Effortless Shopping in Korea: How to Easily Buy from Olive Young

What is Olive Young?

The store carries everything from well-known sheet masks to innovative cushion compacts, along with limited-edition collaborations and early access to trending items. While Olive Young is a popular destination for shoppers in Korea, it also operates an online store accessible from abroad.

For international customers, shopping through platforms like Delivered Korea can be beneficial. With this service, you can buy from Olive Young and other Korean shops at the same time, which helps save on shipping and makes things a bit easier.

What to buy at Olive Young?

They’ve got all kinds of stuff—skincare, makeup, beauty tools, health products, and more—so there’s a lot to choose from, no matter what you’re looking for. The store also offers specialized areas such as dermatology-focused cosmetics, men’s grooming items, and a premium collection called Luxe Edit.

Products include serums, sunscreens, masks, hair treatments, body care, supplements, and even non-beauty items like fashion accessories and stationery. To help customers navigate options, Olive Young provides product rankings that highlight both overall bestsellers and top picks within each category.

If you’re shopping within South Korea, Olive Young also offers a same-day delivery service called 오늘드림 (Today Delivery), which is useful for those needing quick access to their orders.

A Simple Guide to the Olive Young Websites

There are two main Olive Young websites—one for Korean users and another for international customers. The global site is designed with international shoppers in mind, offering multiple language and currency options, and making it easy to buy K-beauty products from overseas.

The Korean website, however, typically features a broader product range, including more exclusive items and time-limited promotions. One notable event is the 올영세일 (Ol-Young Sale), held four times a year, during which customers can find significant discounts—sometimes up to 70% off.

How to Shop on the Korean Site

To explore the Korean website (www.oliveyoung.co.kr), users can browse freely but must register an account to make purchases. While using Korean search terms yields the best results, many English keywords—such as “glossy lip,” “moisturizer,” or “sun cushion”—also return relevant product listings.

For example, to find Torriden’s moisturizer, typing “Torriden” in the search bar will display available products. The site occasionally features value sets that offer better pricing or include complimentary items.

Product pages provide key information such as price, size (용량), and images. Additional details and customer reviews can be found further down the page or under the 리뷰 (review) tab. There’s also an option to filter out reviews submitted through Olive Young’s product trial program.

Once you’re ready to purchase, items can be added to the cart and checked out directly. Alternatively, services like Delivered Korea can assist with placing the order on your behalf.
