### 3/5 — Great to buy products, but it’s not the same.

*2026-08-01, version 2.1.0*

I really enjoyed going on this app to purchase my skincare and healthy diet foods but after they changed it so this app is only for the US, I’m really disappointed. I liked going on here because there were lots of great deals, along with the discounts, and collabs. It would be great if you guys could bring that back honestly.

### 2/5 — No thanks

*2026-07-30, version 2.1.0*

I am upset I can’t access the Korean store anymore. I will not be shopping here anymore.

### 1/5 — Us version is horrible

*2026-07-28, version 2.1.0*

I can’t get almost anything anymore. Everything is gone they totally ruined it for all American shoppers. I’m so sad now I have to get my stuff off Yesstyle.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-26*

I’ve been using Olive Young for around 4 years wayyyy before they got a USA branch and I’m just disappointed in how little variety the USA branch has, a lot of my staple items just aren’t available anymore and I’m at a loss on what to do. It makes no sense why the USA branch would have completely different products. The reason I use Olive Young is for KOREAN products that are mainly just in Korea. All of the products tailored to the USA branch are so mainstream that I can easily get them at my local Ulta, Sephora or just purchase on TikTok shop. Olive young has completely lost their novelty. Such a shame 😔

**Developer response:** We are working to introduce more brands and products on an ongoing basis, which will be announced on our website and social media. Thank you for your continued support.

### 1/5 — The US Changebis terrible

*2026-07-26, version 2.1.0*

What used to be a valuable resource for actually buying great products is now ruined. The products you used to be able to buy on the global site are no longer available and the costs are substantially higher. I can’t shop here anymore because nothing I bought is available or if it is the bottles are smaller and 2x the cost than the global site. Do better. Until then you won’t get my money.

### 1/5 — we dont want ur stinky usa formulated skincare

*2026-07-25, version 2.1.0*

give back global version to usa customers

### 1/5 — App used to be good, is now horrible

*2026-07-24, version 2.1.0*

Pre June of 2026, this app was the best place to get k-beauty.  It is now a shell of what it once was.  The product selection is extremely poor and much more expensive than it used to be.  Not to mention, the great deals they used to have are now almost non-existent and the membership tiers are much worse. The only remaining reason to purchase from them is if you need something urgently and cannot wait for shipping from another k-beauty retailer.

### 1/5 — Totally failed US launch.

*2026-07-20, version 2.1.0*

Nothings wrong with the app itself, no longer have items that I do repeat purchase. 
한국에서만 파는거 살려고 들어가는데 그런거 싹다 빼고 미국 다른 retailer에서도 파는거 올려놓고 팔면 누가 사나. 기존에 포인트 많이 쌓아놓은 다른 가게 가서 사지.

### 1/5 — Awful Selection

*2026-07-20, version 2.1.0*

The items that the US app has available are items that we can get in our local stores, nothing new. I suggest going back to a global online store with the original selections and original formulas! Why would I shop for an item I easily could get at a big box store. Also once I create an account my items in my cart disappear and I have to start again.

### 1/5 — olive young us SUCKS

*2026-07-19, version 2.1.0*

making a olive young us was probably the worst decision ever made. far less variety of items, no special sets or collabs, and you are no longer able to shop on the global site AT ALL. I could get a double set plus travel size for the price of the singular item on the us site. also the US site is of poor quality when compared to the global. i’m genuinely so upset because i love olive young and always ordered from here. but not anymore. BRING BACK OLIVE YOUNG GLOBAL FOR USA CUSTOMERS!!!!!

### 1/5 — You can only obtain Americanized products.

*2026-07-19, version 2.1.0*

Find another website to get non-Americanized products.

### 2/5 — US version sucks

*2026-07-19, version 2.1.0*

lost my entire cart/ wishlist when switching over to the US. No option to go back to global and not the sane products or rankings.

### 1/5 — The U.S store

*2026-07-17, version 2.1.0*

I’m honestly so frustrated that Olive Young Global no longer ships to the U.S. They force me to use the U.S. Olive Young store instead, but it barely has anything I want to buy.
The U.S. store doesn’t have the same great deals as the Global store, and what’s even more disappointing is that many of the product formulations have been changed and aren’t the same as the original Korean versions.
I really wish Olive Young had never separated the U.S. store from Olive Young Global. I just want access to the original products and the same deals everyone else gets.

### 1/5 — Bring back the global app

*2026-07-17, version 2.1.0*

I’m happy that olive young has branched out to the u.s. however, as someone that used the global app for a long time, it’s a depressing transition. I want all the perks and goods again. I don’t want to see overpriced products that i can go to a drugstore to buy here. I want the same collabs and products that’s being sold in korea! Please bring the global app or give the same exact things as what we had in the global app. why force us the transition when no one wanted this.

