Check one of the three foreign food stores in Itaewon... Sure you'll find something to your taste (undoubtably overpriced, lol)

know that even these are only sold through summer in korean stores. after that there is none. go to namdaemun market to the orange byc - international goods building. if you can find it from the namdaemun gate entrance walking down the main road in the market from the subway stop (hoehyeon?), it should be there. Go to the basement of these buildings and explore. you'll find lots of american goods. deodorant / anti-persperant should be there. i've bought the gillette gel type there a few times.

What most people would consider to be good quality deodorant usually costs over 9000 in Korea....if you can even find it.

In accordance with my policy of never paying extortionate prices for imported goods in Korea as if we're still in the 1950s, I just stock up on deodorant whenever I'm able to get away from planet Korea.

Costco has deodorant and antiperspirant. Check this other thread out for getting Costco delivered;

Watsons and Olive Young carry Nivea deodorant.

I've been going to Yangjae or Sangbong Costco for about 6 years and have never seen any brand of deodorant.

I'd sure like to be wrong about that though as I'm down to the last bit of my last roll-on!!

every single Emart and Home Plus I've been to stocks deodorant and they have a range of roll-ons, sticks and sprays.

I've never seen deodorant at Costco in Korea.

I used to buy my deodorant in the black market stores in Songtan. I'm pretty sure you can find it in Itaewon too, perhaps at the red door store.

I use Nivea men's spray deodorant. It's found all over the place in Korea. I never have trouble finding it. It's not the strongest deodorant, but it does the trick for me.
