By 變美體驗官 If you travel to South Korea and your first stop is still Myeongdong or Olive Young, you’re really missing out! Today’s South Korea’s DAISO is the real **“ultimate skincare paradise”**! 💸
I just returned from Seoul and spent the whole night compiling this must-buy list for my friends. Although most of these products cost only 1,000 to 5,000 Korean won (about HKD 6 to 30 / TWD 25 to 120), their quality is truly on par with that of high-brand products! 👇
🔥 1. Must-get product: VT Micro-needle Essence (CICA Reedle Shot)
- Price: 3,000 Korean won per 6 packs
- Reasons to buy it: This product is always out of stock at Olive Young, but Great Creation has finally released it in a boxed set! Although the concentration may vary slightly, it really smells amazing for someone just starting out. The effect on narrowing Pores is absolutely remarkable! ✨
💧 2. The giants in hydration: Vaseline masks & Lindsay/Medipeel patches
- Price: 1,000–2,000 Korean won
- Must-buy reason: OY sells a facial mask for 3,000, while SWOMAN only charges 1,000! Especially the Lindsay facial mask – many South Korean YouTubers are promoting it. You can enjoy the same high-quality spa treatment as in a luxury salon right at home, with intense moisturizing effects.
🎨 3. Collaboration with a makeup expert: TAG Dual-Color Contour Palette
- Price: 5,000 Korean won
- Must-buy reason: As a secondary line from the popular Too Cool For School brand, this product features fine powder texture and colors that never turn red. Specifically designed for Asian skin tones, it offers high-quality performance at just 5,000 Korean won—don’t hesitate to give it a try!
🛠️ 4. lifesavers for detail control: foundation applicators & soft cotton pads
- Price: 1,000 – 3,000 Korean won
- Hands-on test: The recently super-popular “scrub stick foundation application method” only costs 1,000 pieces per large pack! There are also moisturizing cotton pads that come with makeup remover – perfect for touch-ups in the morning or for local applications, so convenient it’s almost tear-jerking. 😭
👔 5. Solving everyday embarrassment: Special stain remover for white shirts & portable mouthwash
- Price: 1,000 – 5,000 Korean won
- Scenario: Got oil on your clothes while eating barbecue, or feel embarrassed about your breath before a date? These two little gadgets can really come in handy! Especially the stain remover pen – just 1,000 Korean won per piece. People who often wear white shirts should definitely stock up on a dozen of them.
