Ultimate Guide to Olive Young's Year-Round Sales Schedule
So, when is Olive Young's sale, you may ask? Find out here!
In recent years, Olive Young has emerged as a must-visit spot for tourists in Korea. Step into any Olive Young store near a popular tourist area, and you'll find it teeming with tourists, their baskets overflowing with Korean skincare and beauty products. It's not uncommon to see men on FaceTime with their partners, double-checking if they've picked the correct item, a sight that always amuses me as a local.
The love for Olive Young isn't limited to tourists; locals are equally as obsessed. However, we locals are in the know about Olive Young's sale schedule, so we believe buying anything at its full retail price feels like throwing money away. I'm here to pass on this insider knowledge and tell you when Olive Young holds their sales throughout the year, helping you get the most value out of your visit.

Seasonal Olive Young Recommendations
3-Day Special Deal
1st ~ 3rd of Each Month
During this time of the month, Olive Young's Pick products come with attached freebies and are further discounted, making them the most affordable they'll be. It's important to note that Olive Young's Pick products change monthly, so the product you're interested in might not be on the list anymore.
*Freebies may be in the form of sample size products or in the form of BOGO (Buy One Get One).
Olive Young Kit
1st of Every Month ~ Until Out of Stock
Olive Young offers a special perk for its members: spend a certain amount, and you'll receive an Olive Young Kit, which includes samples of that month's selected Olive Young's Pick products! These kits sell out quickly, and each store may have a varying stock level, so stay informed!
(Note: This promotion may be delayed or suspended if it coincides with another sale.)
Olive Day
25th ~ 27th of Each Month
Olive Day provides sales and samples and additional discounts for Olive Young members. Depending on your member tier, the discount varies. It's recommended that you join the Olive Young Membership Program before you head to check out! (The Global Olive Young membership is not valid in offline stores. However, the Big Bang Sale discounts are for everyone, including non-members, so it's still worth the visit!)
The Olive Young BIG SALE
a.k.a. Bigbang Sale
March, June, September, December
Usually the first week of the months above
These are the biggest sales that Olive Young have year-round. There will be larger discounts, more coupons (for members), sample kits (first come first serve), daily special deals, and more! Rumor has it that June and September feature the largest sales of the four months. So, if you're a K-beauty enthusiast, it's a smart move to time your trip to Korea to coincide with these BIG SALE events.
