The three brands US buyers ask about most, and how ordering direct compares to Amazon.
The Amazon markup
A Beauty of Joseon sunscreen retails around 13,000 KRW ($9.50) in Korea. Amazon listings commonly sit at $18-24 with variable authenticity.
Authenticity
Buying from the brand's own Korean store or Olive Young removes counterfeit risk entirely, which is the main reason experienced buyers order direct.
Bundle sets
Korean brand sites sell multi-packs and gift sets that are not exported. These are typically the best value per unit.
Restock timing
Popular items restock on the Korean site weeks before overseas stock returns.
