Review: Pyunkang Yul Acne Line Set

Acne sucks. What's worse is, I'm way past the adolescence stage and even though I'm washing my face daily, I still get zits. And annoyingly, there's no one-size-fits-all acne product that magically cures you overnight.

To be honest, I've tried several products that promises to cure pimples (overnight). Yet, I haven't found the perfect one until I came across Go Bloom & Glow and found Pyunkang Yul Acne line set.

I wasn't familiar with the brand because, well, I'm a skincare noob. So I Googled it and was surprised at how popular and well-received the brand is all over the world.

So to give you a background, Pyunkang Yul is a cruelty-free brand developed by the renowned Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic in South Korea, an institution well-known for treating skin disorders with their traditional and medicinal products.

Pyunkang Yul removes all unnecessary chemical substances from their products one typically finds on the ingredients list, utilizing only the minimum, most gentle and safe ingredients. This means no scents, to textural enhancers, and your sensitive skin’s dream come true.

I have been using the Pyunkang Yul Acne Line Set for a week and I have a lot of good things to say about them. They certainly did not disappoint. But...

There's still more to know about their line than what's basically promised. So here, I've rounded up the things you should know about each product on their Acne Line Set.

THOUGHTS:

I like that these products are not scented.
They are lightweight and very hydrating to the skin.
They could be more effective when used consistently for a longer time.
From 7 days of using these products, I noticed changes on my skin already. My pores are now tighter and I have lesser sebum excretion. I also don't have oily face now.
It didn't heal my pimples completely after using it for a week but it heals faster than normal. Overnight, the fuss is gone but the bump didn't fade immediately.
I have lesser breakouts than before.
