FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Opening hours, how to get here, how the skin test works, language support, instant tax-free refunds and prescriptions — the questions we are asked most at this pharmacy near me, answered.
What are your opening hours?
Daily, 09:30 to 22:00, with no closing day. Weekends and public holidays keep the same hours, so if you are searching for a pharmacy near me late in the evening in Gangnam, we are still open.
How do I get there?
We are directly outside Exit 4 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station on the Suin-Bundang Line, at 832 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu. The 7 m glass facade and the signboard above it are visible as soon as you leave the exit. Galleria Department Store is about five minutes' walk away and Dosan Park about ten — useful landmarks if you are looking for a pharmacy near me in this part of Seoul.
How does the skin test work?
At the SKIN BAR a measuring device reads 13 points of your skin, moisture, oil and elasticity among them. The recommendation that follows weighs those numbers against the concern you came in with — measure, talk, then pick. It can get busy, so call 02-544-0999 ahead if you want to be sure of a slot.
Do you speak English?
Yes — our staff serve customers in English, Chinese and Japanese. Store signage and shelf cards are printed in all three alongside Korean, so a first-time visitor can find a product without asking.
Can I claim a tax refund?
Yes, we run an instant tax-free refund service. Bring your passport, and check with a member of staff before paying which items and thresholds apply.
Can you fill a prescription?
Yes — prescriptions are dispensed at the RX BAR. The same counter handles over-the-counter advice, and a pharmacist can talk you through ingredients, how to use a product, and what to reach for after a skin treatment.
What do you sell?
Five categories: cosmetics, over-the-counter medicine, inner beauty, wellness food and medical devices. The floor is divided into six shop-by-concern zones — trouble and acne, dark spots, wrinkles and firming, dryness and barrier, after-treatment recovery, and scalp and hair. Prices and stock change, so please ask in store.
Do I need an appointment?
No appointment is needed — walk in whenever we are open. The skin test can involve a wait at busy times, so a call to 02-544-0999 beforehand helps if you are working to a schedule.
