There is no denying that the Philippines is hit by Hallyu, BIG TIME! Almost everything from South Korea is popular here, from Korean drama series, pop songs, and fashion to beauty! And in my blog alone which has its own K-Beauty section is obvious how popular they are. Despite that, buying their products is not that easy especially if you don’t live in Metro Manila where k-beauty brands are starting to open their stores locally. So where to buy Korean beauty products in the Philippines? Luckily, I know a lot of legit shops, some are based locally while some are based in South Korea and ship directly to the Philippines.

LOCAL SHOPS WHERE TO BUY KOREAN BEAUTY IN THE PHILIPPINES:

1. Shopee – This is the go-to shopping app for products that are not available locally. In the past few years, Kbeauty beauty brands opened official shops here. But there are also local resellers that you can trust. I even have a seperate review for Shopee Sellers.

2. Lazada – This is one of the most popular shopping app in the Philippines. And just like Shopee, many Kbeauty beauty brands opened official shops in here too.

2. KBeauty Cafe – I discovered this shop through the former Preview Magazine’s beauty editor, so you know they could be trusted. They also have a decent list of brands like Benton, By Wishtrend, CosRx, Heimish, Klairs, Missha, Neogen, Son & Park, and more! But what I like about them is they have reasonable prices, they keep their operating costs down so that can provide you the best value.

3. Skincare Curator – I discovered this local online beauty shop through a Facebook group and I was impressed by the products they sell from brands that are hard to find in the Philippines like Neogen, Klairs, Benton, Son & Park, Hada Labo, Pyungkang Yul, Heimish, CosRx even the Japanese brand Hada Labo, and more!

4. Zalora – This is one of the biggest shopping apps in the Philippines where you can buy clothes, shoes, accessories, and some beauty products from foreign and local brands. But they have a lot of Filipino brands too these days. For payments, they accept COD, PayPal, Bank Deposit, and Credit Card.

5. Watsons – These past 2 years, this drugstore’s vast array of Asian beauty products has improved. You can now find Klairs, CosRx, Canmake, Biore, Hada Labo, and more in their online shop and branches all over the Philippines. You can also buy some of their products on their official Lazada and Shopee pages.

9. Beauty Bar – This shop has been around since I was in grade school. They have many branches nationwide and they also run an online shop too. And you can find them in Lazada also. They brought us brands like Burt’s Bees, Clinique, Smashbox, Cover Girl, Paw Paw, and more, even local brands like Happy Skin and Human Nature. And last March 22, 2018, they just announced that they will be selling K-Beauty Brands too such as Neogen, Natural Pacific, CosRx, XOX, Too Cool For School, and Son & Park.

ONLINE SHOPS BASED IN SOUTH KOREA THAT SHIP TO THE PHILIPPINES

1. Style Korean – This one is my favorite K-beauty shop because they have a vast range of brands and products. Seriously, if there’s a K-beauty product you couldn’t find, there’s a HUGE chance you’ll find it here. The best part, they ship directly to your home in the Philippines. And no, it will not go through PhilPost. Their partner local courier is LBC.

2. Olive Young – This is a famous beauty store in South Korea. Almost every street there has Olive Young like it’s a convenience store. It’s a must-visit if you travel there. But if you can’t for now, you can order popular K-beauty products from their online global store. Don’t forget to use my coupon code “ALYPICKS12” to get a discount.

3. Wishtrend – This company also owns Klairs and By Wishtrend, two of my favorite skincare brands, but they also sell other brands like I’m From, Rovectin, and more. This is another shop which is based in Seoul, South Korea that ships in the Philippines. But unlike Style Korean and Althea, this one doesn’t have a local courier partner so your orders will be shipped through Korean Post, to be picked up or delivered by PhilPost or you can choose DHL.

4. YES STYLE – This is one of the most popular online Asian Fashion & Beauty shops. (But take note, this is NOT based in South Korea, they’re from Hong Kong.) I think a majority of fashion and beauty influencers have collaborated with this shop. They have almost everything from clothes, shoes, and a vast array of Asian beauty brands from 3CE, Hada Labo, Innisfree, Secret Key, CosRx, Biore, Canmake, and more! And don’t forget to use the code ALYSSA12 to get 5% off your first order and 2% off your future orders.

So far these are the places I know where to buy Korean beauty products in the Philippines. But I will keep updating this list every time I find a new one. Do you know a legit online shop? Share it below.
