Pyunkang Yul Low pH Pore Deep Cleansing Foam
Pyunkang Yul's daily foaming cleanser, in keeping with a brand whose whole approach is short ingredient lists and no theatre. It produces a proper dense foam — more than the low-pH gels — while staying mildly acidic, which is a harder balance to strike than it sounds. The pore claim refers to how thoroughly it clears surface oil, not to any resurfacing action. Good value, plain packaging, no fragrance to speak of.
Who it suits
Combination and oily skin that wants the satisfaction of a real lather without the tightness that usually comes with it. Works as an evening second cleanse for most skin types. Dry and sensitive skin will probably find it more than they need — a low-foam gel or a milk cleanser is kinder, particularly in cold weather.
How to use it
A small amount lathered in wet hands first, then massaged over damp skin for around thirty seconds and rinsed lukewarm. Evening as the second step after an oil or balm; morning only if your skin is genuinely oily on waking. Follow with hydrating toner while skin is still damp rather than after it has dried.
