Pretty confident we all agree that Korean skincare has mastered the art of balancing innovation with tradition. And honestly, we didn’t think it could get any better. Like, how do you top sheet masks, glass skin and overnight collagen sleep masks? Turns out you can or at least Hanyul can and has with its new Yuja Brightening 2-in-1 Mask to Foam Cleanser.
Part brightening mask, part daily cleanser, this product’s multitasking formula smooths, clarifies and revives our dull-looking skin. Star ingredient, vitamin-C-rich yuja citrus fruit brightens uneven skin tone and boosts radiance. Niacinamide and glutathione work alongside it to visibly even our complexion and improve clarity, while seven types of ceramides and five forms of hyaluronic acid help keep skin hydrated, soft and comfortably balanced. Then there’s the exfoliating blend: yuja seed powder plus exfoliating acids LHA, AHA and PHA that gently buff away dead skin cells to improve texture and glow without a hint of harshness.
But what we love most it the products innovative capacity to function as both a mask and as a cleanser. Applied onto clean dry skin, it works like a treatment mask, giving the active ingredients time to soften buildup and refresh our complexion. Add water and it transforms into a rich, cushiony foam cleanser that removes everything from sunscreen and makeup to the day’s dirt and grime. Suitable for all skin types, it can be used daily as a cleanser or two to three times weekly as a mask treatment.
Housed in a soft squeeze tube, the formula is hygienic, travel-friendly and easy to dispense without wasting product—another nod to the Korean brand’s efficacy. Have to say: we’re more than impressed. Hanyul is changing not only how our skin looks, but how we approach caring for it.
Hanyul Yuja Brightening 2-in-1 Mask to Foam Cleanser, $30 for 120 ml, available at Sephora.
