Online shopping is booming in the Philippines, but a lot of online scammers are also taking advantage of this booming industry. One of the most frequently asked questions I get is where to buy legit beauty products. That is why I dedicated a Shopping Guide on my website. There are legit websites where customers can buy from an individual seller but are plagued with counterfeit products. I already listed some legit Lazada sellers, so today in honor of 11.11 here’s another one, a list of legit Shopee sellers where you can buy K-Beauty and other Asian beauty products in the Philippines.
How to get rebates when you shop online?
But first, let me tell you how I save money when I shop online. I use Shopback which you can download on your phone and browser. You’ll not only get cash rebates, but you’ll also get voucher codes in almost every shop in the Philippines like Lazada, Shopee, and also some stores abroad Sephora, Althea, Shopbop, and even Klook! You’ll surely save some money.
List of Legit K-Beauty Shopee Sellers:
1. SUI SUI PH – I received products from this shop as a content creator and also bought some products from them using my own money. Their products are legit and I am impressed with the brands they carry. They have Innisfree, Acwell, Pyungkang Yul, Heimish, Its Skin, W.Dressroom, Some By Mi, and more!
2. KBEAUTY CAFE – I have been buying Kbeauty products from them since 2017-18. They are one of the OGs from Instagram and now they’re in Shopee and Lazada. You can also follow their TikTok account for some beauty education.
3. RR KOREAN SHOP – One of the OGs that started selling Korean beauty to the Philippines when it was just starting to get popular locally. They also started on Instagram, and now they’re in Shopee.
4. KOREAN OPPA’S CHOICE – Another Shopee seller whom I have shopped several times already. Korean Oppa is mainly a cosmetics shop but they also sell popular beauty tools and perfumes from Korea.
5. THE SKINCARE CURATOR – I trust them as they’re one of the first local K-beauty sellers I know when I started in 2017-18. They sell hardest-to-find products like Neogen, Purito, and Japanese beauty brands.
6. DAYUHAN – This is my go-to shop for hard-to-find and TikTok viral beauty products. They also do transactions on Carousell and Instagram. They sell Glow Recipe, Then I Met You, and Krave Beauty, brands that were founded by Korean Americans. But they mostly sell Western beauty brands like Summer Fridays, Rhode, Kosas (I bought my deodorant from them), the cult fave Gisou, Glossier, Tower 28, Olaplex (they sell it cheaper than Sephora PH), Rare Beauty, and more.
Legit Japanese Beauty Sellers in Shopee
MENTHOLATUM – This company owns Hada Labo, Rohto Melano, Selsun, and more. Since they arrived in the Philippines, they now have an official store in Shopee.
KANNA BEAUTY – This is where I got my Rohto Melano CC which is a cult fave among beauty enthusiasts, Naturafactor Concealer, DHC Oil Cleanser, and some Japanese supplements. Their products are all from Japan and they have almost everything you can find in Japanese drugstores, such as Rohto, Hada Labo, Daiso, DHC, and countless collagen supplements.
SAKURA BEAUTY HUB – I recently discovered this seller while I was looking for Biore UV Watery Essence and Anessa Perfect UV sunscreen. The items are legit, the same as those I bought in Japan and Watsons, and besides Japanese beauty products, they also have beauty supplements and snacks.
So far this is the only legit Shopee sellers where you can buy Korean and Japanese beauty products. When I discover more, I will update this list. But if you know some, don’t hesitate to share their links below.
NOTE: When it comes to Kbrands and Jbrands, they are known to frequently change their packaging without prior notice. Sometimes it involves the formulation as well. When it comes to skincare that has naturally sourced ingredients, it depends on the harvest season. For example, green tea may look darker than usual. So if you’re in doubt, it’s best to reach out to the resellers about their products’ authenticity. If they didn’t respond, then go to the next store.
