What this myeongdong pharmacy offers
Medicines are dispensed after a short consultation with the pharmacist.
Eight things this myeongdong pharmacy does under one roof
A skin test and a pharmacist consult sit at the centre; derma skincare, medicine, inner beauty, tax refund and global shipping follow from them. The same korea pharmacy serves travellers passing through Myeongdong and the people who live here.
Skin Test & Analysis
A skin-measurement device reads moisture, pores and pigmentation, then we go through the on-screen result with you. Book a slot in 30-minute increments before you arrive at this myeongdong pharmacy.
One-on-One Pharmacist Consult
A pharmacist walks you through ingredients and routine order based on the result. The consultation desk carries a skin-concern ingredient chart written in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese.
Pharmacy-Only Derma Skincare
In-store signage marks a high-performance skincare line trusted by dermatology clinics and a "Pharmacist's TOP 10" display. What we recommend changes with your result, not with the shelf.
Medicine & Travel Essentials
This is a licensed pharmacy, so digestive care, pain relief and wound care for the road are available after a short consultation with the pharmacist.
Inner Beauty & Supplements
A dedicated Inner Beauty zone in store groups collagen and other supplement lines so they are easy to compare.
Four Languages Spoken
The shopfront board lists Korean, 中文, 日本語 and ENGLISH, and the floor is staffed with travellers from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and English-speaking countries in mind.
Tax Refund
TAX REFUND is signposted on the shopfront, so you can be walked through the refund process right after you shop.
Global Shipping
In-store signage reads "Global Shipping Available", so a reorder can follow you home after the trip.
Medicines are sold after a short consultation with the pharmacist. Tell us your symptoms and anything you are already taking, and the guidance gets more precise.
