Nature Republic

I love their face masks. Customer service was okay, but not excellent. I would definitely come back again, just because their face masks are soo good and not pricy.

Had the nicest sales associate helping out today — Ian ! He gave us space to browse and checked up on us once in awhile to see if we needed help. I had an armful of products and he saw that so he offered me a basket.
I was first introduced to Nature Republic when my boyfriend went to Korea and brought me back the aloe vera gel. Fast forward to today, I randomly saw the brand at the Arcadia Mall so I ran in to oogle over their goods. They had an awesome sale on face masks — buy 10 get 10 free! Amazing !! Cute packaging as well.
I wish there was a Nature Republic in my area

Still nothing but the best service and fair priced products. I send so many friends and family members here now… It’s also gotten to the point where the employees now recognize myself and my boyfriend when we come in.
Do know that their best products do sell out extremely quickly! We came in a few times to get the green aqua cream, only to find it was sold out each time! That didn’t stop us from wanting to shop for other things.
Thanks Nature Republic!

I love their face masks and eye masks! Such a great deal and feels amazing after using it. The hand lotions smell fantastic. Love everything about this store! They also give you free face masks when you spend $ 50 or more. Plus free samples! I tried one of their argon oil shampoo and it feels so soft after washing. I come here quite often!

If you want to take care of your face without saying farewell to your bank account, this is the place for you. Nature Republic offers a variety of skin care and beauty products to satisfy your needs at affordable prices. They also offer samples with every purchase, so that you could try out everything. Personally I use their samples as light toiletries when I travel.
I’ve used their sun gel, face cream, toner, face masks, blackheads remover, lip plumper, and so much more. What I like about Nature Republic is that they have products that are meant for different skin types.
I recommend the snail products. I know it sounds strange and it is a bit pricier than the other products, but I used the snail face wash and emulsion over a four-​day vacation and my face was noticeably smoother and softer! They have two kinds of snail products: snail and snail solution (fancy bottles). The cheaper one (snail) only has 1−2% snail.
Some other products/​lines worth trying are the aqua line (I use the combination watery cream for about $ 17), the green tea body scrub for about $ 12, and the real nature ampoule for $ 10 (I use the olive one before bed instead of lotion, and it leaves my face glowing in the morning. It could also be used to remove eye makeup. Just don’t get it in your eyes!)
The workers here are always willing to help you out if you have any questions, or if you need suggestions based on your skin type or preferences. They really, really know their products. They always have sales too!

First time walking into the store seeing all the little cute plants made me feel so refreshed already. The layout of the store is super cute and organized! On my first purchase, I bought the Green Tea line that consist of the toner, moisturizer, and the cleanser. I have oily acne prone skin so KATHY, one of the staffs, recommended this line to me. It is inexpensive and affordable to me as a student. After I tried it out for weeks, I’ve noticed that my skin became smoother and less acne popped up which made me super happy! Something cheap and useful, BONUSSSS!!! After finding out how the products in this store has helped me with my skin, I began buying more products and I am still using it EVERYDAY! Really recommend this place with super friendly staff that help you out so much depending on your skin type and great products for your skin!!!

I wish they would open a store in Burbank!

I love this place! The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable about the products. They will spend time with you to figure out which skincare products work for you and what you are trying to achieve. Plus the products are very affordable in comparison to American brands. I’ve been using their products for several months now and have noticed that my face is more clear and I feel refreshed. The face masks are pretty popular and be sure to ask for recommendations since they all achieve different things. LOVE THE CHAMOMILE FOREST GARDEN CLEANSING OIL! It feels amazing and gets rid of the dirt. And the aqua combination cream is amazing too, the smell and lightness of it is soothing. Give it a try, you won’t regret it!

Super friendly and helpful staff!
This is my 4 – 5 time visiting the store and I like how the staffs give you your personal space but still being within a good distances (without stalking you down) when you have a question.
Since I’m allergic to aloe, I can’t exactly use what they are known for; however, after receiving few samples (with every purchase) I end up swapping all my high-​end skincare for their snail cleanser and watery moisturer. I love how everything there all natural and really affordable too! I personally find their sunscreen better than Shisedo’s, which I have literally been using for the past 15years… (kind of depressing how I love NR’s more than something that’s with me my whole life).
But the reason I gave this store 5 stars is because of the staffs. Upon entering, they already recognized my friend from this afternoon and greeted us with a sense of humor (who doesn’t love to laugh and have a good time!), anyway we left with an item but the staff gave us two set of samples, one for each. Also, per previous purchase, I would request specific samples and they were being extremely kind about it, and even took extra effort to open a new box to get my samples.

