Olive Young Awards 2023

[Update: The post on the Olive Young Awards 2024 is now online]

Olive Young, the largest health and beauty retailer in Korea, revealed the top bestselling products of 2023 in the latest instalment of the “Olive Young Awards“.

Olive Young Awards 2023 Ceremony

Every year at the end of November, the retailer holds the “Olive Young Awards”, an event that celebrates the top-selling products of the year. The results of 2023 are based on the analysis of over 150 million purchase records collected between July 2022 and June 2023.

Since they’re based on real purchase data, industry experts consider the “Olive Young Awards” especially important because they paint a realistic picture of the latest trends in Korean beauty.

Olive Young will hold an offline ceremony for the “Olive Young Awards 2023” at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul from the 13th to the 17th of December.
