Take the skin testTarget and soothe troublesome spots with the Pyunkang Yul Calming Clear Spot Patch (Intensive Care). These 0.2mm hydrocolloid patches are designed to cover and calm larger blemishes, providing an intense soothing effect while effectively absorbing impurities and pus. Formulated with three powerful skin-soothing ingredients, Centella Asiatica, Tea Tree Oil, and Houttuynia Cordata extracs, these patches help to reduce irritation and protect against external germs. Ideal for all skin types, they offer a discreet, protective barrier that promotes faster healing and clearer skin.
Calming Clear Spot Patch (Intensive Care) is a lightweight patch from Pyunkang Yul, a brand based in Korea. The ingredient list runs to 9 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. There is very little humectant content, so this is not the step in a routine that adds water to skin.
Oil control: Moderate. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract and Niacinamide.
On richness alone it suits Balanced 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 hydration, antioxidant protection 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.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
Use it in the evening. In a routine it goes on affected areas only, after serums. Keep it to the spot itself — treating clear skin buys irritation, not results.
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.
