The best skin I’ve ever had came from a 10-step Korean skin care routine sold by Costco. (If Costco ever restocks it, I’d buy a lifetime supply. Just saying to any Costco buyers who might be reading this.) I’ll always remember visiting an Olive Young store in Seoul, amazed by the extensive skin care options available. I left with bee propolis, snail mucin, sheet masks, serums, and other items that looked great on my bathroom counter and worked wonders on my skin. In my opinion, Korean skin care products are among the best in the world.
The PinkSeoul box is filled with such products. Each subscriber receives a Welcome Box first, containing skin care essentials. Mine included ceramide and aloe sheet masks, a reusable grocery bag, an eye cream, a cleansing foam, a glow serum, a toner, and a moisturizer. It was essentially a complete skin care routine in a single box.
Upon signing up, you’ll complete a quiz about your skin and concerns. After receiving the Welcome Box, you’ll get tailored boxes based on your quiz responses. There are three sizes available—The PinkSeoul Mini Box ($30/box) suits all ages and includes two full-size products and five mask products. The standard PinkSeoul box ($40/box) is for those under 35, and PinkSeoul Plus ($50/box) is recommended for ages 35 and up. The latter two boxes feature at least four full-size K-beauty products, two masks, and one accessory item. PinkSeoul ships every two months.
Finding the right skin care routine can be challenging, and this box might be excessive unless you have friends and family willing to take products off your hands. With full-size products, you’ll quickly accumulate a backstock. But if you’re a skin care enthusiast eager to try new ingredients or perfect your regimen, this box is worth trying. I also value the brand’s Pay It Forward program, which sends skin care boxes to women battling cancer.
Plans and Pricing: PinkSeoul is priced at $30, $40, or $50 per box based on the selected tier. Each box contains a mix of full-size items, accessories, and masks, depending on the chosen tier. Shipping is complimentary.
