Pyunkang Yul Intensive Repair Cream — Ceramide Moisturizer 1.7 fl oz | Shea Butter & Copper Tripeptide for Dry Skin

Pyunkang Yul PKY Intensive Repair Cream is a rich ceramide moisturizer formulated with copper tripeptide, shea butter, and macadamia oil to deeply hydrate and strengthen dry, fragile skin.

Designed for skin that feels tight, rough, or depleted, this 1.7 fl. oz. cream combines barrier-supporting ceramides with humectant peptides and nourishing plant oils. Instead of relying on synthetic retinoids, the formula uses antioxidant-rich botanical extracts to help calm redness and defend against environmental stressors while delivering sustained moisture. Its texture aims to soak in without leaving a heavy, sticky finish so you can layer it under makeup or heavier nighttime treatments.

How does this cream rebuild the skin barrier?

The cream uses ceramides as the structural lipids that help seal moisture into the outer skin layer, while copper tripeptide acts as a humectant to attract and hold water molecules. Together they support the skin's natural barrier functions and reduce trans-epidermal water loss.

• Ceramides: reinforce the lipid matrix to prevent evaporation.
• Copper tripeptide: draws and retains moisture for longer hydration.
• Shea butter and macadamia oil: supply nourishing lipids to smooth and soften.

Will it feel heavy on very dry or aging skin?

Although it's intended for extremely dry skin, the formulation absorbs readily and avoids the greasy residue common to heavier creams. The result is intensive moisture without a clinging finish, making it suitable for daytime and nighttime use.

• Light, fast-absorbing texture that still delivers rich hydration.
• Non-sticky finish compatible with layering under serums or sunscreen.
• Balances oil and moisture to reduce the appearance of dryness-related flaking.

What natural extracts are used instead of retinol, and why?

The cream features three plant-derived extracts—tree peony bark sap, Cornus officinalis, and turmeric root—that provide antioxidant support without the irritation potential of retinoids. These extracts help soothe redness and support a more even-looking tone while protecting skin from oxidative triggers.

• Tree peony bark sap: calming antioxidant properties for sensitive skin.
• Cornus officinalis: supports skin tone and resilience.
• Turmeric root extract: gentle antioxidative defense to reduce oxidative stress.

How should I use this cream in my routine?

Apply the intensive repair cream after cleansing and your water-based serums to lock in moisture and strengthen the skin barrier. It works well as a final step for daytime hydration under sunscreen or as a restorative night cream when paired with lighter treatment serums.

• Use morning and/or evening after serums and essences.
• Apply a pea-sized amount and pat gently for full absorption.
• Layer under sunscreen during the day or over targeted treatments at night.

Who is this for: Pyunkang Yul PKY Intensive Repair Cream is best for people with dry, tight, or aging-prone skin who need sustained hydration without heavy residue. It's especially suited to those seeking barrier-repair ingredients—ceramides and copper tripeptide—and prefer botanical antioxidants over harsher active ingredients. If you want a moisturizing, fast-absorbing cream to strengthen compromised skin and soothe redness, this product is formulated to address those concerns.
