Before you visit
How do I book the skin test?
Pick a slot in 30-minute increments on the official booking page — reachable from the "Book a skin test" button at the top and bottom of this page, or from the link in the @beautylab_pharmacy Instagram profile. Walk-ins are also welcome, subject to how busy the floor is.
Where exactly are you?
35-3 Myeongdong 10-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul — B1 and the entire ground floor (Chungmuro 2-ga, Samyeong Tower). It is about a 4-minute walk from Myeongdong Station on Line 4, and about 8 minutes from Euljiro 1-ga on Line 2, which puts this myeongdong pharmacy in the middle of the shopping district.
What are the opening hours?
09:00 to 23:30, Monday through Sunday, all year round. Opening at 9am and closing at 23:30 makes it an easy myeongdong pharmacy to fit either side of a day's plans.
Can I be served in English?
Yes. The shopfront board lists Korean, 中文, 日本語 and ENGLISH, and the skin-concern ingredient chart at the consultation desk is written in all four. The floor is run with travellers from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and English-speaking countries in mind.
Is tax refund available?
TAX REFUND is signposted on the shopfront, so staff can take you through the process right after you pay. Ask before paying to confirm the conditions that apply to your purchase.
Can I reorder after I leave Korea?
In-store signage reads "Global Shipping Available". For a reorder, send an Instagram DM or email mdbeautylab.pharmacy@gmail.com.
Can I buy medicine without a prescription?
This is a licensed korea pharmacy, so over-the-counter items such as digestive care and pain relief can be bought after a short consultation with the pharmacist. Prescription-only medicines still require a prescription.
Does the skin test cost anything?
Pricing and conditions can change, so no figure is published on this page. Check the booking page, or ask directly on +82-507-1309-3347 or by Instagram DM.
Skin playing up while you're in Myeongdong?
Walk-ins are fine, but booking the skin test means no waiting. This korea pharmacy is open 09:00–23:30, every single day.
