Where can I safely buy Korean skincare in the EU?
Use retailers that disclose VAT, provide EU return addresses, and list full INCI. Prefer stores with transparent shipping timelines and country-specific customer support.
How do I avoid surprise customs and fakes?
Buy from EU-based warehouses or sellers that collect VAT at checkout. Check tamper seals, batch codes, and distributor info. Be skeptical of ultra-low pricing on new launches.
What should I check on the product page?
Look for full ingredient lists, PAO (period after opening), UVA/UVB claims for sunscreens, and usage instructions. Avoid listings that hide INCI or copy-paste brand blurbs.
What if an item is constantly out of stock?
Consider a skin-goal match rather than a brand-match. If you wanted hydration + barrier support, pick a peptide or oil alternative with similar outcomes.

How do I build a K-beauty-style routine with fewer steps?
Keep the logic, not the layers: hydrate (toner), treat (vitamin C or peptides), seal (light cream), protect (SPF). At night, alternate renewal (acids/bakuchiol) with barrier care.
What if my skin is sensitive?
Adopt a three-night rotation:
Night A: Peptides + moisturizer.
Night B: Glycolic (thin layer), then moisturizer.
Night C: Bakuchiol oil, then cream.
Repeat, pausing if redness lingers.
What should I do before switching?
Patch test new products on the jawline for 48 hours. Change one item at a time. Keep your SPF unchanged while testing treatments.
