My best skin ever was the result of these 10 steps Korean skincare routines Costco once sold. (It’s better to believe that if the store has ever been around, I’d buy a lifetime supply. Just say, Costco buyers read this post.) I’d also never forget to visit an olive Young store in Seoul, wandering the aisle, definitely surfaced on the aisle, which are a few steps to the skin care routine. I walked out of the store with bee propolis with snail mucins, sheet masks and serum and all kinds of potions, which looked great on my bathroom counter and worked better on my skin. In my opinion, Korean skincare products are the best in the world.
Pinkseoul boxes are full of products like this. Each subscriber receives a welcome box as their first box is filled with skin care basics. Mine comes with ceramide and aloe mask, reusable grocery bags, eye cream, cleaning foam, gloss serum, toner and moisturizer. This is basically the entire skin care routine in a small box.
When you first sign up, you will take some quizzes and talk about your skin and your attention. Once the welcome box arrives, you will get a custom box based on the quiz answer. Available in three sizes: Pinkseoul Mini Box ($30/box) is suitable for all ages and includes two full-size products and five masked products. Standard Pinkseoul Box ($40/box) is recommended for ages under 35 years old, and Pinkseoul Plus ($50/box) is recommended for ages 35 and older. The latter two boxes include at least four full-size K-Beauty products, two masks and one accessory. Pinkseoul ships every two months.
Finding the right skin care routine for you can be tricky, and if you don’t have a bunch of friends and family willing to take the product away, this box can be oversized. Since everything is full size, you will quickly set up the back dial. But if you’re a skin care fan who loves to try new ingredients, or you’re still trying the perfect solution for nailing your skin, this box is worth a try. I also admire the brand’s paid forward program, which sends skin care boxes to women fighting cancer.
Planning and pricing: Depending on the tier you choose, the Pinkseoul costs $30, $40, or $50 per box. Each box contains a mix of full-size items, accessories and masks (again, depending on the layer you choose). Shipping is free.
