K-SAVE케이세이브

Pre-launch issue Nº 001Korean skincare, priced honestly

Sticker prices lie.

The number that matters is the one that leaves your card: price plus shipping plus tariff. K-Save compares that delivered total across five Korean-skincare stores (진짜 가격, the real price) and sends you to whichever store actually wins.

5 STORES 1 TRUE PRICE ESSENCE Nº 96 100 ml · KOREA ILLUSTRATION STICKER $13.60 DELIVERED $23.63 진짜 가격 → the real price
Worked example, not a live quote: $13.60 item + $7.99 shipping + $2.04 tariff (15%) = $23.63 delivered to the US. Bottle is an illustration.

Neither sticker was the bill.

Korean skincare ships from Korea or Hong Kong, and since the US ended its duty-free exemption, every parcel pays a tariff. Every store still draws the line differently: free-shipping thresholds, flat rates, how the duty lands on your bill. K-Save does this arithmetic for every product, every store, every day. Here it is for the same bottle, twice:

Store AShips from HK
Item — the sticker you saw$13.60
Shipping (under the $49 bar)$7.99
Tariff, 15%$2.04
Delivered$23.63

A $13.60 sticker became a $23.63 bill. The other $10.03 sat below the line.

TRUE PRICE WINNER
Store BShips from KR
Item — the lower sticker$9.99
Shipping (flat, under the $60 bar)$5.00
Tariff, 15%$1.50
Delivered $16.49

Same bottle, $7.14 less delivered: 30% off the other store's real bill. Even this sticker hid $6.50 of shipping and duty.

The shipping-and-tariff rulebook K-Save maintains per store, US-normalized. Rules change; the app re-checks daily.


Three taps between you and the real price.

Search any product

Type a brand or a bottle. The catalog covers the products people actually buy.

Read one receipt per store

Item + shipping + tariff = delivered. Five stores, same anatomy, best total crowned.

Buy from the store itself

One tap out to the winning store. You pay them directly; K-Save never touches checkout.


Don't know what to buy? Sixty seconds.

A short skin quiz (type, concerns, sensitivity) builds a five-step routine from the catalog, each step chosen for how it's positioned for your skin, each priced at its best delivered total. An optional selfie refines the read.

The selfie is analyzed in seconds. Never stored.

It's read once for tone, undertone and visible concerns, then discarded: never stored on our servers, never used to build a profile of your face. Skip it and the quiz alone builds the routine.

  1. Cleanserpicked for your skin type, best delivered price
  2. Tonermatched to your concerns, cheapest real total
  3. Serumthe treatment step, targeted and priced
  4. Moisturizerbarrier first, wallet second; both win
  5. Sunscreenevery routine ends with SPF, at the true price

For our retail partners.

What K-Save is

A comparison engine: a mobile app (iOS & Android) that computes the delivered cost of Korean skincare across five stores and routes ready-to-buy shoppers to the store that wins.

How traffic flows

Every product page ends in a click-out to the retailer's own site, affiliate-tracked where a program exists. The retailer owns checkout, payment and fulfilment; K-Save never resells or intermediates.

Where prices come from

Network product datafeeds, refreshed daily, normalized to USD, with the shipping-and-tariff rulebook applied per store. Stale feeds are flagged, never silently shown.

Who's on the other end

US-based K-beauty buyers: price-sensitive enthusiasts and quiz-led newcomers arriving at the exact moment they've decided what to buy.
