However, should you still wish to order from our store and you live outside the EU, please contact us and we can accommodate you. Please be advised that any customs or tax that need to be paid in the country of destination will be shouldered by the buyer.

For deliveries in Malta, the EU and the UK, except for those destinations which are identified to be remote areas, your package will arrive at your door with no additional duties and taxes. All prices include sales taxes at checkout.

To date, there are no customs and duties being levied on all orders delivered within the EU. However, please note that depending on your country’s customs policies, some countries of destination outside of Malta may impose import duties and taxes when the delivery reaches that destination. (We have no control over these policies and charges and unfortunately cannot specify the amount.) Our shipping fee does not cover such import duties and taxes, if any, so if you are unsure, we advise to check with your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

Note: Due to the ongoing finalisation of Brexit, there might be taxes levied in the orders to the UK coming from the EU, so please check this out for further developments if you are from the UK.

Korean products are traditionally labeled with a manufacturing date instead of an expiry date. Normally, unopened/sealed products have a shelf life of 2-3 years. Once opened, products are usually good for use for up to a year.

As K-beauty expands further into the Western market (like Europe), some brands have begun printing the expiration date instead of manufacturing date. Please check the characters in front of or after the printed dates on the product to be sure:

제조 means "manufactured on"

까지 means "good until"

However, most of the products in our store indicate the expiration date in their packaging. To learn more about product viability and how to check the packaging, read our article here.

Don't be alarmed if you receive a product stamped with a date prior to your actual purchase date.

For any other questions or concerns, drop us a line at hello@peachesandcremeshop.com.

We put on sale products that are near their expiry dates to help reduce waste contributed by the beauty industry.

Products included under "last chance to buy" have near expiry dates from date of publish. These products have their expiry dates 6months from the date of publish on our website.

☝️ Please be mindful of the expiry dates which are indicated in the product description.

Why do we put these items on sale? The beauty industry is one of the contributors of waste, and you might be surprised, but packaging, as what almost everybody thinks, is not the main source. One of the main sources is the expired skincare products. 

Our contribution to reduce waste: put near-to-expiry date items on sale so the items can be used by our customers, therefore, helping reduce the waste coming from expired products. 

The ingredients list is included the product page and we do our best to have an up-to-date ingredients list on each product in our store. However, ingredients are subject to change at manufacturer's discretion. For the most complete and up-to-date list of ingredients, please consult the product packaging  or contact us at hello@peachesandcremeshop.com or drop us a message in any of our contact channels and request for a photo of the product packaging.

Absolutely! We take pride in offering you only the highest quality Korean beauty products. This value is at the heart of our company.

Every single product you see on Peaches&Créme has gone through the EU Parliament’s approval process for distribution in the EU, which establishes the rules to be complied with by any cosmetic product made available on the EU market. These rules ensure the functioning of the internal market, as well as a high level of protection of human health. As proof of compliance, the EU Responsible Person is indicated on the packaging of each product we ship out; this person is responsible for registering the product and ensuring that each is assigned its CPNP number.

Rest assured that whenever you purchase from Peaches&Créme, you are always getting 100% tested, safe, and genuine products supplied by their original Korean brands distributed through legitimate and safe channels.

All about skincare

The 10-step is more than a routine - it’s a lifestyle that has become a global phenomenon, grounded in Korea’s cultural obsession with healthy skin and backed by decades of scientific achievement. It’s not having more products than you can count, but about having the right products that do the right things, and using them in the right order.

It’s the secret to getting the most amazing skin of your life. The 10-step Korean Skin Care Routine is the skin care regimen that includes thoroughly cleansing, exfoliating, treating, intensely hydrating, and applying SPF during the day. This regimen was inspired by women in Korea who are experts in taking care of their skin from an early age.

Read our complete guide to the 10-Step K-beauty Routine here.

No, following all 10-steps is optional and only you know what’s best for your skin. You don’t have to use all Korean products, either. If you’re just starting, it’s a good idea to start with the most essential products and gradually incorporate additional steps to your routine. Read more here.

The first thing to know is that every person’s skin is unique. Skin care (Korean or not) is very personal and all about finding out what works best for you. It’s a continuous process of discovery, and there really isn’t a foolproof way to get it right the first time. Your skin type can also change over time and can be influenced by genetics and external factors, so your skin care needs will also change over time.

Determining your skin type is probably the most important step in any skincare routine because it helps set you up for success. Once you know what type you are, you can choose all the products to help your skin be the best it can be.

Read our guide to identifying your skin type here.

We know sometimes this can be a tricky thing to figure out, particularly when skin can change over time, or even across seasons! Read our guide to identifying your skin type here.

Your skin could be going through a period of ‘purging’, an adjustment period your skin goes through when you’re using a new product when your skin gets worse before it gets better. This is different from a reaction, when your skin is straight-up irritated or allergic to something in the product (which no amount of time can change).

Skin care is all about trial and error. The only sure way to find out what is right for your skin is simply to try them out one by one. Whenever introducing new products into your current skincare routine, try only one or two new products at a time and gradually incorporate them into your skin care routine so you'll know the exact effects of the new product, and you help your skin adjust to it.

But if irritation continues, you might be allergic to one or more of the ingredients, in which case you should stop using the product!

Alcohol is found in many cosmetic products. It has a variety of purposes in cosmetics: It acts as an anti-foaming agent, astringent, antimicrobial agent, and a solvent. It also helps deliver the active ingredients of a product and make products absorb and dry faster on the skin. It is not a harmful ingredient to the skin. It's even particularly beneficial for those with oily and/or acne-prone skin type.
While you should avoid putting on products that have alcohol in the first 5 ingredients in its list, in small amounts they can help create a smooth matte finish that can absorb skin-loving ingredients better.

