Fit by skin type
General, ingredient-based — not your personalized match.
See how this fits your skin
Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testLotion-like texture that gently penetrates into the skin and boasts a rich nourishing and firming feeling After using ampoule essence, apply an adequate amount of the product on the face. Gently press into the skin with the palms of the hands to promote absorption.
CHOGONGJIN YOUNGAN EMULSION is a lightweight emulsion from Missha, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 62 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Propanediol.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Benzyl Benzoate, Niacinamide and Chlorella Vulgaris Extract.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Several ingredients carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive, this is one to patch test carefully or approach slowly.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it. 10 ingredients on the label have not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.
It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.

Judged by the same curated rules our routine checker uses. It reads the ingredients, not the label.
Nothing in this formula belongs to a group our rules can put in conflict, so it layers freely. Order still matters — thinnest texture first.
