If you’re a kbeauty fan who loves Leejiham skincare (my HG brand) you’re in luck: HKC Plaza, based in Singapore, has a massive sale right now on some of the best products! Props to /u/naming_is_hard on the Asian Beauty subreddit for posting the deal this morning!
I’m writing this post because I’ve reviewed many of the products now on sale and have shopped at HKC Plaza a number of times–hopefully you can find the info you need ASAP to make (or not make) a haul.
A few things to know about HKC Plaza:
- they’re a legit LJH e-tailer.
- they’re based in Singapore, one of the hotspots for kbeauty outside of Korea.
- I’ve shopped with HKC Plaza several times and was really happy with the prices and service.
- international shipping of all products is free.
- orders under $24 are shipped without tracking and I found that my under-$24 order placed around this time last year took quite some time to arrive (it may also have been the holiday post).
- orders $24 and over are shipped with tracking and I’ve found the registered shipping to be incredibly fast. It also prevents the delay of having HKC Plaza contact you and ask if you’re sure that you don’t want to add to your order to hit the $24 registered shipping minimum.
- orders are usually shipped in plastic envelopes with minimal padding; if you need pristine boxes this may not be the shop for you.
- orders are not listed in your order history immediately–you’ll receive a PayPal confirmation email immediately, but the order will be processed into the system and your account within a few days.
- I’m personally not worried about the products being on super sale–LJH likely just had someone cancel a massive order that they now need to sell off (long story).
- don’t get excited about the free gift/starter kit thing; according to reddit AB commenters it’s some foil samples.
- you can’t use both the 10% coupon code and the code for the free gift.
Coupon Code
Someone on my Instagram left a comment that code SB05000AID can be used on top of the sale prices for an additional 10% off your order.

I have no idea how long these prices will last. I grabbed another bottle of LJH Tea Tree Essence (having bought two very cheaply–but not this cheaply–just a few days ago from Tester Korea) and three boxes of hydrogel masks. I’m going to be swimming in my faves, woo!
And I’m thinking about going back in for more…hmm…
This is AMAZING. Just bought the essence and ampoule that I’ve been eyeing FOREVER but couldn’t spend the money on. Christmas has come early this year!! THANK YOU. I’m so excited!!
WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LJH PARTY TIME!
I just took the plunge and bought two bottles of the essence, wouldn’t have ever tried it otherwise! Thanks so much 🙂
I hope you love it!!!
the Vita Propolis Cream is not $24 🙁
Yeah, the price changed since I made this post, but I can’t change it at the moment bc I’m at work. 🙁
but I’m so glad for the LJH Tea Tree line!!!!
It is now even cheaper! I’d totally missed this post and am just checking what’s still on sale. Not much, but I am stocking up on the propolis ampoule, and am looking at the cream which is currently $14. 🙂
Wow! thank you I just order 2 (and a couple of other things)
I was hoping you would see it in time! 🙂
I broke my low buy, but it was for a great cause! I bought back-ups of the LJH Tea Tree Essence, the Tea Tree Cleansing Foam, LJH Vita Propolis Ampoule, the Tea Tree Mist, and some masks. Sorry Glow Recipe, I love you, but this deal was too good to pass up. Thanks, Fanserviced, for spreading the knowledge!
Hey! Thanks for letting us know about the sale! I bought one of everything, and several of many for presents (we’ll see if they arrive in time for Christmas). Woot woot.
I recently discovered your blog along with a couple other well known K-beauty bloggers and I am OBSESSED. You guys have enabled me so much. I’ve bought a bunch of Cosrx, the Sum37 rose cleansing stick literally everyone raves about, Mizon AHA peeling gel, OST vitamin C, etc… All these websites are having huge sales on skincare and then I saw this post and obviously HAD to order the LJH essence and ampoule. So now, I’ve spent all this money on skincare and I’m pretty much broke lol but hopefully my skin will repay me and look clearer than ever 🙂 I know, don’t use everything at once. It’s so hard but I’m keeping things in their boxes… so I literally have a drawer of stuff just waiting to get used but I’m so excited!!!!
AHh yay!!! That makes me so happy! Those are all awesome choices for most skin, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you love them!!!
I shopped my heart (wallet) out! they were so cheap! thanks a bunch 😀
I placed an order for a bunch of LJH tea tree stuff from HKCPlaza on Dec 2, and my bank account has been charged. I did not receive an email confirmation of the order, and the site says there is no record of an order (five days later). On their website, they say there is sometimes a lag of one day for the order to show up on their site. I am concerned about how much money I spent there and that I have not yet received any order confirmation. I’ve just contacted customer service, but I am wondering if anyone else is having problems with the site.
I have the exact same problem. I ordered on either 2nd or 3rd. Payment went through already as well. I’m worried that they haven’t seen our orders yet but then again its been so long.
I finally got an “Order Received” email this morning (8 days after ordering), so there is hope!
Hi JB. Same here. I ordered on Dec. 2nd and immediately got the PayPal confirmation email and the resulting charge in my bank account but still no confirmation of my order either on the HKC website and my email address. I also sent an inquiry via their contact page but still no word. You can’t even message them on their Facebook page for some reason.
Just got an “Order Received” email from them this morning (8 days after ordering), so there is hope!
Yay for you! I hope mine comes soon. 🙁 Today, Dec. 11, makes it officially 9 days since I ordered. And to think I only live in Asia too.
Hey! Do you know where HKCPlaza ships from? I got a tracking number but the shipping places I’m checking don’t have any results. Thanks so much… I’m sure you didn’t expect all this craziness when you posted about the sale… 😛
HI! Singapore. Yeah, I had problems figuring out how to track the package, but Aftership has bare-bones info. I suspect that it went into the USPS abyss once it reached the US, but I see that mine has entered the country at least.
I did and didn’t expect it! hahaaha I think that the service seems on par with what I experienced last year during their sale…except 10x slower. LOL I’m still waiting for one of my packages to ship, but I’m pretty zen since I’ve ordered from them a few times now.
Ah, okay, sounds good 🙂 Thanks for the quick reply!
Hahaha, yeah. I’m not worried… I just don’t want to forget about it and then wonder in three months where my package ever got to…
Hey Tracy, thanks so much for sharing this post 😀 I have a qn – I was notified long time ago my package was shipped and I received a tracking # in the hkc account page, but how do I use that to track my package? It doesn’t look like a USPS code or anything. Thanks!!
YAY! Try Aftership–it’s really difficult to get any kind of tracking anything with that number, but that’s the tracker I’ve found that at least gives some data. Some. Sometimes. 🙁
Ahhh! Thank you so much!! It says it’s in transit, so I’m just glad it’s not lost or missing.. for now 🙂 I guess the slowness is due to the holiday season!
