First Impression & Experience: ★★★★☆
Packaging made with recyclable paper, jar is thick glass material, so it's quite heavy. It has creamy texture with slight oily feeling when applied. It's a bit sticky when applied, but after a minute, it dries down to dewy finish. The cream has no fragrance at all, but has a slight buttery smell.
Pros:
- Large volume with affordable price
- Minimal ingredient list
- Non-sticky
Cons:
- Breaks me out around my oily skin area (T-zone)
- Doesn't provide enough moisture to my dry skin (U-zone)
- Hard to carry around cos of the glass material, need to transfer to a small container for better convenience
Final
Thoughts & Conclusion:
The cream doesn't suit my skin at all, no matter the oily T-zone or dry U-zone (I have dry-combination skin).
The next day after I used this product, the area on my face where I don't usually break out has pimples & a lot of tiny bumps starts to grow underneath the skin on my forehead. The skin around my mouth peels and itch caused by the dryness.
I've tried with more layers of toners to give my skin enough hydration before sealing with this moisturizer, but it still doesn't change the result of my skin irritation.
After giving it a week of try & new break out still happening, I've moved on this cream to use on my body, even if it doesn't provide enough moisture to my dry elbows & hands.
It's such a disappointment as I've heard a lot of good reviews about Pyunkang Yul online, especially for sensitive skin, but it has further worsen my skin condition when I was going through a damaged skin barrier period.
Perhaps, I should tried the ^Nutrition Cream instead because it's more suitable for my skin type, compared to this which is for oily-combination cream (I bought it because this was the only Pyunkang Yul cream on stock that time).
Price vs.
Value: ★★★★☆
RM75 bought on June 2020 from Shopee Malaysia ready stock shop with products directly import from Korea
Size: 100ml
Repurchase? ★☆☆☆☆
No, considering the break outs it has caused & lack of moisturisation even if used as body lotion;
If you have oily-combination/oily skin, it's worth the bang for a buck because of the huge volume (so far the moisturizers around this price range in the market is only in 50ml or 80ml). But no guarantee whatsoever because your skin might react differently to the ingredients in the product.
