Our Story

Why we started PICK no.3 — and what we pick for you.

Pick No.3 Australia

TALK BEAUTY, PICK THREE

From the Creator of Beauty of Joseon

When K-Beauty took the global skincare market by storm, Kang-Il Kim was right at the heart of it—the creator who brought Beauty of Joseon to life.

In traditional Korean architecture, a Hanok is built with purpose: removing every unnecessary detail to leave only balance, warm wood, and natural light. Looking at a beauty market filled with endless products and confusing claims, he asked a simple question:

"Like a quiet Hanok built with honest materials, can skincare shopping be pure, focused, and truly centered on what the skin needs?"

To replace trend hype with clarity and trust, he designed a peaceful space where modern science meets Korean heritage: Pick No.3.

The Philosophy of '3': Simple & Balanced Curation

Just as a Hanok relies on three essential elements—pillars, beams, and roof—our approach rests on three clear promises:

01.

3 Core Solutions

We skip complex jargon and group skincare by essential skin goals: Hydration, Calming, Barrier Care, Glow, Brightening, Firming, and Pore Refining.

02.

Top 3 Curated Choices

No sponsored hype. We focus strictly on ingredient quality and formula effectiveness to bring you the top 3 proven options for each skin concern.

03.

The 3rd Space

Pick No.3 is more than a store—it is a calm, thoughtful sanctuary where you can slow down, understand your skin, and build a routine that works.


Breathed for Australia: Climate-Matched K-Beauty

Australia's unique climate presents distinct skin challenges—intense UV exposure, dry heat, and sudden weather changes.

Finding reliable K-Beauty shouldn't mean guessing through endless options. Pick No.3 bridges authentic Korean skincare directly to Australia:

  • Climate-Matched Curation: Handpicked formulations focused on deep hydration, sun care, and skin barrier recovery suited for Australian conditions.
  • Expert Curation: Backed by the experience behind Beauty of Joseon, we evaluate and select from over 200+ trusted Korean brands.
  • Easy, Thoughtful Shopping: No overwhelming lists. Every Top 3 pick is chosen for clear, real results.

Just as traditional Korean heritage values timeless balance and nature, Pick No.3 brings clarity, honest formulas, and effortless skincare choices to Australia.
