Hi everyone! My name is Ayu, and I'm planning a trip to Korea next month for some treatments. I'm really excited, but honestly, I'm a bit nervous about the recovery phase. I know I need to stock up on good aftercare products, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the choices.
I wanted to ask those of you who have been there—what products are worth bringing or buying while you're there? I've heard a lot of people recommend cooling masks and gels to soothe the skin, but I'm still confused about which ones are worth it and which ones are just gimmicks. Someone also suggested silicone scar sheets, but I don't know exactly when and how to use them.
Do you usually bring products from home or do you prefer buying them in Korea? I want to be well-prepared but also don't want to overspend. Anyone have any recommendations or experiences to share? Thank you in advance! 🙏

Ayui, I totally understand! I had the same problem. To be honest, I tried both buying locally and bringing from Japan, but it seems best to bring basic skincare products from Japan and then buy anything else you need locally. However, what works for one person may not work for another, so you won't know if it suits your skin until you actually try it. A doctor's instructions are the most important thing, so it might be safest to check directly with your doctor after the procedure!
Ayui, you're working so hard on your preparations! I have a question: when you buy skincare products locally, were you able to ask the staff at pharmacies or other stores for advice even if you don't understand Korean? I have similar anxieties, so I'm curious to know how you actually chose your products. 😊
