefits in the beauty community gives people high expectations. As a skincare product ingredient, the Astragalus Membranaceus root extract is great for improving the quality of the skin because of its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains other bioactive compounds that are good agents of maintaining healthy skin.

The Astragalus Membranaceus root extract also acts as a protective shield against the harmful rays of the sun as it enables the decrease of melanin production in the body. It also decreases breakdown collagens and increases skin hydration. Because of these protective properties, the Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream is a good product for people who have sensitive skin prone to dryness and redness, also for skin with poor blood circulation. This natural ingredient is proven and tested effective for all skin types.

Shea Butter

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, commonly known as Shea butter, is a good source of all-natural Vitamin A. in the skincare community, the use of Shea butter helps in improving skin conditions, such as wrinkles and blemishes. This ingredient is also a very good moisturizing agent. When a product uses Shea butter, you can immediately point out the softness in your skin after applying it.

This compound has natural anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Good for boosting collagen production and promotes cell regeneration, Shea butter also plays a good role in faster wound healing of the skin.

Macadamia Oil

Macadamias are known to have great benefits from the tree itself to the oils extracted from it. Macadamia kernels have a variety of benefits. They are good sources of Vitamins A1, B1, and B2. The oil, on the other hand, is abundant in Vitamin E – which has properties that are naturally helpful for moisturizing the skin and is also suitable for repairing sun damage.

Macadamia Oil is labelled as the “ultimate oil’ for the skin. It is “skin-friendly” as it is scientifically proven to be hypoallergenic. It aids in improving skin itchiness and redness because it naturally contains phytosterols, which is also very convenient as it is highly emollient with good quality of spreadability. One need not worry about the unnecessary “greasy effect” as it absorbs easily, with lasting moisture on the skin.

Consistency and Texture

The Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream has a creamy, yet very dense texture. Its cream is not too sticky, but also not too diluted. It does not glide on your hands when you apply it, but it’s also not hard to blend. It’s the right amount of viscidity, just enough to apply easily and although it absorbs easily, you can feel that the product doesn’t dry out on your skin. It’s not bothersome as it’s really light-weight like you just applied a translucent protective product.

Packaging

The Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream comes in a blue coloured plastic bottle that appears to look like glass at first glance. It looks like a typical cream with a screw cap that has a protective layer glued to the bottle to avoid unnecessary spilling. We all hate it when it happens! It also comes with a spoon-like mini applicator to scoop the cream when you don’t feel like greasing your hands. Because it is plastic and doesn’t spill that easily, it is a product you can carry around – when you need it, where you need it.

Product Price and Availability

For a beauty product that seems to give you great lengths, I personally consider Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream as reasonably priced. You can purchase the toner in a 100 ml size for 27$ and use it for a long period of time! It provides the skin with long-lasting moisture, so a small amount applied can surely get you through the day. One also does not need to worry about consistency as this product has a very consistent enhancing effect. It surely makes you glow, and it shows! It’s available online on Korean Beauty Resellers and some beauty stores.

How I Use Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream

Personally, I use this cream after cleansing my face, right after the toner, essence cream, and face serum. Tap my ring finger along the lines on my face. Do a little facial massage, very relaxing I would say.

How To Apply Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream

Like how we commonly use face creams, it is advisable to apply the product after cleansing the face. When applying, it is up to your preference whether to put an adequate amount on your hands or directly applying it on your face. Either way works. Let it get absorbed by your skin through little soft taps on your face after application.

I, on the other hand, prefer to put some on my hands and gently apply it on my face afterwards. After ensuring I have equally spread it, I then do soft taps to let it set.

My Verdict on Pyunkang Yul Nutrition Cream

What I really like about this product is it’s thick, but light-weight consistency. It’s really creamy but has good spreadability. When I apply it on my skin, it’s as if my skin is so firm and healthy. It’s really moisturizing but does not appear as “oily”. My skin has that dewy glow after every use! No highlighters needed!

Because this cream is originally made for people suffering from skin illness, this product is especially good for people with dry and sensitive skin. It can also survive seasons but is more effective during summertime when the weather’s incredibly hot and your skin feels more dehydrated because of the heat.

The first few days, I had a little breakout, but I just thought of it as my skin adjusting to the product. It’s a normal dermal reaction they say, especially when you’re trying new products. It eventually disappeared though, and the pimple marks weren’t as visible as I thought it would be!

I just got to say, people who are suffering from constant acne breakouts, especially those undergoing puberty, need to be very careful and attentive when using this cream. If they feel like they’re having more breakouts more than it is healing, I think this might not just be the right product for you, yet. Our skin has different preferences. We just have to find the one that suits us best! For me, this Nutrition Cream has just become one of my new “must-haves”