I love nature republic! They have great products at great prices. Totally affordable! I really love the face mask, especially the tea tree mask. The aloe vera gel is amazing — so soothing for sun burns.
Nature republic is much better than face shop — they more have products and they are more welcoming.

I was really excited to see this store open on this side of town!
I just love Nature Republic products. My favorite is the 50 spf sunscreen! This is the only sunscreen that I have used where I do not get sun burned. I also like all of the make up products (bb cream, cake brow, mascara, aqua cream, etc.). High quality products, but great prices!
Also, I have to say that at this store the sales people are very friendly and helpful. Five stars from me!

I went in around 1pm today, wasn’t busy at all on a weekday afternoon, only a few customers were there at that time. I love this store and I am a loyal customer but today wasn’t pleasant for me when I got home.
After checking what I just bought, I realized that there were no free small samples (was expecting that so I can try other products before I purchase the full size, and don’t they always give out samples?) AND the staff who helped me checkout (not sure if this is her name on my receipt, Yadanar) forgot to scan my eyebrow pencil! (I really needed an eyebrow pencil cuz I have never own one and decided to get my 1^st from nature republic) I mean she was nice and appropriate but I think maybe she was a new hire or something… :(
Now I need to go back again and just get the eyebrow pencil… :/

LOVE THEIR NAIL POLISHES HERE! $ 2 per bottle for cute and durable colors? I’M SO IN.
They have a huge array of different colors. Alot pastel, some sparkle, and clear. I’ve bought two and tested them out. They stayed on my nails without chipping for around 5 days. These are awesome quality.
I do my nails alot so I’m pretty picky with polishes. But so far so good. SO IF YOU’RE A NAILPOLISH LOVER, I would recommend trying some polishes from Nature Republic.
Other items I recommend from here include the hand soap. The peach one smells so delicious and real.
Looking forward to try more products from here!

Visited this store for the first time today. So many of these Korean skincare stores now so I’ve decided to try them all!
Everyone was so friendly, esp Linda. I was just browsing but ended up asking her for recommendations for my skin type. She was really helpful and suggested what she thought would be good for my skin, not the most expensive item
I ended up buying an item she suggested and she also offered me some samples. I can’t wait to try them all!

As someone who loves Korean cosmetics, I was happy to find out that Nature Republic was now in SoCal! I’ve been wanting to try this brand for a while since many of their products have VERY good reviews. And it doesn’t hurt that EXO is the brand’s models.
So I walked into the store and was greeted right away! Being my first time at the store, I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to even begin. I found myself walking around a few times just to scope where everything was before I even started shopping.
The store is very organized. Everything has a place. There are labels that make it easier to find products that are on top of the shelfs.
One thing I was worried about was the pricing. I’m always afraid that prices of Asian products get hiked up, which normally they do. HOWEVER, I was pleasantly surprised to see that that wasn’t the case. I was able to see on some products how much they cost in Korea and they were only a few dollars cheaper. Good to know we aren’t being ripped off!
The best part however were the SALES! There were a ton! Hand lotions were buy one get one free. Their Aloe cleansing wipes were buy one get one free. And their 10 pack masks were buy one get one free. There were more sales but I can’t remember them off the top of my head. But I was very impressed. Also if you spend over $ 50 you get a gift of a couple free masks, an EXO notebook, and a bag. If you spend $ 70 there is also a gift, I just don’t know what’s inside.
My cashier was very nice too (I’m not sure of her name but she had blue-​ish hair)! She asked if I wanted to sign up for the rewards program (although there wasn’t much info on what it was exactly). She also knew the members of EXO, or so it seemed, because when she asked which member I’d like for my gift she knew which one it was.
Now, the reason why I’m not giving 5 stars is because my friend’s cashier didn’t seem to be as knowledgeable of the products or the gift with purchase. My friend spent $ 69.98, 2 cents from $ 70 which would’ve given her the bigger gift. The cashier didn’t even say anything about it like «hey you know you’re only a few cents from getting the $ 70 gift, would you like to grab something else?». She also almost didn’t give my friend her gift (the $ 50 one). My friend had to ask her about it. She didn’t know the EXO members and just grabbed a few and told her to pick from those. And lastly, this cashier didn’t ask her about the rewards program, or even bring it up! So when I told my friend about it, we went back into the store and they said they can only sign you up when you buy something.
Overall the store was very nice. I enjoyed the atmosphere (and the music! K-​pop the whole time). The staff I encountered were very nice. I’m extremely happy with my purchases and will definitely be back (maybe I’ll try other locations too!).

