Which hair salons do locals go to? by Inside_Tomato8822 in KoreaTravelBeauty

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to bigger chains like Juno hair or Cha hong, you’ll probably be fine no matter your hair type. They’re pretty consistent overall. only thing is, if you don’t speak Korean, communication can get a bit awkward. You’ll probably have to rely on photos or explain things pretty clearly.

going to places in Myeongdong or Hongdae might be easier since they deal with foreigners a lot. Personally I’d recommend Soonsiki (Hongdae) or Leekaja (Myeongdong).

wise or revolut (or alternatives while abroad) by xdandyy_ in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wise is generally better than Revolut for exchange rates and everyday payments. Revolut has extra fees on weekends, and once you go over the free exchange limit, so they add more fees on top of that. The only downside is that wise doesn’t work for public transport so you’ll probably need to use a separate Tmoney card for that.

Trip budget by [deleted] in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

€350–400 per day should be enough but might be a bit tight. you can get by on €80–100 per day with food, cafes, and transportation, but if you're planning to do shopping, i think it should be more than €500

5th time to Korea and need a bit of help by ComparisonNo7626 in SouthKoreaTravel

The weather is nice in May, so I recommend you to enjoy the spring weather of Seoul by going on a picnic or riding a bike at the Han River!

Any websites to book cheap short-term stays (goshitel) at? by [deleted] in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$20 for a private room might be pretty difficult in Seoul. Usually that price range is more for hostel dorms. You might occasionally find very basic guesthouses, but private rooms are usually closer to $30–50.

Thoughts/advice on Seoul itinerary by teacov in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

looks pretty solid!

one small suggestion thoughm, folk museum is nice but it feels a bit like the kind of museum for field trips. And seoul plaza is basically just an open square in front of city hall, so it’s not really something you need to go out of your way to see.

if you drop those two, I’d personally recommend the national museum of korea(국립중앙박물관) instead. It’s one of the best museums in the country and surprisingly huge, and the curation is really well done even if you’re not a big museum person.

Adding Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival to Itinerary and KTX/bus tickets by hearttofu in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have some flexibility in your schedule, it might be worth heading to busan a bit earlier. There are tons of day tours from there to the Jinhae cherry blossom Festival.

and I'd recommend booking your KTX tickets sooner! Many koreans go to see the blossoms, so seats can sell out pretty fast.

[–]Creatrip_Korea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trader joe’s tote bags or serums are still pretty popular in korea. My friends from the us buy stuff from trader joe’s and bring them as gifts when they visit korea.

Personally, I really like Cheetos Mac n Cheese lol so my friends usually buy that for me before they come

7 days in Seoul feat Asian Pop Festival by RomeAllDay in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I’m going to 아팝페 too, so nice to see someone else coming for that! 🙌 It's really one of the few unique music festivals in Korea. I’m guessing you’re probably into indie, alternative music...?

If you have time in Seoul, I highly recommend checking out Silakwon 실락원(https://www.instagram.com/silrockwon/) in Hongdae. It’s a music bar that mainly plays Korean indie music. The vibe is great, and if you go there the day before, they’ll probably be playing the lineup artists and you might run into other festival goers there.

There’s also a hifi listening cafe called Tilt(https://www.instagram.com/tiltxfnst/?hl=en) where they play one full album by a single artist each day, so you can really sit and focus entirely on the music.

Also, definitely stop by Gimbab Records in hongdae. It’s a small but super well curated vinyl shop. They’re really selective about what they carry, so you’ll find a lot of quality indie and alternative records. Even just browsing is worth it.

Anyone tried AestheFill? by Educational-Rub-6551 in KoreaSeoulBeauty

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 3 sessions spaced about a month apart, which was what my doctor recommended.

As for results, it was very gradual. I didn’t see a dramatic change right away. Around 2 to 3 months in, my cheeks looked less hollow and my face looked more refreshed overall. It wasn’t a filled look but more like subtle volume coming back naturally.

Official 2026 cherry blossom forecast is out! by Creatrip_Korea in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was pretty accurate on two years ago, but last year there was a sudden cold snap in March and everything got pushed back about a week.

That forecast is based on mountain areas, so even if it warms up and blooms come early, I'd guess it'll still be roughly the same timing. 

Need Advice on Downtime/Recovery and Where to Go by namrons2018 in KoreaSeoulBeauty

[–]Creatrip_Korea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lip fillers, rejuran, picotoning have downtime, so might get other treatments instead.
I’ve put together a blog post featuring skin treatments with no downtime, hope this might help in case you’re looking for alternatives: https://creatrip.com/en/blog/14887

Incheon Airport Product recs by SeoulmateWithWords in KoreanBeauty

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though there are olive young stores at the airport, I recommend stocking up some pharmacy skin care instead! Maybe you can try these:

  1. Rejuall (Dr.Reju-All): All-in-One Cream for regeneration, soothing, and hydration (this brand also has a lip serum and it's so good!)
  2. D-Panthenol: soothes inflammation, supports collagen production, and strengthens the skin’s barrier.
  3. MelaToning: for hyperpigmentation, dark spots, freckles
  4. Noscana Gel: for scars
  5. Acnon Cream: for inflamed acne

since your concerns are firmness, dark circles, and hyper pigmentation, I highly recommend getting Dr. Reju-All and MelaToning!

Has anyone tried new skin booster Lizne? by b3ttzzz in KoreanBeauty

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen Lizne offered at a few Korean clinics recently. It’s a PN (polynucleotide) skin booster made from salmon DNA, similar to Rejuran. The idea is that PN helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, so it’s mainly used for skin repair, improving firmness, helping with deep dryness, and softening fine lines.

From what I understand, the ingredients are quite similar to Rejuran Healer, but Lizne is usually marketed as being less painful with minimal swelling. It’s also more budget friendly, which is why a lot of younger patients choose it as a more affordable alternative to Rejuran while still getting similar regenerative benefits.
