First trip to Olive Young in Seoul: which sheet mask should you try first?
On Dcard's makeup board in Taiwan, someone heading to Seoul the following week shared a long Olive Young shopping list, including several sheet masks that get recommended a lot online. With sensitive, dry skin, they worried that glowing online reviews might just be resellers' promotion, and wanted to hear from people who had actually used them. (They also asked whether strikes might affect tourism and which other areas were worth browsing.)
Close to forty comments. The key points:
-
The most-liked tip: on day one, buy single sheets of everything you are curious about, use one each day of the trip, then go back for full boxes of the ones you liked.
-
Torriden split opinions: some love the blue hydrating and green soothing lines, but quite a few felt nothing, found it too weak for dry skin, or even felt drier afterwards.
-
numbuzin's numbered masks: some said No. 5 brightened their skin while a sensitive-skinned person got redness from it; No. 3, aimed at pores, was flagged as a little stingy for sensitive skin; the very cooling No. 4 is popular after summer sun.
-
Many people repurchase Mediheal's centella, rose PDRN and hyaluronic masks; Abib came up repeatedly, and Biodance got a mention.
-
Most closed with the same line: masks are personal, so your own trial is the most reliable review.
Overall, sensitive and dry skin types leaned towards starting with single hydrating or soothing sheets.
Desk note: The American Academy of Dermatology suggests testing a new product on a small patch of skin on the inner arm or the bend of the elbow, twice a day for 7 to 10 days, and using it only if there is no redness, itching or swelling. On a short trip, buying single sheets, starting with one, and stopping at the first sting or flush is a simplified version of the same idea.
If you could recommend just one Olive Young sheet mask for sensitive skin, which would it be?
