Daiso K-Beauty Product Recommendations
1. VT COSMETICS Reedle Shot
If you're into K-Beauty, you've most likely heard of or tried the VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot Essence! It's an essence that contains tiny particles that mimic the effects of microneedling, designed to be used before other skincare products to help absorb it better. Beginners are recommended to start with level 100 and then go up from there.
Keep in mind that the Reedle Shot products at Daiso are not full size but come in individually-packaged pouches. They sell out quite quickly, so you may need to ask the cashier for more popular products like this one.
2. DAISO Face Masks
There is a huge variety of face masks available at Daiso! Many people like the Vaseline face masks, which are especially great to use during the cold, dry winters in Korea, or the Collagen Essence Gel Mask from Celderma. There's a huge selection in-store and they're all very affordable, so pick out as many as you like!
3. A'pieu Tea Tree Spot Serum
A'pieu is a K-Beauty brand that has been around for many years, and is now available at Daiso! The tea tree line skincare products are very popular, especially this acne spot treatment serum.
