Daiso Korea Beauty Guide 2026: 11 Product Numbers to Screenshot Before Your Seoul Trip (Everything Under $3.70)

You have probably seen the reels: someone in Seoul sweeping ampoules, toners and sun cushions into a shopping basket and announcing that none of it costs more than ₩5,000 (about $3.70). What those clips never tell you is the one thing that actually matters once you are standing in the store — the 8-to-10-digit product number printed on every Daiso shelf tag, which is the only reliable way to find a specific item when you cannot read the Korean product name. They also skip the fact that stock varies wildly store to store, and that the famous "Daiso reedle shot" is not the full-size product you have seen on K-beauty YouTube. So here are the exact names, sizes, prices and 11 product numbers, cross-checked against Daiso Mall's official product pages and Korean trade press, as of August 12, 2026 — plus how to check a specific store's stock before you walk there.

1. First, what Daiso Korea actually is

If you are planning a Seoul trip, this is worth 30 seconds. Daiso Korea (run by Asung Daiso) is a variety-store chain with roughly 1,600 branches nationwide — you will pass several a day in any Seoul neighborhood. The whole chain runs on six fixed price tiers only: ₩500, ₩1,000, ₩1,500, ₩2,000, ₩3,000 and ₩5,000 (roughly $0.37 to $3.70). The ₩5,000 ceiling has held for 20 years; when rumors spread in February 2025 that it would rise to ₩10,000, the company publicly denied it. The practical takeaway for a shopper: no cosmetic item in the store can cost more than ₩5,000 (~$3.70), so you never need to check a price tag before deciding.

And beauty is no longer a side aisle here. As of April 2026 Daiso carried around 170 beauty brands and roughly 1,800 products, and its 2025 beauty sales grew about 70% year on year — roughly five times the company's overall growth rate of 14.3%. Asung Daiso's 2025 revenue was ₩4.54 trillion (about $3.3 billion), a record.

2. The cheat sheet — 11 product numbers to screenshot

Search any of these numbers on the Daiso Mall app or website and you will land on the exact product, no Korean required. Prices, sizes and ratings are from the official Daiso Mall product pages, checked August 12, 2026.

Product	Size	Price	Product no.	Rating (reviews)
VT PDRN Glow Toner (Daiso's #1 seller, H1 2026)	200ml	₩5,000 (~$3.70)	1067495	4.8 (12,245)
VT Reedle Shot 100 Facial Boosting First Ampoule	2ml × 6 sachets (12ml total)	₩3,000 (~$2.20)	1049275	4.8 (16,366) sold out when checked
Dermablock PDRN Collagen Ampoule (made by Cellfusion C)	30ml	₩5,000 (~$3.70)	1062780	4.8 (497) sold out when checked
Dewytree Tone Up Shade Purple Sun Cushion	15g	₩5,000 (~$3.70)	1076129	4.6 (500)
Dewytree Blur Shade Sun Primer Balm	15g	₩5,000 (~$3.70)	1076131	4.5 (436)
Wonder Bath Apple Tok Bubble Pack Cleanser	100ml	₩5,000 (~$3.70)	1078825	4.7 (489)

Five more numbers from the same lines. We confirmed the product numbers but not each individual price — though given the six fixed tiers, none of them exceeds ₩5,000 (~$3.70).

• Dermablock PDRN Collagen Toner 150ml — 1062779 / Aqua Peel 3ml × 6 — 1062782
• Dewytree Tone Up Shade Sun Cushion Pink — 1076128 / Green — 1076130
• Wonder Bath Lemon Tok Bubble Pack Cleanser — 1078824

Won figures above are the official prices; dollar amounts are approximate, converted at roughly ₩1,360 to the dollar.

3. The "Daiso reedle shot" mix-up, cleared up

Photo: official Daiso Mall product page (no. 1049275). The box reads "CICA×HYALON / 2 mL × 6 ea"; each stick is marked "0.06 fl. oz. / 2 mL".

This is the single most misunderstood item in Korean beauty hauls. When a reel says "they sell reedle shot at Daiso," it does not mean the full-size 50ml essence sold at Olive Young and other beauty retailers. The Daiso item is six 2ml sachets — 12ml total — for ₩3,000 (~$2.20), product number 1049275. The 50ml version is a separate product that Daiso does not carry.

For a traveler that is arguably a feature, not a flaw: sealed 2ml sachets are easy to pack in a carry-on and perfect for testing a formula before you commit to a full bottle back home. Just do not fly home thinking you bought the full-size product for two dollars. One honest caveat — we could not verify the official retail price of the 50ml version, so this article deliberately avoids any per-milliliter price comparison. If you want the full-size version, it lives in the mainstream beauty chains; our guide to Olive Young's 2026 sale dates is the better planning tool for that side of your shopping list.

4. What is actually worth your luggage space

According to a July 12, 2026 report in the Korea Herald's business section, Daiso's best-selling product of any kind in the first half of 2026 was the VT PDRN Glow Toner 200ml (₩5,000, no. 1067495) — ahead of a limescale remover spray (₩3,000) and kitchen towels (₩1,000). A cosmetic outselling household goods in a household-goods chain tells you where the momentum is. The same report noted the most-searched item on Daiso Mall was a "sea grape" skin pack, with over 3.18 million searches.