If I’m not the VIP, I don’t know who is. :) last review cuz I’m good with my products now. I adore all the girls who work there :)
VIP May’s recommendation (I have sensitive skin!):
Snail foam cleanser all the way
Bee venom line (if you tend to break out from the summer)
Cell boosting emulsion (skin regeneration)
Snail hydro gel mask (calming/​whitening/​restoring)
Bee venom mask (calming and preventing breakout)
Tea tree mask (when you have a lot of breakout)
I had facial on Thursday. I pretty used the products mentioned above excluding the tea tree masks. My face was healing by Sat and glowing by Sunday.
For winter time, I’d highly suggest adding the essential oil and ginseng royal silk cream. You wanna look good for your exo boys, you better work hard on your inside AND out too!

NATURE REPUBLIC is one of my favorite korean brands, but my favorite korean skin care brand. There’s very affordable skincare and other things, very comparable to drugstore prices.
There’s just so much to discover in this store.
I love their aloe gel as a moisturizer, it’s light, absorbs quickly, and isn’t sticky.
Their nail polish remover is awesome, I love the pink one. There isn’t that normal scent but a nice sweet floral one. So if you love the deborah lippmann one definitely should try this one. The one is a few dollars while lippmann is like $ 18.
I love their spray Sunblock, sprays a very fine mist, isn’t sticky unless you use a lot of it.
And just discovered a moisturizing lip tint with spf 15 that’s very awesome! Like the dior lip glow this changes to your own color. I love the pink one, strawberry.
They also have some very yummy smelling body lotions.

It’s not every day you walk into the mall and see four EXO members luring you into a beauty store… but now, it can be. Nature Republic is open for business at Santa Anita! Soon, Din Tai Fung will join them, and I’ll permanently move into the mall.
DEALS GALORE. SAMPLES FOR DAYS. My purchase came with six samples, which I shared with a friend. I took home the bee venom essence, Jeju sparkling mud foam cleanser, and a steam cream – all of which I had wanted to try when I saw them in the store! They’re also giving away EXO gifts with every $ 50 purchase. My friend and I paid together and split the gift, which consists of an EXO notebook and a memo pad with an all-​member cardboard cutout.
Buy 3 of their bestselling aloe moisturizers and get a fourth free. Buy one, get one free of their hand creams. Buy 10 face masks, get 10 free. IT WAS INSANE. Will it always be like this? I hope so.
Prices range from the extremely affordable – aforementioned deals – to painfully expensive. Curse you, luxurious snail cream! Thankfully, with all the deals and cheaper options, I think there’s something for everyone, and I can’t wait to come back to treat myself.

I went to this place on opening day and had a bad experience on two fronts… Before I rant, let me first say that the employees are nice, friendly, and helpful… but I am still mad at what happened today and I’ll change my review if this situation gets rectified.
Among other things, I bought a cleansing cream that was supposed to be 50% off from the original price… After I paid with a card that was processed through Square, I requested my receipt emailed to me. I sat outside of the store to check my phone and then checked the receipt and realized the cream had been charged at full price. I went back into the store, took the cream out of the bag and asked the cashier who processed the transaction, if this product was supposed to be half off and showed her the receipt on my phone showing her that it rang at full price. She took the jae of cream, scanned it, and double checked my receipt. She apologized and proceeded to refund half the price. She was nice and polite. I left the mall, did some errands and late that night, when I checked the bag. guess what… there was no cream… it was never put back in the bag…
I realize it was opening day and it was rather crazy so
the moral of this story is: Be wary of receipts getting emailed to you… check the receipts and make sure you have all your products… I will be returning Sunday, June 7^th to get either get my cream or get the other half refunded… and to the store… make sure your products ring up accurately… the department of weights and measures doesn’t take kindly to these sorts of mistakes.

On opening day, the girls were super friendly. They asked if I needed any recommendations for cleansers. Literally everyone there asked and acknowledged me there. I was just browsing and found some great deals. Not sure when the 50% off for certain cleansers will end. They have a bogo (buy one get one free) for face mask. What’s so great is that they have try me nail polishes. I tried on all the colors. I was also given free samples to try. Face shop, I see some competition.
