5 Things Under ₩10,000 to Buy at Olive Young in Korea (August 2026)
Visiting KoreaOn a budget
Who this is for — You're going to Korea, you'll walk into an Olive Young, and you want to know what's worth grabbing without thinking hard about it.
People come home from Korea with a full suitcase because the in-store prices bear no relation to what the same things cost shipped. These five are all under ₩10,000 on the shelf, none of them are so specific that they'll sit unused, and every one is cheap enough that buying two isn't a decision. That's the mindset the shop is designed for — the baskets around you will be full of exactly this kind of thing.

MedihealMEDIHEAL Essential Mask Sheet 20ea
메디힐 에센셜 마스크팩 1매 고기능★4.9$53/ ₩1,000₩1,000 in store · 1,643 international reviews · rated 4.9
A single sheet mask for about a thousand won — the cheapest thing on this list by a distance, and the thing every tourist basket is full of. Buy a stack rather than one; they weigh nothing, they're the easiest gift to hand out at home, and at this price you can use one whenever your face feels dull instead of saving them for an occasion.

LINDSAYLindsay Modeling Mask Cup Pack 28g
린제이 진정약초 모델링 팩 (컵팩) 28g★4.7$4.5/ ₩3,000₩3,000 in store · 2,089 international reviews · rated 4.7
A modelling pack that you mix, spread on thick, and peel off in one rubbery piece twenty minutes later. Half the appeal is the novelty of it, but it's centella-based and thousands of international buyers have rated it well, so it holds up better than the format suggests. A good thing to do on the evening of a long travel day.

코스알엑스 더 6 펩타이드 스킨 부스터 세럼 30ml★4.7$25/ ₩5,600₩5,600 in store · 378 international reviews · rated 4.7
A peptide booster serum for under four thousand won. Peptides are the gentle end of anti-ageing — nothing that stings, nothing that needs a patch test, nothing you have to schedule around — so this is a low-risk way to try an active you've read about without committing to a full-price bottle.

바이오힐보 판테셀 리페어시카 크림미스트★4.7$21/ ₩7,000₩7,000 in store · 757 international reviews · rated 4.7
A cica mist rather than a cream, which is what makes it useful on a trip: you can spray it over makeup on a dry hotel-air afternoon without disturbing anything. Centella and panthenol for the calming side, and it's fragrance-free, so it suits most skin.

rom&ndrom&nd Glasting Melting Balm (17 Colors)
롬앤 글래스팅 멜팅 밤★4.7$14.99/ ₩6,440₩6,440 in store · 4,001 international reviews · rated 4.7
A tinted lip balm, and the one non-skincare thing here. Korean lip products are the souvenir people are most likely to actually finish, this one is the brand's best-known formula, and the shade wall in store is the part of the shop everyone ends up standing at anyway.
About these prices: Prices are Korean in-store list prices as of 14 August 2026. The Olive Young Global price shown alongside is a separate figure and is often much higher, partly because express shipping is built into it and partly because the global listing is sometimes a multi-pack of the same item.
Good products. Bad combination?
A list is only half the answer — what matters is whether the things you own work together. Add what's already in your routine and unnie scores the whole routine out of 100, flags actives that clash, and sorts everything into morning and night. Free, and no account.
How this list was made: Cheapest first by Olive Young Global price, counting only products with at least 150 international reviews and a rating of 4.6 or higher — cheap and badly rated is not a bargain. Checked 2026-08-14.
