6:45AM 4/9 UPDATE: if you read this last night and ordered from Stylevana, I am so sorry to inform you that my guidance is already outdated!!! The post is updated now and you can cancel your Stylevana order and place a new one at Olive Young.

Lol I definitely panic bought Beauty of Joseon after reading this the other night and now I'm panic trying to cancel the order!

lol we are all in this together! I am so sorry for any confusion! However the “good news” is that even with the current tariffs, given the price of that spf, it’s still more affordable than pretty much anything worthwhile in the states! Once the de minimus exemption goes away that won’t be true, but for now it’s not the biggest loss if you’re getting a good stock of amazing sunscreen? :) that’s how I’m rationalizing haha

It didn't seem that much though initially... do they charge again once it's shipped?

Yes! Supposedly when it reaches customs in the US. Which by the time it gets here, things might be different all over again. Stylevana is usually really good about response times and canceling orders but I have heard they are a little overwhelmed by the volume of inquiries they’ve been getting over the past few days (honestly I feel so bad for them and their business!) so even if they can’t cancel before it ships I think it won’t be the absolute worst thing as long as it’s here before May 2

Ultra Violette sunscreens are the best! Future Screen is my current fave 👌

Two things: 1) they appear to be doing a big special on Beauty of Joseon on Olive Young and 2) I really wish I had bought the Lion Pair pimple spot cream before this whole tariff fiasco. Any chance on a rec from a Korean source?

The only one I can find right now is Dokodemo, which ships directly from stores in Japan and calculates shipping by weight. So it's a little confusing and unclear how much you will pay in shipping, but for the acne cream tube I can't imagine it'll be much? Here's some info about it, you can find other reviews on Reddit which might help you estimate the cost! Lmk if you wind up placing an order! I've used similar services in the past, but not for cosmetics.
