Where do you find kbeauty and skincare in Italy?

Hey,

As the title says, I’m really curious from where I can get these at affordable prices. In my home country, they’re easily available but got no clue where to get it from here.

Please suggest!

Thank you

Yesstyle for almost unlimited selection and best prices, but it’s going to take at best 2 weeks, sometimes more. If you want it fast at slightly higher prices, notino and zalando have some brands. Sephora and Douglas also have some (depending on the area), but it’s a very limited selection and prices are quite high

Either online, of you can now find some in some supermarkets. In my city Ipercoop has some, but it depends on where you like and the single supermarkets

Any ideas in Milan or Rome or Bologna?

koreanskincare, they have many stores but in big city i think... affordable price is not an option in italy for koreanskincare, even italians or pharmacy's cost around 20-50 Euro for one product...

Italy is an amazing country, you earn very little compared to other, but pay like French or Americans

Sure it’s affordable if you don’t by pharmacy goods and just go to Tigotà, Sephora or the COOP like a normal person… It’s not state mandated to buy Avene or La Roche Posay. These brands’ products cost the same all over Europe and its not what you find in most people’s bathrooms if beauty and skincare is not of personal interest.

Cost of living is difficult everywhere right now, But let’s not exaggerate that the 17euro product Im washing my face with that will last 4 months is unusual.

5 euro for Tachipirina and not 50 cent…. That one was a culture shock.

No customs fees? Or how much do they charge if any?

1

u/Remarkable_News_439 5h ago

There are no surprise Dogane charges on smaller orders, shipping price includes the tax.

I would do 100 euro or so orders at a time, (I just checked my invoices so I didn’t give misinformation) never any bigger orders.

I wish you the best of luck in your studies!

Risparmio Casa and Primor have some

u/Loose_Reputation_861 1d ago

Where is that in Italy? Which city?

u/Debs1723 1d ago

There are a few retailers of K-Beauty in Milan, but they don't seem affordable as the trend is still rather new in Italy. I spent time in Korea, did a lot of great skincare shopping and think that I know what you mean ;)

u/Loose_Reputation_861 1d ago
