d'Alba's tone-up sun cream went from #24 to #1 in Olive Young Korea's suncare in eight days.

On Oct 31 the 50 mL + 50 mL duo of d'Alba's Waterfull Tone-Up Sun Cream (Pink Correcting) was #24 in Olive Young Korea's suncare ranking. On Nov 8 it was #1, and it was still #1 on Nov 10. It replaced a ROUND LAB sunscreen set that had been #1 on all 15 daily reads from Oct 13 to Nov 2 — and in between, #1 changed hands four times.

This week in one sight2026-W46

Three maps of the same week. Tap a map to enlarge; open the notes for how to read it — and what it does not claim.

How we measure ›
01 · Korea vs the incumbents

Who outranks whom, on a shelf they both stand on

How to read it

Every arrow is a pair of brands that appear on at least one of the same four US best-seller charts — Sephora, Ulta, Amazon and Target. The arrow runs from the brand ranking higher, and the number on it is how many of their shared shelves it wins. Korean brands are filled red; the non-Korean incumbents they are measured against are grey.

What it does not say

A higher rank is not a bigger business. These charts rank units or velocity by each retailer's own method, and we cannot see revenue, assortment, or anything below each chart's published depth. A brand with one shelf win can be a fraction of the size of the brand it beat.

02 · Inside K-beauty

The pecking order, decided shelf by shelf

How to read it

The same head-to-head, run only between Korean brands, and only where two of them sit on at least two of the same weekly charts — one overlap is a coincidence, not a rivalry. The number is how many of those shared shelves the winner takes. A red line means it took every one of them. Ties are left blank, because a tie has no direction to draw.

What it does not say

Reach is not size. A brand can win every shared shelf and still be the smaller company. Channels whose feeds are not ordered by sales are excluded from the comparison entirely.

03 · Platform by platform

The same week looks different on every shelf

How to read it

Each grey node is a US platform re-captured in the week the figure names — usually this week, and the most recent complete week when manual captures are still coming in. Each carries its own denominator — 22/100, 0/30, 16/99. Red nodes are the Korean brands that reach more than one of them; each line is labelled with that brand's best rank on that platform. Platforms that were not re-captured this week are left out, because a stale chart cannot describe this week.

What it does not say

The platforms are not directly comparable to each other. Different retailers rank by different methods and sample different depths, which is exactly why the denominator is printed on every node. Read each platform against itself over time.

All three are drawn from the same 2026-W46 snapshot as the tables above. Nothing on them is modelled, estimated or weighted — every number is a count of ranked rows we archived this week.
