I’ve been lurking on this sub for a while and honestly, I was pretty shocked to see the difference between what’s "viral" on Reddit vs. what’s actually blowing up here in Korea.
For context, I live in Seoul and I’m a Gold Olive Young VIP (so yeah, I spend way too much money there lol). A lot of the K-Beauty products I see all over Reddit are barely talked about here, while the real HG (Holy Grail) items in Korea don't seem to get much love internationally.
I’ve tried everything from high-end clinics to local drugstore favorites. Since there’s such a huge gap between the international "K-Beauty" scene and the actual local market, I thought I’d do a little AMA!
Ask me anything about:
• What’s actually topping the Olive Young charts right now.
• The difference between Reddit-famous brands and local favorites.
• Actual skin clinic trends in Seoul (like Rejuran, etc.).
• Any specific product recommendations or "Is [Brand X] actually popular in Korea?"
Let's discuss! 🇰🇷✨

If I had to pick just one, it’s definitely Rejuran! Winters in Korea are brutal and so dry—it literally feels like my skin is cracking from the inside out. But since I started getting Rejuran, that deep dehydration is gone. It’s also worked wonders for my acne-prone skin, and honestly, the best part is the recovery speed. Even if I get some post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, my skin bounces back so much faster now. Here are my authentication logs for all the Rejuran treatments I’ve received so far!
