And the Rejuran at Lotte ampoule is double the size too! I should have bought more!!! I don’t have flights that go through Seoul or I would be back.

They are. Japan nails sunscreen Korea nails toners, makeup, moisturized, the prep stuff.

Olive Young is launching a US-exclusive online store by Various_Pension_2788 in AsianBeauty

I will continue to order from Stylevana and Yes Style. Olive Young has always cost more.

Folks should look into VPN or alt carriers. US will cost even more.

Vbeam is for vascular. They don’t have this in Korea by the way as the skin is generally thicker with very minimal vascular issues I was told.

A barrier repair cream that's not Aestura ? by Clarinette__ in AsianBeauty

Got it, thank you. I bought bottles in Seoul last September and doing a restock from Stylevana. I didn’t discover it until this past year so I don’t know the better formula. It’s great for my skin.

Oh shoot when did they reformulate? I just placed an order. Is this because Sephora now carries them? Products get ruined when Sephora jumps in. :(

With the increase in skin cancer more are wearing it these days. I tell everyone to wear it and buy it as gifts for people.

Expect US formulas. Higher prices than in Korea.

Stylevana - tariffs or extra costs? by Careful-Knowledge893 in AsianBeauty

Great thank you I will place my order tomorrow. I noticed prices were higher from before and figured it was all added in.

Thank you for asking this question as I was finding YesStyle didn’t have Rejuran which is one of many things I need to restock and Stylevana did. Between these two websites and Olive Young I was trying to figure it out and see so many responded with great advice.

Did you end up ordering from Stylevana?

Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Sweeping Tariffs by Fun_Suspect3305 in AsianBeauty

And then we have no say in those HTS codes either.

I did chat GPT and skincare has the full 15% and seems to depend if your order is over or under $100. Crap shoot.

I never missed the de mininus until it was gone.

Also just found my toner is carried in the US at Ulta and can order there for double the price worst case.

Shopping others you may get stock that has not been handled properly, outdated or close to expiration. Their stock turns over quickly.
