A Korean cushion refill fits the line it was made for, not the brand it was made by. 본품 means the case plus a cushion; 리필 means the refill alone. Read the option field, not the product name alone, before you submit a request.
- 본품 is the compact with the case; 리필 is the refill pan. A line can be sold as two separate products, and only one of them includes a case.
- A title such as `[리필기획] AGE20S 노블 커버 새틴 쿠션(본품+리필)` contains a case and a refill — 리필기획 does not mean refill-only.
- One listing can hold both a case plan and a refill plan, so the option you pick decides whether a case is included.
- Refill capacity is printed per line: 12g, 12.5g, 13g and 15g all appear on Korean listings, so a refill for one line is not a universal size.
- Refill shades and stock are tracked separately from the case plan; a shade sold with a case can be 일시품절 (temporarily out of stock) as a refill.
본품 and 리필 Are Two Different Products
What the two labels mean
On Olive Young Korea, 헤라 블랙 쿠션 파운데이션 리필 15g is a listing of its own. Its option field holds nine entries, every one prefixed `[리필]` — 13N1 through 27N1 — and none includes a case. The case version sits in a different listing, 헤라 블랙 쿠션 파운데이션 전컬러 본품+리필 기획, where the options read `[기획] 13N1(본품+리필)`.
Same brand, same line, two products: the refill alone, and the case with one refill inside it. When you want a refill for a case you already own, the product that matters is the refill-only listing for your line.
[리필기획] in a title is not refill-only
기획 means a plan or a bundle. AGE20S tags most of its cushion listings `[리필기획]`, and the full titles end with (본품+리필) — one of them is `[리필기획] AGE20S 노블 커버 새틴 쿠션(본품+리필)`. The plan contains a refill, and the case comes with it. Reading only the bracket gets the contents backwards; the parenthetical describes the box.
Match the Line and the Capacity, Not Just the Brand
Capacity is printed per product
Korean cushion titles carry the weight because refills are not interchangeable between lines. Recent examples from one retailer include 블랑디바 워터벨벳 쿠션 12g, AGE20S 글로우 핏 수분광 톤업 선팩트 12.5g, 퓌 쿠션 글래스 13g, 헤라 블랙 쿠션 파운데이션 리필 15g and 이지듀 기미 앰플 쿠션 리필 15g. The numbers differ because the compact inside differs. A 15g refill and a 12g case are not the same fitting, even when both carry one brand name.
Same brand, different line
Brands run several cushion lines at once, and each line keeps its own case. 헤라 sells 블랙 쿠션 and 리플렉션 스킨 글로우 쿠션 refills as separate 15g products, and 클리오, 퓌 and 에이지투웨니스 sell refills under their own line names. Nothing on those pages says a refill from one line drops into another line's case, so treat them as different products unless the page states otherwise.
What to check when the page is quiet
- Look for a refill that names your exact line and capacity. If the brand sells none for that line, there may be nothing to swap.
- Read the brand's own product information and FAQ. Marketplaces summarise; the brand states what its refill fits.
- Compare the photos — a bare pan and a closed compact are different purchases.
- If your case arrived inside a 본품+리필 plan, keep it — the refill-only listing for that line is where replacements come from.
Read the Option Field Before the Title
A title can only describe a listing; the option field is what you order. On 클리오 킬 커버 파운웨어 쿠션 단품/기획, the dropdown holds two families — eight `[프렙베이스 | 기획]` options and six `[리필기획]` options. Picking from the wrong family means paying for a case you already own, or leaving without the case you needed.
Stock and shades move separately
Inside that same refill family, three shades — 17C 페어, 17N 크림 and 19N 포슬린 — were marked 일시품절 next to a 재입고 알림 button. 일시품절 means temporarily out of stock, and 재입고 알림 registers a restock alert. The case family carried more shades than the refill family, so a shade available with a case can be missing as a refill. 품절 is the harder version of the same label.
Gifts attached to refill plans
Refill plans often add a free puff, pouch or mini. Olive Young states that 증정품 is operated separately from the paid product, can sell out early without notice, and has to be returned with the order. Treat the extra as a bonus, not part of the refill. Where the extra is a bundle of its own, see what is actually included in an Olive Young 1+1 set.
A Checklist Before You Submit a Request
- Find whether your line has a 리필 option or a separate refill listing.
- Copy the option name exactly: `[리필] 21N1` and `[기획] 21N1(본품+리필)` are different orders.
- Put the refill capacity next to the capacity of the case you own.
- If a shade is 품절 or 일시품절, decide on a second choice before ordering.
- Check whether the refill listing carries a 증정 item, and read the condition instead of assuming it.

How to Order from Korea with Ships From Korea
Add the product link, options, quantity, and destination country. Complete payment, and we try to purchase the item in Korea. If the item is sold out, unavailable, or cannot be purchased, your payment is refunded. If the item is available and can be purchased, we receive it in Korea and prepare it for international shipping.
Does a refill fit any case from the same brand?
Not necessarily. Listings separate cushions by line and by capacity, and each line keeps its own case. Unless the page states the refill is made for your product, treat it as a different product.
Why is my shade 품절 only on the refill listing?
Refill shades are tracked as their own options. On 클리오 킬 커버 파운웨어 쿠션, the case options and the `[리필기획]` options list different shades, and three refill shades were 일시품절 with a 재입고 알림 alert while case options stayed available.
Is the free puff part of the refill?
No. 증정 items are operated separately from the paid product, and Olive Young notes that they are limited and can sell out early without notice.