### 1/5 — Global to US transition sucks

*2026-07-14, version 2.1.0*

I loved this app and would buy often for the Korean brands, but now most of the products I love are gone. The formulations are different, I can’t buy refills for my existing bottles to reduce waste, the prices are way higher… the list goes on. I’m so disappointed, will not be buying from here anymore.

### 1/5 — ミスに対する補償

*2026-07-14*

注文した商品とは違うものが届いたため、再送を依頼したものの、ストアクレジット（次回以降の買い物で使用できるポイント）付与で対応とのこと。ストアクレジットでもいいが、同じ商品を購入するには足りないため、同じ商品を購入できる額のストアクレジットもしくは再送を再度依頼したものの少しストアクレジットが増えただけで、まだ足りず。日本語がうまく伝わっていないのか、こちら側が面倒くさくなって折れるのを待っているのか。ミスが起きた時の対応が悪いと感じました。

### 1/5 — Double the price of global

*2026-07-13, version 2.1.0*

Not worth it anymore when you have to pay double the price of global

### 1/5 — US Store SUCKS

*2026-07-13, version 2.1.0*

All of the products that I use to buy over and over again from the global store are all gone in the US store. the US store has not enough products and not enough brands. I'm from Korea and I currently live in the US. But because of the US store transition, I can't find my favorite foundation from VDL or BanilaCo and there just ISNT ENOUGH PRODUCTS. Unless US store brings ALL the products and brands available on global store, I think I'm gonna switch over to yesstyle or alternative website/app/platform. Worst transition ever and so unnecessary in buyer POV.

### 1/5 — the U.S. version sucks!!!

*2026-07-12, version 2.1.0*

the new U.S version has very limited selection and the products are all reformulated. idk why they thought this was a good idea. Lost another costumer

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-12, version 2.1.0*

Since the switch to the US app I can no longer get the items I was purchasing before. The selection now is terrible.

### 1/5 — Yea I won’t be shopping here anymore

*2026-08-15, version 2.2.2*

I am very disappointed that you decided to switch us to the US store and stopped letting us on the global store. There are little to no variety like the global offered. And most of these brands can already be bought here. I won’t be shopping again until you let us choose to continue shopping on Global Olive Young.

### 1/5 — Never using again

*2026-08-13, version 2.2.2*

Olive young global was the best in upset my point became nothing when my account changed to a us account. I will never shop at olive young again.

### 1/5 — Terrible american update

*2026-08-11, version 2.2.1*

Terrible update for U.S, I downloaded to buy from the global store, in the end, against my will, I was updated and transferred to the U.S, return the global !!!!!!

### 1/5 — Horrible U.S page

*2026-08-09, version 2.2.1*

I loved buying very often but with the new U.S only, it’s terrible, will no longer be using Olive Young. Little to no options and all I see is bad U.S items. I’d rather pay expensive shipping for the global market back.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-09, version 2.2.1*

I started with the global OY and loved it finally finding products that work for me and offering my actual shade range and now I can’t even get them to continue using them just disappointed.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-07, version 2.2.1*

I’ve been using Olive Young for around 4 years wayyyy before they got a USA branch and I’m just disappointed in how little variety the USA branch has, a lot of my staple items just aren’t available anymore and I’m at a loss on what to do.

Such a shame 😔

### 1/5 — Olive young please fix this!

*2026-08-02, version 2.1.0*

Im sorry but im really sad and disappointed with this whole change to the US. I’ve placed so many orders with OLIVE young before and this whole shift to the US just completely ruined everything. The deals and bundles I once loved are no longer available. The product I NEED aren’t even on the app anymore and all the points i had didn’t even transfer over once the switch happened. It’s sad to say but I will no longer be using this app I hope that maybe with time all this is fixed and maybe then we’ll all be able to purchase products again. :(

### 1/5 — Us version is fake

*2026-07-31, version 2.1.0*

The us version has not original items, the sunscreen and etc are the worst quality, be careful. I wish they would take back the Korean version of olive young with original items! It sucks

### 1/5 — Bring Back the Original Olive Young

*2026-07-28, version 2.1.0*

This used to be the best place to buy Korean skincare. Now the original products are missing, many have been replaced with different US versions, prices are much higher, and the amazing bundle deals are gone. The app has lost what made Olive Young special. Very disappointing. I won’t be shopping here anymore unless the original Korean selection returns.

### 1/5 — Does not work in Korea

*2026-07-28, version 2.1.0*

Unfortunately, this app does not work here in Korea, I think only the [US] app works in the US. Two examples one when you use it at the checkout counter here in Busan, it does not read the barcode. Second example when you do my color pallet test here in Busan, they can’t read the QR code either. Here in Korea you need 16 digit membership number. The US membership number is only 12 digits that might be the root cause.

