K-Beauty has taken the world by storm—and for good reason. With its focus on gentle ingredients, hydration, multi-step skincare routines, and smart formulations, Korean beauty continues to be a global standard for effective, glowing skin. Whether you’re into glass skin, double cleansing, or BB cushions, K-Beauty delivers results—and it doesn’t have to break the bank.
But here in Singapore, many K-Beauty products come with a higher price tag due to import markups or limited selection in retail outlets. The good news? You can shop directly from Korea and enjoy authentic K-Beauty at its original, affordable prices, with the help of Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping service.
This guide will walk you through where to find budget-friendly K-Beauty products, and how to get them shipped straight to Singapore safely and affordably.
Why K-Beauty Is So Popular (and Still Worth the Hype)
✅ Gentle yet Effective Formulas
K-Beauty products are formulated with sensitive skin in mind, often avoiding harsh chemicals in favor of soothing botanicals.
✅ Innovation at Low Prices
From snail mucin to fermented ingredients, Korea leads the skincare innovation game—without luxury price tags.
✅ Minimalist Aesthetics
From Innisfree’s eco-friendly packaging to rom&nd’s chic lipstick tubes, Korean beauty products are as pretty on the shelf as they are on the skin.

Best Korean Sites to Shop K-Beauty (With Better Prices)
Most Korean beauty brands have official online stores or are available on trusted K-beauty platforms:
🛒 Olive Young (Korean Official Site)
- Korea’s #1 beauty and wellness drugstore
- Prices are significantly lower than the global site
- Access to full weekly promotions, coupon codes, and exclusive bundles

📌 Note: You’ll need to use Buy&Ship’s Korea address at checkout, and the site is fully in Korean—use Google Translate if needed.

- romand.co.kr

Why Not All Sites Ship to Singapore
Even if you find the best prices on Korean websites, you’ll face these common challenges:

- ❌ Payment only accepted via Korean credit cards or payment apps
- ❌ Korean-only checkout interface
- ❌ Requires a Korean delivery address
That’s where Buy&Ship comes in.
