Must-Buy Cosmetics During Olive Young Sales
SALE season is the best time to stock up on popular items at much lower prices!
Here are the top recommendations, including real usage impressions and reviews.
๐ท๏ธ AESTURA โ Cream Mist
A spray-type moisturizing cream thatโs great for dry airplane cabins or morning skincare.
It absorbs quickly, works even over makeup, and keeps the skin hydrated for a long time.
Most spray mists evaporate quickly, but this one contains actual moisturizing cream, so the hydration lasts much longer. Highly recommended! โญ๏ธ
๐ท๏ธ easydew โ Melatoning One-Day Ampoule
A doctorโs cosmetic brand created by a Korean pharmaceutical company.
Its key feature is the unique ingredient DW-EGF.
This human-type EGF is nano-liposome coated for easier absorption, helping skin turnover and collagen production.
My wife recommended it to me, and after using it regularly, I genuinely felt my dark spots getting lighter.
The photo shows a set, but the under-eye patch from the same line is also excellent.
โป Itโs quite rich and moisturizing, so those with oily skin may want to be cautious. โ ๏ธ
๐ท๏ธ VT Cosmetics โ Reedle Shot 100
A personal favorite โ a classic, but still amazing.
This serum contains countless micro-needles that help the ingredients penetrate the skin.
Works best when paired with a sheet mask.
There are 3 versions (100 / 300 / 700), and the difference is the number of beauty micro-needles:
100: 95,000 micro-needles
300: 237,500 micro-needles
700: 570,000 micro-needles
Reedle Shot contains its own active ingredients but also boosts absorption of your sheet mask.
Some reviews mention tingling or irritation, so (sensitive skin users beware) โ and even if 700 is fine for your face, avoid applying it to thin-skinned areas like the neck!
๐ท๏ธ manyo โ Purifying Cleansing Soda Foam
Rich foam cleanser that removes pore impurities and even sunscreen.
Cleans well without leaving the skin tight or dry.
A refreshing yet gentle everyday cleanser.
๐ท๏ธ SKINFOOD โ Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad
Our editor uses this every morning.
Soft, cushiony pads that donโt tear easily and feel refreshing while still hydrating.
Light enough to use before makeup but moisturizing enough to calm the skin โ I can see why she loves it.
Check the Olive Young reviews โ people rave about it.
The sheet mask from the same line is also perfect for men.
๐ Must-Buy Snacks & Foods During Olive Young Sales
Korean snacks and supplements are extremely popular among travelers โ and SALE season is the best time to stock up!
๐ท๏ธ Binggrae Protein Pop Chips โ Grilled Corn Flavor
Perfect for when youโre dieting but still want a snack!
Each bag contains 7g of protein, and itโs surprisingly filling.
Honestly the best protein chips Iโve ever had โ I even bought a whole box ๐
๐ท๏ธ Nothing Better Luv Tea โ Pumpkin Tea
A very popular pumpkin tea in Korea โ we always have it stocked at home.
Great for reducing bloating.
It doesnโt taste like pumpkin at all; it tastes like a smooth, mild tea with zero bitterness.
It brews quickly, which is a big plus.
๐ท๏ธ OSULLOC โ Matcha Pretzel
A snack I recommend to everyone visiting Korea.
Originally, it only came in a small size, but now they even have a big family-size bag.
A collaboration with OSULLOC, Koreaโs top tea brand.
These pretzels are coated in just-sweet-enough matcha chocolate โ perfect as a souvenir.
๐ท๏ธ orthomol โ Multivitamin & Mineral
The โHermรจsโ of vitamin supplements.
On days you feel tired or run-down, this really gives you a boost โ we always keep some at home.
Best taken after meals.
The cap contains two tablets, and the liquid portion underneath is a thick nutritional drink.
There are separate menโs and womenโs versions:
> vital m (for men)
> vital f (for women)
The packaging is in soft blue tones.
โ๏ธ Before You Go
It might be difficult to plan your Korea trip exactly around Olive Youngโs SALE periodโฆ
but even shifting your travel dates by just 1โ2 days could make a big difference!
Check the SALE schedule and your must-buy items in advance, and you can enjoy your first Korean trip with peace of mind โ and lots of great deals!
