Where to buy Korean Skincare online in India? (Part - 2) Online websites that sell Korean skincare in India

When I was first bitten by the K-beauty bug, I was restless. Because that was the time when no K-beauty brand had launched in India and I could only find few sheet masks from the brand called Dermal Collagen in Amazon and Flipkart.

My heart was left unsatisfied and forward to a few months, Innisfree launched in India and they opened their store in Delhi. And many stores are only around Delhi. I know Delhi is the capital of our country and all, but why flock only there? Even now they have not come to the south of India and may be they will open one more store in Delhi and surroundings.

If they had really researched before opening their stores, their first store should have been in the North-East.

Enough of the rant you say, and I can hear you.

Now, these are the stores from where you can get your Korean skincare and makeup products. I have included the online stores first in this post and a few Instagram resellers in the next post.

I have not bought from all of them. But I have spent a lot in shopping from a few of the following stores and sellers.

Samples :

Nykaa often has promotion sales and during those times, you can see in the brand page what is being offered. Most of the times, Innisfree promotions are running and they offer a sample set if your purchase limit is above a certain limit.( Example: Innisfree bestseller kit with Green tea seed serum, Orchid cream and volcanic clay mask (each 5-10ml) when you purchase above 999 INR).

The samples are a great way to try out products before buying the full size. And those samples come in handy during travel!

Promotions/Sales:

The Face Shop has discount sales and buy 5 get 5 free (OR buy 7 get 7)

 during sale periods. Innisfree has sample sales or you get a sheet mask for purchasing above a certain limit.

It’s Skin was launched recently in Nykaa and they are offered with discounts and sheet mask promotion during sales.

My favourite products:

The Face Shop – Sheet masks! My foray into mainstream K-beauty was their sheet masks. Though they are not the best in the market, they are the cheapest masks you can get when you buy during sales. My advice – Buy in bulk during sales. Do not buy when they are at 100 INR. Not worth it.

Innisfree: The Capsule masks. I love the seaweed and Green tea one. Also their green tea range is amazing. Worth splurging on!

It’s Skin: Their Effector series! There are different types in them, and you can choose according to your skin type. And also their collagen toner and cream!

Dear, Klairs : Their Supple preparation facial toner!

 Dearpacker: Their sheet masks are thin and easy to apply. But they are not much hydrating though!

2.Amazon 

Amazon was where I bought the Face shop masks first. The face shop launched in amazon first and later went mainstream with Nykaa. Don’t know why!

But the Mango seed range is available in amazon only and not in Nykaa. Recently other brands like It’s Skin, Swanicoco and Mirabelle were launched.

You can also search for other products from brands like mizon or missha for example. They are there but I can’t say how authentic they could be.