### 5/5 — セール中&まとめ買いがお得すぎる

*2026-04-29*

初回クーポンやガチャイベントなど楽しいセール企画を結構な頻度で開催してくれるので、割引を駆使するとお安くなります。
特にまとめ買いする人は送料や割引幅の面でかなりお得になる！
他のサイトだと韓国コスメの新作が日本から買えるようになるまで時差があるけれど、オリグロは入荷も早くて嬉しい！！
日本未発売のコスメがひと足早く買えること、セール・イベント中の割引のお得さが1番のメリットだと思います！
韓国コスメよく買う人にはオリグロおすすめしたい。

### 5/5 — 気軽にショッピング

*2026-04-21*

韓コス買うなら絶対オススメ！
初回登録で結構な値引、アプリを入れるとさらにクーポン使えたり、イベント毎にたくさんの特典やクーポンがあるので、買う予定がなくても大満足の買い物をしてしまいます…。
　他のサイトや国内で買えないものも見つかったり、ブランド毎のキャンペーンも豊富で、気になる方はアプリを入れる価値ありです⭐︎
配送状況はたまにタイムラグがありますが、アプリで追跡でき、さほど購入しなくても送料無料になるので特に不満はないかなという感じです。

### 5/5 — アイテムが充実

*2026-04-14*

韓国コスメが好きで利用していますが、品揃えがとても豊富で見ているだけでも楽しいです。人気商品から新作まで幅広く取り扱っていて、トレンドをすぐチェックできるのが嬉しいポイントです。

また、アプリも使いやすく、カテゴリ分けや検索機能が分かりやすいので、欲しい商品をスムーズに見つけることができます。商品ページの情報も充実していて、購入の参考になります。

今後もさらにお得なキャンペーンやイベントが増えると嬉しいです。引き続き利用したいと思います。

### 5/5 — お得に買えます🎶

*2026-04-10*

韓国コスメが好きでよく利用させていただいてます！
取り扱い商品もコスメだけでなく、サプリやプロテイン、ちょっとしたスナックなどもあります💘

一定の金額以上の買う場合はクーポンを使えば他の通販よりも圧倒的に安く買えますし、韓国に実店舗もある有名なオリーブヤングの公式通販ということで安心して利用できます。

支払い方法も日本の通販と変わらず、一通り使えます◎
海外通販での支払いが不安な方はPayPalを通すのもアリだと思います。
配送期間は地域によりますが、繁忙期でなければ1週間前後を目安に届きます。（早い時は過去最速で4,5日で届きました！）

### 5/5 — クーポンとポイントでお得に買える

*2026-04-05*

元値は高めに設定されているものが多いですが、まとめ買いしてクーポンを使えばかなりお安く買えるのでいつもお世話になっています！
少しだけ買いたいときはポイントガチャのキャンペーンがある時に買うのがおすすめです。
オリヤン限定のおまけ付き商品も多くて嬉しいです。
他社の韓国コスメモールも利用していますが、なぜかまとめ買いのほうが高いショップなどもあり価格設定が複雑なので、オリヤンのほうが見やすく親切だと感じます。
これからも利用させていただきます(^^)

### 5/5 — 便利で最高！

*2026-03-25*

便利です！

### 5/5 — Amazing, idk why yall complaining

*2026-03-03, version 1.6.4*

Compared to stores like Yesstyle the shipping is great, and at nothing is overpriced like in the UK stores. My only complaint is that when you sre scrolling through products , and you click on one, and then you click the ‘back’ arrow to go back to scrolling, it refreshes the page so you have to scroll all the way down again. If that was fixed the app would be perfect

### 5/5 — 언어가 영어여서 불편함

*2026-03-01*

언어가 영어여서 찾으려는 제품이 안 나와서 불편해요

### 5/5 — 日本でオリーブヤングの買い物が出来るのが嬉しい！

*2026-01-16*

韓国のコスメ、サプリメント、食品など幅広い品揃えです。 
 オリーブヤング限定のお得なセットもあったりとお得に購入出来るので、よく利用しています。 
特にセール時は割引率が高くて、ポイントくじや購入時のギフトイベントなどボーナスイベントもよく開催されているので、トップページはこまめにチェックするのがオススメ！
日本語以外の商品のレビューも自動翻訳されていて、とてもわかりやすいです。

### 5/5 — 韓国コスメ好きにはめちゃおすすめ！！

*2026-01-12*

韓国コスメを買うならオリーブヤングのアプリがとても便利です。
商品数が多く、ランキングやレビューが参考になるので選びやすいです。
アプリも見やすく、初めてでも使いやすいと感じました。
セールやクーポンが多く、お得に購入できるのも嬉しいポイントです。
海外アプリですが日本への配送もスムーズで、正規品なので安心して利用できます。
韓国コスメ好きには欠かせないアプリだと思います。
