Five Daiso Korea summer beauty picks for ₩20,000
By URITRIP
Daiso Korea's beauty aisle carries exclusive lines from major manufacturers. Amorepacific's Happy Bath Feel So Good and BONCEPT, distributed by Tonymoly, are two of them.
This guide covers five summer body and skincare items, written for anyone planning a Daiso stop on a trip to Korea. Prices and sizes reflect Daiso Korea in-store listings as of July 2026 and apply to purchases made in Korea.
Five Daiso Korea summer picks at a glance
- The five items come to ₩20,000 in total: ₩2,000 for the gel mask, ₩3,000 for the cooling stick, and ₩5,000 each for the other three.
- For summer, the Happy Bath Feel So Good Trouble Care Body Mist is the one to prioritize. A spray format reaches the back and upper arms, where lotions are hard to apply.
- The BONCEPT ampoule kit and the BONCEPT gel mask are both retinol products. Using them on separate days works better than layering them the same night.
- The Dermaqueen Cooling Stick is classified as a beauty tool rather than a cosmetic. It is not a product to judge by ingredients.
- Retinol products call for a check with a professional during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Happy Bath Feel So Good Trouble Care Body Mist
145ml for ₩5,000, item number 1080031. Feel So Good is a body trouble care line Amorepacific's Happy Bath makes exclusively for Daiso Korea, alongside a body wash, shower pads, and body patches.
The brand describes a two-step routine: step one washes away excess sebum, and step two layers a soothing toning spray. This mist is step two. Centella asiatica, drawn from the plant's flower and stem, is positioned for calming sensitive skin, with tone care for the marks blemishes leave behind.
Why the body mist leads this list in summer
The spray format is what makes it practical. Lotions and creams are difficult to reach across the back, and they leave a pressed-down feeling under clothes. A mist goes on straight after a shower, on skin that is still damp.
The full ingredient list is not published on the Daiso Mall product page. Checking the label on the bottle is more reliable for anyone deciding based on a specific ingredient.
Who the body mist suits
It works well in these cases:
- Body breakouts on the back or arms that recur through summer
- A preference for body products without an oily or tacky finish
- A routine that should end in one step after showering
It calls for more caution in these cases:
- Sensitivity to fragranced body products
- A history of reacting to a specific ingredient, which makes label checking necessary
- An existing prescription topical treatment for the body
Somisome Sedum Moisture Square Pads
60 pads, 200g, ₩5,000, item number 1076096. The pads carry sedum extract, and the brand lists in-house testing showing a 105% increase in skin moisture after a single use. Oeko-Tex and vegan certifications are noted on the packaging.
That works out to roughly ₩83 per pad. The count makes it easy to use in place of a toner step in the morning, or chilled to settle skin after heat exposure.
BONCEPT Vita C Freeze-Dried Double Shot Ampoule Kit
50mg plus 10ml for ₩5,000, item number 1061918. It is registered with Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as a functional cosmetic for brightening, and Tonymoly distributes it.
The format is unusual. Pure vitamin C sits in a freeze-dried capsule, and the capsule mixes into an ampoule of retinol and niacinamide immediately before use. Drop the capsule into the ampoule, fit the dropper, shake to combine, then apply a small amount.
BONCEPT Retinol Double V-Fit Gel Mask
One sheet, 22g, ₩2,000, item number 1072418. It carries pure retinol at 60ppb along with liposome retinol, bakuchiol, and panthenol. At ₩2,000 it is the least expensive of the five, and the single-sheet format makes it a reasonable way to test how skin responds to a retinol product.
The fabric, retinol content, and application timing are covered in more detail in Daiso Korea's 2026 first-half beauty top 5.
Dermaqueen Cooling Stick, a tool rather than a cosmetic
₩3,000, item number 1048910. Unlike the other four, it is classified as a beauty tool, not a cosmetic. Coolant sits inside the stick, and an aluminum plate resists corrosion and static.
Rolling it over a soothing gel or cream reduces friction. It also serves to bring skin temperature down before base makeup on summer mornings.
Prices, sizes, and item numbers
Item numbers are the practical detail here. Daiso Korea stores are organized by category rather than brand, and staff can locate a product from the number faster than from a name.
| Product | Item no. | Size | Price in Korea |
|---|---|---|---|
| Happy Bath Feel So Good Trouble Care Body Mist | 1080031 | 145ml | ₩5,000 |
| Somisome Sedum Moisture Square Pads | 1076096 | 60 pads, 200g | ₩5,000 |
| BONCEPT Vita C Freeze-Dried Double Shot Ampoule Kit | 1061918 | 50mg + 10ml | ₩5,000 |
| BONCEPT Retinol Double V-Fit Gel Mask | 1072418 | 1 sheet, 22g | ₩2,000 |
| Dermaqueen Cooling Stick | 1048910 | - | ₩3,000 |
These figures reflect Daiso Korea listings in July 2026 and apply in Korean stores. Daiso Korea operates separately from Daiso chains in other countries, so the same items and prices are not guaranteed elsewhere.
How to layer the five, and what to watch
Buying all five at once raises a sequencing question, mainly because retinol appears twice.
- Two retinol products: The ampoule kit and the gel mask both contain retinol. Layering them the same evening can compound irritation, so separate days work better.
- Day and night: Retinol products belong in an evening routine, with sunscreen the following day.
- Starting frequency: For a first retinol product, once a week is a safer starting point, adjusted based on how skin responds.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Retinol calls for a check with a professional in these cases.
- Body only: The body mist is formulated for the body, not the face.
Shopping checklist for a Daiso visit in Korea
All five are stocked in Korean stores, and the total comes to ₩20,000. For a single summer purchase, the body mist alone covers most of the ground.
- Larger Daiso branches carry wider beauty sections; smaller stores may stock only part of this list.
- Saving the item numbers makes it faster to ask staff, since product names in store are written in Korean.
- The Daiso Mall app shows store-level inventory, though it runs in Korean and ships within Korea only.
- Functional claims such as brightening can be checked on the back label under Korea's cosmetics labeling rules.
- Retinol items suit an evening routine, so packing them for the return flight rather than using them mid-trip avoids sun exposure issues.
- Prices and packaging change over time, so treat these figures as a July 2026 snapshot.
