Frequently Asked Questions
COVID-19 Updates
Are you still operating normally?
ExpandYes, business is as usual here at Let’s Face It. Our small but mighty team are working from home and we are still despatching orders as usual (same day despatch for orders made before 1pm Monday-Friday, otherwise despatched within 24 hours). Orders are packed in-house with high hygiene standards and social distancing practiced.
All our orders are sent out via Australia Post. Whilst our order and despatch process remains the same, we have been advised by AusPost that there may possibly be some slight delays with delivery. This means your order may arrive a few days later than it usually would, including Express Post parcels. Rest assured, Australia Post are doing all they can to ensure your order is delivered safely and as quickly as possible to you.
You can find more information about potential delays and other impacts here: https://auspost.com.au/about-us/news-media/important-updates/coronavirus
For more information about our order process and delivery, please see our Shipping & Delivery Policy here.
Deliveries to VIC
ExpandIf you reside in VIC and have placed an order with us, we will continue to pack and despatch your order within 24 hours / same day despatch as per our order process below.
However please be advised that Australia Post is experiencing delays in delivery timeframes within and into VIC.
This is due to a large increase in parcel volumes, stage 4 lockdown in VIC and also ensuring the safety of employees and customers by complying with COVID safe restrictions. AusPost are working hard to deliver your parcel as soon as they can. Please understand that your parcel may arrive slightly later than usual.
Thank you for your ongoing support, especially in this difficult time. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers that you and your loved ones are staying safe xx

I want to purchase an item but it's out of stock. When will it be restocked?
ExpandDue to the current global COVID-19 situation, there are now less frequent freight routes between South Korea and Australia. This has caused some delays with our shipments and it may take just a little bit longer to have all your favourite Korean beauty products back in stock.
However, we are doing all that we can to replenish our stock levels as soon as possible for you 😊.
Will there be an increase in prices?
ExpandPlease kindly understand that due to an increase in international freight costs as well as an increase in supply prices, there may be a slight price adjustment to some our products.
We are trying our best to minimise adjusting any of our prices as much as possible, which is why we have only made an incremental increase to a small selection of our product range.
Is it safe to receive parcel deliveries during this time?
ExpandAustralia Post has made changes to their delivery and collection process to enable contactless delivery for the safety of their employees as well as the receiver.
To minimise the risk of contracting or spreading coronavirus, signature upon delivery is no longer required by the recipient, whether at home or collecting at the nearest Post Office.
If your parcel has been marked as signature required, the delivery driver will record your name and sign off on the delivery on your behalf if you are home. The parcel is then left at your door. If you are not at home, a notification card will be left with instructions on where to collect your parcel.
If you are picking up your parcel from a Post Office, staff will confirm your name and sign off the collection on your behalf, then leave the parcel on the counter for you to pick up.
For more information, please see FAQS section on Australia Post’s Coronavirus Updates page here.

Korean Skin Care Products
Are the products sold at Let’s Face It 100% authentic?
ExpandYes, we guarantee that all our products are 100% authentic. Our products are imported directly from the Korean skin care brands or authorised distributors in South Korea.
I need some help with choosing skin care products that best suit my skin / meet my skin concerns
ExpandAt Let’s Face It, we are not just a transactional store – we love customer interactions (hence why we had our pop up stores throughout 2017).
Although for now we are trading solely online, we love receiving feedback from customers, answering queries and helping people find suitable products for their needs. Our service extends to ensure customers receive the most benefit from the Korean skin care purchased at our store.
You can contact us by filling out the contact form or via:
Direct email: hello@letsfaceit.net.au – you will usually will receive a response within 24 hours.
Direct messaging on Facebook Messenger (link on home page) – this is the preferred method for immediate responses.
I’ve been using my new skin care product/s for a few days but I don’t see any changes in my skin. Why is it not working?
ExpandWe get it – Every time we try a new skin care product, we get excited to see differences in our skin too! However, this doesn’t always happen overnight. Skin care is a long term commitment so please allow some time for your new products to work.
The time it takes to see results from a product / skin care routine will vary depending on many factors (skin type, severity of a skin condition you want to improve, external environment etc). It can take anywhere from a few hours to up to 3, or even up to 6 months! Please also keep in mind that everyone’s skin is different and unique. Some products may work better for others than yourself and vice versa.
What are “Whitening” skin care products?
ExpandIn Asian beauty you’ll see many skin care products that are labelled as “whitening” products, but this doesn’t mean the products ‘bleach’ or ‘whiten’ the skin to a lighter skin tone. There are no toxic bleaching agents or ingredients in any of our Korean skin care products. Rather, the purpose of these whitening products is to brighten your skin. Brightening skin care products correct uneven skin tone, fade brown spots and/or pigmentation and liven up dull, tired skin. Some most commonly used ingredients for skin brightening are:
Vitamin C: A natural cleansing and exfoliating ingredient that also lightens dark spots / sun damage / pigmentation, fades acne scars and enhances skin elasticity and suppleness.
Niacinamide: aka Vitamin B3. This ingredient creates a moisture barrier to keep your skin hydrated, boosts collagen production, strengthens skin and prevents unwanted hyperpigmentation.
Licorice Root: A plant root with active ingredients that diminishes dark spots and blemishes, is anti-inflammatory and has anti-oxidant properties.
AHAs/BHAs: natural acids used as chemical exfoliants that repair damaged skin and promote skin cell rejuvenation, resulting in brighter and even toned skin.
I’m pregnant, can I still use these products?
ExpandWhilst the products available at our store contain natural and gentle ingredients, there are still certain ingredients that should be avoided when you are expecting a child even if they are usually safe. The main ingredients to avoid are salicylic acid, essential oils, retinoids, benzol peroxide and hydroquinone (the latter 2 are not in any of our products).
Glycolic acid, Vitamin C, Snail mucin and many other natural ingredients are still safe to use however we always advise to check with your doctor beforehand because your baby comes first!
What is the 10 Step Korean skin care routine?
ExpandThe 10 Step Korean Skin Care Routine is all about gently layering on skin care products that cleanse, treat and protect your skin. It’s essentially a daily routine that focuses on prevention (of ageing, acne and other concerns) as well as treating the root cause of your skin concerns.
The beauty of this routine is that you actually don’t need to do all 10 steps. It’s more important to learn about and listen to your skin, test what works for you and invest in your skin’s needs.
Find out more in our 10 Step Korean Skin Care Routine Guide.
A guide on expiration dates for Korean Beauty products
ExpandKorean skin care products have a shelf life of approximately 30-36 months and should be used within 12 months of opening. Skin care products include: Toners, Lotions, Creams, Essences, Eye creams, Sun Creams, Serums and Cleansers (Cleansing foam / gel / oil / balms / water).
Korean beauty sheet masks have a shelf life of 12 months and are to be used immediately after opening.
Products stocked at Let’s Face It that are not sold prior to their expiration date are disposed of for quality control. Some Korean Beauty products may only have a manufacturing date on it rather than an expiration date so do not be alarmed if you see a past 2017 date with “제조” next to it, this means manufacturing date.
If you are still unsure of the expiration date of your product, feel free to email us at hello@letsfaceit.net.au and we will provide you with further information.
