CYoung's K-Beauty Holy Grails: Amore Pacific Sale on Labo H, Hera, Illiyoon & More

•13 min read•By CYoung

My brutally honest review of Amore Pacific's best K-beauty products for hair, body, and inner glow, now on sale! Featuring Labo H, Illiyoon, Hera, and more.

Alright, my loves, CYoung is back, and I'm not holding anything back. You know I'm all about cutting through the BS and giving you the real deal, especially when it comes to K-beauty. Today, we're talking about something huge: my entire K-beauty routine, the stuff I actually use and swear by, is finally on sale. We're talking Amore Pacific, the powerhouse behind some of Korea's most beloved brands like Labo H, Hera, and Illiyoon.

For the past few years, my body has been through a lot. Three IVF cycles, a 10-month pregnancy, and now five months postpartum. My biggest concerns? Body care to prevent stretch marks (and keep my skin from feeling like sandpaper) and, let's be real, hair care to stop me from going bald like my programmer husband. I went all-in on self-care, no shortcuts, and today I'm only sharing the products that truly saved me.

This isn't just any sale. This is an exclusive CYoung x Amore Pacific market, packed with deals, insane samples, and benefits you simply cannot get anywhere else. You might find some of these on Amazon or Olive Young, but this is straight from the source, with my special discount.

Here's the lowdown:

  • PROMO CODE: CYOUNG for an extra 17% OFF. Yes, it stacks with site discounts! We're talking up to ~47% off on some sets.
  • US SUBSCRIBERS ONLY: For one week, Amore Pacific is covering 100% of customs and duties. This is HUGE. They pay it, you don't.
  • CYoung Set Purchase Gifts: Spend $100, $120, or $300 on CYoung sets and get special gifts that are STACKABLE. Spend $300, get all the gifts!
  • Membership Perks: If you're a CYoung channel member, you get even more exclusive discounts on top of everything else.

These sets will sell out, especially with the US duty-free shipping. Hair and body care are everyday essentials, so when prices drop like this, it's time to stock up. Don't miss out, guys!

Scalp & Hair Care: Your Hair's Foundation

Let's get real about hair. Your scalp is skin, just like your face. Why are we obsessing over 15-step scalp facials on TikTok that Koreans don't even do? The real secret is consistent, professional-grade daily care at home. It's faster, cheaper, and way more effective.

1. Labo H – Daily Scalp Care: Korea's #1 Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo

👉 What it is: Labo H is Korea's top-selling shampoo, and for good reason. It's designed to treat your scalp like skincare, focusing on anti-hair loss and maintaining a healthy scalp environment. 👉 My honest take: When you think "hair loss shampoo," you often imagine stiff, dry hair. Not with Labo H. It has a refreshing, cooling effect on the scalp, which feels amazing, especially after a long day. While it won't magically make your hair grow inches overnight, it does help prevent further loss by keeping your scalp moisturized and in optimal condition. It's also incredibly affordable compared to luxury salon brands like Kerastase. 👉 Pro Tip: I highly recommend using the Labo H hair treatment alongside the shampoo. While the shampoo is great for the scalp, the treatment ensures your hair strands stay soft and manageable. You can even use the treatment directly on your scalp! This is a fantastic gift for the men in your life, too.

2. Ayunche – Salon-Level Hair Therapy: The Premium Upgrade

👉 What it is: Think of Ayunche as the premium, salon-exclusive version of Amore Pacific's hair care. It's the kind of product hair designers use and recommend. 👉 My honest take: Amore Pacific actually sent me Ayunche products to my postpartum center, and let me tell you, it made a huge difference. During that time, you're exhausted, you just want to lie down, eat, sleep, and maybe shower. The quality of this shampoo and treatment was undeniable. Even my husband, a programmer who usually notices nothing beyond math, could feel the difference when I switched him to Ayunche. 👉 Verdict: If your budget allows for a splurge, Ayunche is absolutely worth it. It's a true premium experience that delivers noticeable results. I'm even planning to use Ayunche lines for my baby as she grows.

Body Care: From Pregnancy to Baby, My Skin's Best Friend

Our body skin deserves just as much attention as our face. Especially during pregnancy and postpartum, keeping my skin hydrated and protected was non-negotiable.

