  Pros

  I purchased items at a shopping center that the tour guide recommended during my trip to Australia. The products were similar to SK-II containers, and the salesperson explained that they were moisturizing, anti-aging, and so on. I bought them with a happy mindset during my trip. The good thing is that I learned the meaning of the warning about Korean people being cautious when traveling abroad, thanks to this experience on my first overseas trip.

  Cons

  I learned about the Australian travel shopping scam through a TV news report. So I checked related online communities and blogs as well. First, the 'special one-time event' they always have (like giving away placenta cream or something for free) is a common tactic. Also, the price difference between the local Australian selling price and what they charged travelers was huge. The website that showed the Korean selling price was likely their own site. Most of the bloggers also seemed to have been provided the products to write about. Furthermore, when I checked the Hwahae app, the products had a lot of harmful ingredients, even though they claimed the quality was good enough to justify the high price.

  Tip

  While the products may suit your skin, don't compromise your conscience. I also made the mistake of not researching properly, but this unpleasant experience ruined an otherwise good trip.
