3 Essential Steps When Visiting Olive Young
As a must-visit destination for any trip to South Korea, Olive Young is the perfect place to find countless K-beauty brands in one spot. Before heading into the store, it is helpful to keep these steps in mind for an efficient shopping experience.
Check In-Store Popularity Rankings
Many product displays throughout the store feature 'Awards' stickers. These serve as a mark of products that have been most loved by consumers over the past year.
- Prioritize products that have won category awards.
- Use the bestseller display in the center of the store to identify current trends.
- Test textures and scents at the new product trial zone.
Take Advantage of Tax Refunds and Discounts
Immediate tax refund services for international tourists add to the joy of shopping. By presenting your passport, you can receive an instant tax deduction at checkout.
- Present your passport before payment to check if tax refunds are available.
- Check the Olive Young app for real-time discount coupons or promotions.
- Compare whether a brand's 1+1 promotional set is more economical than buying individual items.
When you begin shopping, it is best to approach by category, starting from basic skincare that suits your skin type to color cosmetics. You can ask store staff for recommendations on popular items, and most products have testers available so you can check the pigmentation or texture yourself. In particular, sheet masks and small-sized travel kits are popular as gifts, so be sure to take a look.