3. Illiyoon – Moisture Barrier Body Care: The Family Holy Grail

👉 What it is: Illiyoon is a cult-favorite K-beauty brand known for its gentle, effective barrier care. Last year, they reformulated their products (now 3rd generation), making them even better. 👉 My honest take: I used Illiyoon all over my body right up until the day before delivery, and it's now the most-used barrier care for my 5-month-old baby. The reformulation made the texture lighter but somehow even more hydrating. It's unscented, which is crucial for me when using products on my baby – I don't want any strong fragrances near her delicate skin. 👉 Why it's a must-have: In Korea, Illiyoon lotion is the #1 best-selling body care. Globally, their cream is #1. I personally prefer the lotion for its lighter feel, but the cream is a much thicker, balm-like texture for intense dryness. The sets include both lotion and cream options, so you can find what works best for you. 👉 Bonus: Yes, you can absolutely use Illiyoon on your face! I often use it as a skin prep before makeup. And for all my pregnant ladies out there, this is completely safe and highly recommended.

4. Illiyoon – Ultra Repair Lotion: The Ultimate Dry Skin Savior

👉 What it is: This is a super-charged version of Illiyoon's body care, specifically formulated for extremely dry skin. 👉 My honest take: This was one of my absolute holy grails during pregnancy. I tried so many "stretch mark creams" that were just marketing fluff, but the Ultra Repair Lotion was on another level. I went through two bottles, applying it constantly, and I didn't get a single stretch mark. 👉 Word of caution: I'll be brutally honest – if you live in a tropical climate or don't have extremely dry skin, this lotion can feel super heavy and sticky. I agree. But for those with truly parched skin, especially in winter, it's a game-changer. It's incredibly long-lasting; I could still feel it moisturizing my skin hours later. If you're the driest person in the room, if nothing else works, try the Repair Lotion. I guarantee it.

Makeup & Inner Beauty: Effortless Glow from Within

Sometimes, you just want that soft, romantic glow without a full face of heavy makeup. And true beauty starts from the inside.

5. HERA – Romantic Glow Makeup: Effortless Radiance

👉 What it is: This set features Hera's new liquid blush paired with my holy grail Hera gloss. It's all about achieving an effortless, youthful glow. 👉 My honest take: I know foundation shades can be tricky, especially with Korean brands that have limited options. So, I focused on universal shades that enhance your natural beauty. The liquid blush gives a soft, romantic flush, and the gloss adds a beautiful, non-sticky shine. 👉 Shade Picks:

  • Warm Tones: Go for "Langer" on lips and "Dolly Peach" on cheeks.
  • Cool Tones: Try "Brownie Boy" lips with "Rosy Cheeks."
  • Deep Skin Tones: "Cherry Balm" on cheeks is a must, or layer it inside your lips for a pop of color.
  • Universal Red: "Fet Berry" is the perfect red for everyone's lips. 👉 Special Touch: You can even get custom engraving (up to 5 English letters) on the Hera gloss, making it the perfect personalized gift!

6. Vital Beautie – Glow Duo: Your Daily Inner Care (Collagen + Retinol)

👉 What it is: This duo focuses on inner beauty, providing daily supplements for a glow that comes from within. It includes collagen and retinol. 👉 My honest take: As we get older, especially after our mid-20s, collagen production drops significantly. I've tried many collagen supplements, and the most important thing is that it shouldn't taste gross. Vital Beautie, Amore Pacific's supplement brand, makes their collagen palatable. The amount of collagen is also quite high compared to other Korean brands. 👉 Retinol Supplement: This one tastes like a yummy vitamin C drink. I take it after lunch as a refreshing pick-me-up. While I don't feel a dramatic overnight change, consistent intake of collagen and vitamin C (which retinol often pairs with) is a no-brainer for overall skin health. ⚠️ Important: Due to regulations, these food items (supplements) are not available in the EU.

Sweet Treats & Cozy Moments: Osulloc Tea & Chocolate

Sometimes, self-care is about indulging in a comforting moment.

7. Osulloc – Sweet Tea & Chocolate Gift: A Taste of Jeju

👉 What it is: Osulloc is Amore Pacific's premium green tea brand, with its roots deeply embedded in Jeju Island. This set offers a cozy Valentine's treat with delicious teas and chocolates. 👉 My honest take: I learned a fascinating backstory: Amore Pacific's founder, Mr. Suh, bought land on Jeju Island 50-60 years ago to cultivate Korea's own green tea, as we used to rely on Japanese or Chinese teas. Now, it's a beautiful tourist destination. 👉 My experience: Amore Pacific sent me this tea set at my postpartum center, and I was so touched. The teas are incredibly tasty, and they even have decaf herbal options. Their tea food, especially the chocolates made with Jeju green tea, are amazing. It's Valentine's season, so it's the perfect excuse to try some new, delicious chocolates! ⚠️ Important: Due to regulations, these food items (tea and chocolate) are not available in the EU.
