Are Daiso Korea K-beauty products the same as the versions sold elsewhere?
It depends on the product, and the label is the way to tell. AMS compared three VT Reedle Shot pairs sold at Daiso and on Kurly (October 9, 2026). Reedle Shot 100 and 300 had the same manufacturer, responsible seller, country of manufacture, functional claims and the same 43-ingredient list in the same order. The collagen one did not match: Daiso sells "S50" while Kurly sells "100", with the same 31 ingredients in a different order.
What to do now
- Compare the exact product name, including the number (100, 300, S50).
- Check the manufacturer and the responsible seller (화장품제조업자 / 화장품책임판매업자) on the back.
- Compare the ingredient list (전성분) and the functional-claim line (기능성).
- Compare price per 10 ml rather than the shelf price.
- For a definite answer on the formula, ask the responsible seller's customer service printed on the box.
Who owns the resolution
Only the responsible seller can confirm whether two products share the same formula. AMS compares the published labels and does not rate either product.

Give another AI the facts it needs—not just “what should I do?”
I need practical help with a Daiso Korea issue. The policy question: Are Daiso Korea K-beauty products the same as the versions sold elsewhere? Useful context I found: It depends on the product, and the label is the way to tell. AMS compared three VT Reedle Shot pairs sold at Daiso and on Kurly (October 9, 2026). Reedle Shot 100 and 300 had the same manufacturer, responsible seller, country of manufacture, functional claims and the same 43-ingredient list in the same order. The collagen one did not match: Daiso sells "S50" while Kurly sells "100", with the same 31 ingredients in a different order. My specific situation: [Describe what happened, including dates and messages shown] The outcome I want: [Refund, verification, appeal, account recovery, explanation, etc.] Important constraints: [Country, deadline, booking/account status, documents already submitted, budget, or other limits] Please: 1. Identify any missing facts you need before reaching a conclusion. 2. Separate platform policy, local law, and your own inference. 3. Give me the safest next steps in priority order. 4. Use current official sources where possible and flag anything that may have changed. 5. Draft a concise message I can paste to customer support. 6. Do not invent account access, guarantees, refund rights, or legal conclusions.
Why this policy exists
This is a label comparison, not a lab test or a review. It uses the product information each seller is required to display.
What matched for Reedle Shot 100 and 300 (Daiso 2 ml × 6 = 12 ml for ₩3,000; Kurly 50 ml):
· Manufacturer E&C Co., Ltd. and responsible seller VT Cosmetics
· Made in Korea
· The same registered functional claims (brightening and wrinkle improvement)
· The same ingredient list in the same order
Price per 10 ml (price ÷ total ml × 10): Daiso ₩2,500 for all three; Kurly sale price ₩4,160 (100), ₩5,590 (300) and ₩5,760 (collagen 100), or ₩6,400, ₩8,600 and ₩9,600 at list price. Prices change daily; coupons are excluded.
What a label cannot tell you: Korean labelling rules list ingredients by amount, but those at 1% or less and fragrances or colourants can appear in any order. A matching list therefore suggests the same formula but does not prove the same amounts, and a different order does not tell you how much less of anything there is.
Ingredient-by-ingredient amounts were not disclosed for any pair.
So check the exact product name and number (100, 300 and S50 are different products), the manufacturer and responsible seller, and the ingredient list.
