Japan Beauty

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about ordering, payment, delivery, and products.

Are your products authentic?

Yes. We sell only original products by Japanese brands (DHC, Biore, Asahi, Orihiro, and others), purchased directly in Japan from official suppliers. We do not deal in replicas or goods of unknown origin.

How do I place an order?

Add products to your cart, proceed to checkout, enter your contact details, choose a Nova Poshta branch or parcel locker, and select a payment method. You will receive an order confirmation by email.

You can order as a guest, but with an account you also get order history, a wishlist, and the loyalty program.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Online card payment (Visa/Mastercard) via LiqPay or Monobank, and cash on delivery at a Nova Poshta branch.

Cash-on-delivery orders require a 200 UAH online prepayment that confirms the order; the balance is paid on receipt. The Nova Poshta cash-on-delivery fee is paid by the recipient at carrier rates.

More about payment and delivery

How much does delivery cost and how long does it take?

We ship via Nova Poshta across Ukraine - to a branch or a parcel locker. Delivery is charged at Nova Poshta rates and paid by the recipient on delivery; orders from 4000 UAH with full online prepayment ship for free. Orders are dispatched within 1-2 business days after confirmation; Nova Poshta delivery usually takes 1-3 days.

Can I return or exchange a product?

Yes, within 14 days of receipt, provided the product is unused and the factory packaging is intact. Please note: opened cosmetics of proper quality cannot be returned (Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 172). If the item is damaged or was sent in error, we will exchange it or refund you including shipping costs.

Returns and exchange policy

Where is the expiry date on Japanese cosmetics?

Under Japanese law, a manufacturer may omit the expiry date from the packaging if the shelf life exceeds 3 years from the production date when stored unopened. That is why many Japanese products carry no familiar printed date.

When an expiry date is printed, it usually follows the "year/month" format (for example, 2027.04) and may appear on the bottom of the package or the seam of a tube. After opening, cosmetics are best used within 6-12 months.

We check the shelf life of every batch on arrival. If you want to know the expiry date of a specific product before buying, email us at info@japan-beauty.com.ua and we will check your batch.

How does the loyalty program work?

You earn points on purchases. 1 point = 1 UAH discount: points can cover part of your next order at checkout. Your balance and history are available in your account.

I cannot find the product I need. Can you source it for me?

Yes, we take custom orders for Japanese-brand products that are not in the catalog. Contact us - we will check availability with our suppliers and quote the price and timing.
