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 test1 After using the morning and night ampoule (or watery liquid), apply an appropriate amount along skin texture. 2 Before applying makeup, dispense a small amount onto your palm and cover the entire face with the palms or mix two to three drops with ampoule or cream to cover the entire face for deep absorption.
CHOGONGJIN YOUNGAN OIL is a lightweight oil from Missha, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 38 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. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Betaine and Hydroxyethyl Urea, 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, Betaine, Hydroxyethyl Urea and Butylene Glycol.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Adenosine and Poria Cocos Extract.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, SOY Isoflavones and Pueraria Lobata Root Extract.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
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. 6 ingredients on the label have not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.
It does contain 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.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
