Ingredient callouts

Ceramides (ceramide np 0.50% - 1.20%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 1.00% - 1.45% and hydroxyethyl urea 0.80% - 1.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Pyunkang Yul Peeling Gel helps to gently exfoliate skin and improve skin texture.

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: betaine salicylate, hydroxyethyl urea.

betaine salicylate 0.3% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Exfoliating acid, a "relative" of salicylic acid

hydroxyethyl urea 0.8% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

allantoin 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Moisturizing peeling gel gently exfoliates and boosts skin moisture with allantoin extracted from comfrey leaf and root to promote radiance.

Source: Yesstyle

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: hydroxyethyl urea, sodium hyaluronate.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: ceramide np, caprylyl glycol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np

sodium hyaluronate 1% - 1.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

hydroxyethyl urea 0.8% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A derivative of urea, a compound that is naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients

ceramide np 0.5% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
