Pyunkang Yul
Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner
Built almost entirely around milk vetch root extract, a humectant with a strong reputation in Korean skincare for calming and hydrating compromised skin.
The alcohol-free version specifically avoids the drying effect that made older witch hazel toners notorious — tannins here provide mild astringent action without stripping.