Other alcohols you might encounter are cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and lauryl alcohol are derived from fats which are processed to develop a waxy texture. They’re typically used as emulsifiers and stabilizers for texture and moisturization than anything else. They are not harmful and can be particularly good fits for dry skin types.

A good rule of thumb is to apply treatment products (essence, serum, ampoules, etc) in order of their viscosity: lightweight, more fluid products go on first, working your way up to thicker products. Make sure each step is fully absorbed by your skin first before layering. Read about our layering guide here.

No. We do not sell any products with bleaching or whitening ingredients. Products with names or descriptions that include the word “whitening” simply mean 'brightening,’ and they help even out your skin tone and brighten your overall complexion. Your skin will not literally turn 'white'.

The general consensus is that topical skin care products that are not prescribed by a doctor are completely safe to use during pregnancy and while nursing.

Having said that, we always recommend speaking with your doctor and taking any precautionary measures you see fit throughout your pregnancy so you can rest assured that you’re using only the right products for your precious little one.

Yes, it’s completely normal! In fact, turning yellow is Vitamin C's natural process of oxidization. All Vitamin C products will gradually oxide and turn yellow over time. This means the effectiveness of Vitamin C products diminishes over time, but it is not harmful to continue using on your skin in any way. We recommend keeping Vitamin C products (and other products containing actives) out of sunlight and direct heat so you can keep them fresh as long as possible.

You might want to keep the Vitamin C serum in the vegetable drawer in your fridge so you can enjoy a cool Vitamin C serum when applying it in your routine, too.

Of course! It is only a matter of finding the right products for sensitive skin type. You need to be patient in undergoing trial and error when looking for tolerable skincare products and thoughtful of the ingredients in each product before using any. Make sure to spot/patch test any new products, use a mild, gentle cleanser and alcohol free toner, use a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free moisturizer that contains ceramides and a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, avoiding harsh acids, fragrances, dyes, sulfates, parabens, and other common allergens, and look for all-natural products with calming ingredients.

All about sustainability

Picking the most eco-friendly packaging option, even glass, isn't always easy for skincare brands since there a lot of options that aren't compatible with formulas. Some products, like sunscreens, cannot be packaged in glass to protect it from UVA/UVB damage. But there are always smarter options out there, which is why the brands we carry in our shop are continuously striving to find the most sustainable packaging that reduces environmental footprint, and they always ensure that their products stay easy to use and uncomplicated so they can best serve its consumers and the planet.

We at Peaches&Crème, as an online store, are doing our utmost to do our part as entrepreneurs, to serve and protect our planet, by having all our packaging materials totally recyclable (even our packing peanuts are biodegradable!).

As our way of giving back to and protecting our planet, we use EcoCart to ensure ALL shipments from our store are carbon-neutral, and make e-commerce less harmful to the environment.

Carbon offsets are a practical and effective way to reduce the effects of climate change by funding renewable energy, forestry, or clean water projects. These projects reduce emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere, like the emissions created from ordering something online. EcoCart calculates the emissions created from your online orders and donates the exact dollar amount required to reduce those emissions directly to these projects on your behalf.

When we say orders will be “carbon neutral,” that means that we will eliminate, capture, or otherwise mitigate all of the carbon emissions created from shipping our online orders. “Net zero” is another term you might hear and it’s simply another way of describing what happens with carbon offsetting.

EcoCart calculates the carbon emissions of each order using their proprietary algorithm that uses the unique characteristics of each order, including product type, shipping distance, and item weight to estimate the shipping emissions created by that order.

Consequently, Peaches&Crème K-Beauty and Skincare buys an offset and the proceeds are used to fund the project(s) of our choice that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions like protecting forests or building wind farms. Carbon offsets let us pay to reduce the global GHG total instead of making radical or impossible reductions of our own.

The best way to slow climate change is to not release carbon emissions in the first place. There are many ways to reduce carbon footprint, but in today’s world, it’s impossible to eliminate carbon footprint completely. For reducing unavoidable climate impact, high-quality carbon offsets are the most credible and impactful tool to reduce emissions and fight climate change.

Not all carbon offset projects are created equal. EcoCart’s projects go through rigorous carbon offset laboratory and field testing. EcoCart only funds projects that are carefully vetted, ethically proven, and scientifically verified according to the world’s major carbon standards. Their projects are also third-party verified with site visits by our trusted partners to ensure successful calculation of greenhouse gas reductions and management of funds.

From a diverse selection of projects, Peaches&Crème K-Beauty and Skincare chose to protect the Amazon Rainforests.

As part of our sustainability effort and saving waste contributed by the beauty industry, we put on sale products that have near-expiry dates (ie within 6 months or less from their expiry dates) and those items with damaged packaging.

Why do we put these items on sale? The beauty industry is one of the contributors of waste, and you might be surprised, but packaging, as what almost everybody thinks, is not the main source. One of the main sources is the expired skincare products. 

Additionally, although damaged packaging does not affect the efficacy of the product itself, we understand that this is still part of what the consumer is paying for. Because the products themselves are still good for use, 100% untouched, unopened and in perfect condition for use, we want these to be used and not be left on the shelf, therefore, avoiding waste.

Why do we put these items on sale? The beauty industry is one of the contributors of waste, and you might be surprised, but packaging, as what almost everybody thinks, is not the main source. One of the main sources is the expired skincare products. 

Products included under "last chance to buy" have near expiry dates from date of publish, and their expiry dates indicated in the product page, so make sure you read the product page and check the expiry date of the item before ordering.

If you have any questions regarding sale items before ordering, please contact us at hello@peachesandcremeshop.com, or via online store chat or through our social media IG & Facebook.