The Dermablock PDRN Collagen Ampoule (30ml, ₩5,000, no. 1062780) is the other line travelers ask about — salmon-DNA-derived PDRN with collagen and hyaluronic acid, and, less advertised on social media, it is manufactured by Cellfusion C, an established Korean skincare maker. It rates 4.8 from 497 reviews and was sold out when we checked on August 12, 2026.

Sun care: in Korea, the shade is the function

Photo: official Daiso Mall product page (no. 1076129). The case reads "Sallowness Cover", "SPF50+ PA++++" and "15g".

Korean tone-up sun cushions come in tinted shades that are color-correcting, not skin-tone matching — a distinction that trips up first-time buyers constantly. Per the Korean cosmetics trade publication Cosmorning (April 8, 2026), Dewytree makes a seven-piece Daiso-exclusive sun care line: three tone-up sun cushions, three sun ampoules and one primer balm.

• Purple (1076129) — cancels yellow tones. 15g, ₩5,000, rated 4.6 from 500 reviews; includes a Rubycell puff.
• Green (1076130) — cancels redness.
• Pink (1076128) — adds warmth and color.

The Blur Shade Sun Primer Balm (1076131), 15g for ₩5,000 and rated 4.5 from 436 reviews, is a different thing entirely — a balm-textured primer with sun protection, labeled "Pore Blur" on the official packaging.

The cleanser everyone is filming

Wonder Bath launched five products at Daiso on April 11, 2026 (Cosmorning, April 6, 2026): three 60-second bubble pack cleansers (lemon, apple, berry), a lemon melting cleansing oil balm and a lemon lip-and-eye remover. The Apple Tok Bubble Pack Cleanser, 100ml for ₩5,000, rates 4.7 from 489 reviews. Its selling point is doing double duty as a wash-off pack and a cleanser in one 60-second step. On Korean shelves and on the app listing you will see a "PICK" endorsement mark from a Korean celebrity attached to the name — useful as a visual landmark when you are scanning a crowded aisle. The lemon version is number 1078824.

5. Traveler logistics: how to not waste a trip across town

Daiso beauty stock differs enormously between branches, and the popular items genuinely sell out. Here is the workflow that works even if you read no Korean.

• Search by number, never by name. Product numbers are pure digits — the one part of a Korean retail site that needs no translation. Korean product names in this category are also near-identical across variants (three sun cushion shades share one name), so numbers are more reliable even for Korean speakers.
• Use Daiso Mall's store-stock finder before you travel across the city. Enter the product number, pick a branch, and it shows that branch's live stock count and even which display aisle the item sits in. Crucially, it works without logging in — no Korean account or phone number needed, which is not true of many Korean shopping apps.
• Treat the stock number as an estimate. Daiso itself warns that displayed stock may differ from what is actually on the shelf. Plan for a second-choice branch rather than a single long trip.
• Expect Korean-language support only. The customer lines (1522-4400 for store questions, 1599-2211 for Daiso Mall, weekdays 09:00-18:00) are domestic Korean numbers, so use a translation app in the browser rather than calling if you do not speak Korean.
• PDRN and reedle-shot items: buy on sight. Both the VT Reedle Shot ampoule (1049275) and the Dermablock PDRN ampoule (1062780) were sold out on August 12, 2026. If you spot one on the shelf, that is your window.
• Check both channels. An item sold out in store may be available on Daiso Mall online, and vice versa.
• Budgeting is trivially easy. With a ₩5,000 ceiling, a toner plus an ampoule plus sun care plus a cleanser lands around ₩20,000 (about $15) — which is why Daiso has become a standard stop on K-beauty shopping itineraries. If you are already planning that stop, the same store's seasonal aisles are worth a look too: we mapped those in our guide to Daiso's summer fans under $4.
• Trust review counts over reels. The Daiso Mall listings carry large samples — 12,245 reviews on the PDRN toner, 16,366 on the reedle shot ampoule. That is a far better signal than a 15-second video.

6. What we could not confirm

In the interest of being straight with you:

• The retail price of the full-size 50ml VT Reedle Shot — the retailer's page was inaccessible to us, so no per-ml comparison appears above.
• Daiso's August 2026 new beauty arrivals (palettes, blushes, brushes and so on) — circulating on social media but not confirmed by any official announcement or trade press, so they are left out. New items land monthly; check the new-arrivals section in the app.
• A few individual product numbers and prices found only on aggregator blogs, which we could not match to an official product page.
• Wonder Bath's cumulative sales figures — widely repeated online, not confirmed by the brand or trade press.
• Real-time stock at any specific branch — impossible to fix in an article; the store-stock finder is the only live answer.

The short version: everything in Daiso's beauty aisle is ₩5,000 (~$3.70) or less, the eleven numbers above cover almost everything you have seen in the reels, and "Daiso reedle shot" means six 2ml sachets, not the full-size bottle. Save this post to your trip notes so you can pull up the table at the shelf and search by number in seconds. If a price or a stock situation looks different when you get there, drop a comment — we will update it for the next traveler.
