Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser vs Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner

I bought mine on Shoppi so this cost 387 pesos, 487 ml and plus shipping pass. So I think I paid around 440 pesos for this product. I would say nahind...

Not from Jolse, I picked this one up at Sephora. This is just an ok product for me. It’s a thick gel formula that sets on your skin in about 10 minutes. It does feel like a layer of product which is why its supposed to be used as a sleeping mask, but it’s in no way greasy or uncomfortable

It’s meh, I typically do not break out on my face but this stuff caused me some problems - unfortunately! My skin is slightly dry and this product made my face even more dry and left me with some minor pimples on my chin. This wasn’t a problem for me before. I stopped using and replaced it with something else, and my problems went away! I wish I liked this because I know so many people and professionals love it, but it didn’t quite work for me.

So what I love for bad days is The Face Shop Herb Day Lip and Eye Remover Tissues (wipes, I just use for my whole face because it's gentle and easy to feel clean without a lot of scrubbing), Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner, and Manyo Bifida Complex Ampoule. I'll follow-up with a moisturizer and lip balm if I feel up to it. I'll just grab what I need and bring them to the couch and go through the mini-routine while watching tv wrapped up in a blanket.

Soon will be adding Neutrogena Age Shield Face Oil-Free Sunscreen w/ Broad Spectrum SPF 110 to my Am routine. I JUST got this and have not yet added it to my routine as I was waiting to see how the other new products work out while I'm still being a hermit lol.

Late 20s. Oily, cystic acne and milia prone skin, dehydration prone. I also have Keratosis Pilaris. What I tend to avoid: pure oils/oils in high concentrations, collagen, snail, ceramides, ferments (most recently)

If your skin is dry, peeling, and painful, adding La Roche Posay CicaBaume at night is great.

I have the Pyunkyang Yul Essence Toner and have seen rave reviews of it here but found it quite unremarkable.
