Balancing Gel

The texture is kind of like old **** that crumbles in your fingers. It was not smooth to apply at all and my face felt sticky after application. Not very pleasant. The smell is somewhat sour and almost rancid,
Which makes me wonder if I got a bad batch. I didn’t find that it helped my skin feel moisturized, so I have stopped use.

It's good. Just weird consistency. Lots of patting. Will enjoy till gone. But prefer face oil.

I couldn’t get used to the consistency of this gel, even though it’s very nice after product is spread on face, I don’t think I’ll repurchase.

I was trying to get the Pyunkang Yul moisturizer cream in the store I went to, and mistakenly took this balancing gel instead as it looks EXACTLY THE SAME, packaging wise (I hope this gets fixed by the company). I was a bit annoyed, but researched about this product anyway. But lo and behold, I so love it! I really like the "glass skin" glow that it leaves the skin, and it does make your skin supple and well hydrated after use, even the following morning. It does clump easily but when mixed with a little moisturizer, (in my case I mix it with my Skin 1004 Centella serum) then it glides easily. But still have to apply it fast, fast, fast as it still clumps if it stays on the skin too long. But over all, I'm loving the product!

First off let me say nothing ever works for me, I have itchy irritated skin that breaks out easily. Around my eyes has begun looking dehydrated these last couple years and nothing seems to help that either. I’m fact lately anything under my eye causes perioral dermatitis. I ordered this just for the heck of it, at this point I have perioral dermatitis on my face in multiple areas and I usually buy Marie Veroniques serum and oil. But just for the two items it’s over 200$. So I ordered this and it’s weird. It’s honey texture alright, I put a nickel size amount on my hands after a shower and rub and pat it in my face quickly. Oh my god. It stopped the itchy feeling I feel daily in my skin, it hydrated it like crazy but it sunk in and it’s a matte like finish. I love this stuff already. I hope they never reformulate or discontinue it. It’s like my holy grail. Did I mention my perioral dermatitis doesn’t itch and is starting to heal? Like how the heck did I not try this before!

If you have any skin irritation or need a boost of hydration and moisture, nothing beats this gel. It has saved my skin from allergic reactions and flakiness more times than I can count. It does have a sticky texture, so if ou don't like that you should avoid. But it is excellent at what it does.

I started using a retinoid this fall, and any moisturizer I used afterward irritated my skin, so I knew I needed to do something. I started using the balancing gel, and the irritation issues disappeared; it is exactly what my skin needed. I double cleanse, then I apply toner, essence, retinoid, moisturizer, balancing gel. I still use the balancing gel on nights when I don’t use the retinoid, and my skin just drinks it up. The consistency is a little different than a cream, but if you pat it into your skin, it goes on like a dream.

I've noticed a significant difference with my skin! Specifically with my hyperpigmentation. I have some stubborn discoloration and even with Vitamin C I haven't been able to see anything diminish until this product.

I did read a review that was really helpful. Use equal parts of your moisturizer and Pyunkang Gel and it will allow you to distribute the product evenly. :)

Like others, I had trouble using this product when I first purchased it. However, when I visited the Pyunkang Yul "shop" in Seoul, the nice lady there recommended combining it with moisturizer (like on the back of your hand or in your palm) and applying it to your face to make the texture easier to deal with. Been using it that way ever since successfully :)

I mainly use this product as the last step of my nighty skincare routine. I was waking up to really dry and tight skin but after using this product, my skin is so hydrated in the morning. I love it!

Agree with the other reviewers who stated this wasn’t as moisturizing as expected. This will be a great moisturizer for the summer time with its cooling & refreshing effect but not great for super dry winter skin.

This stuff is stressful to put on because if your skin isn’t wet enough or you don’t move fast enough then it pills up into little balls that you basically just have to throw away

Watching the video on how to apply this helped, but it’s still tough to get proper coverage without lots of patting. No noticeable improvement in the dryness and dehydration of my skin.

Like everyone else has said, this stuff has the consistency of honey which is just too much for me to keep on overnight. It's a bit difficult to handle and spread, and I will likely not reach for this too much in the future. Ingredients are great though, so I'd possibly try this as a mask to leave on for 20-30 minutes.

Pyunkang Yul Balancing Gel

The product I didn't know I was missing. It has the consistency of honey, until it touches my face and somehow becomes a cool gel. Feels like an ideal way to lock in my whole routine. I love it.

I’ve been using this as a last step in my PM skincare, to seal in moisture from essence, oil, and balm. My chin tends to be very dry and weirdly this seems to make it more dry - it's seems to almost counteract the moisturizing effect of the oil and balm. I’ll keep trying it but I can’t say it’s working for me at the moment.

The only product line that helps with clogged pores and pore size.

I use this as the last step of my evening routine—pat it into your skin—do not rub it in. I have rosacea & so far this has not caused any issues. This is my second purchase from this line. So far so good!

Pyunkang Yul Balancing Gel

This gel has a weird texture, it´s so cooling and fresh on the skin. I use it when I feel my skin misses some extra moisture as last step in my routine, however it takes a while to fully absorb, sometimes I use it on the spots I feel an irritation and it´s gone in a minute. I´d repurchase but I think I´d like to try the Moisture Ampuole just to see how it is.

This balancing gel is definitely a strange, sticky, thick consistency that can take some getting used. Besides that I really have nothing bad to say about it, I use it very last in my routine as it is the thickest product in my routine. Curious to try other Pyunkang Yul products.

I'm in love with this brand! Now this product is definitely one of a kind. The texture is very different. It starts out thick and sticky but it soaks in and sets so well on your skin. I've been using this product for maybe over two weeks now and my face is definitely more hydrated and tighter. I use this product alongside the masks, ampule, and mist. Of course, I only use this product at night. I have oil-combo skin as well as extreme sensitivity as I have eczema right next to my hairline and neck. There is not scent, no irritating feeling, or anything that has bothered me yet. I will continue to use and will most likely repurchase again if it does an even better job after a month of usage.

Definitely follow application instructions (pat in don't rub) but other than that I LOVE this as a last step for skin care at night. I swear my skin feels bouncier in the mornings.

Great for reactive skin like mine! I like the texture! It’s sticky but it goes away
