Pyunkang Yul - hyulieronic review for Essence Toner

This toner has a waterless formula which contains 91% of Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract. The bottle has an opening from which you can pour the product, and it’s easy to dispense because the toner is somewhat viscous. It doesn’t get as “messy” as very watery toners. Just like all toners, apply this after cleansing. I pour it on the palm of my hand, rub hands together and pat it on my skin. You can layer this depending on your skin’s needs. Don’t let the last layer dry completely before jumping to the next product of your routine. It’s very easily buildable and doesn’t become tacky. I use it morning and night. No need to use a cotton pad. Absorbs well, doesn’t leave any tacky feeling or any film on the skin. This toner really helps me with relieving that uncomfortable dry skin feeling that you sometimes have even after applying your skincare products. If you feel like your skin still feels dry under your skincare, then you may give this a try and pair it with an essence. It really makes a difference. I don’t notice any long term brightening effects from the toner, but I have noticed reduction in inflammation. Thus, the skin appears more even. Works great not only layered but with other skincare products and doesn’t affect sunscreen or makeup. It creates a smooth canvas instead and improves texture. I was a bit surprised by the scent at first. It smells herbal/earthy because it contains Milk Vetch Root Extract. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it’s not overwhelming either. Seeing how often I reach for this toner and how much of it I use, it doesn’t bother me in the least. This toner does not contain alcohol, fragrance or essential oils.
