Online shopping has surged in the Philippines since the pandemic, with around 14.4 million Filipinos shopping online each month. Shopee, one of the top 10 shopping apps in the country, hosts beauty stores like Sui Sui PH. One of the most popular items bought online is beauty products, particularly Korean beauty products because many of them are not available in local stores like Watsons. Unfortunately, many beauty products online are fake. So I am here to answer if this shop Sui Sui PH is legit.

What is Sui Sui PH?

According to their LinkedIn page, SUI SUI is one of the leading health and beauty retailers in the Philippine E-Commerce market; selling and distributing throughout the country various Korean brands of skincare, fragrance, make-up, hair, and body care. You can find them not only in Shopee but also in Lazada.

I first heard about them around 2020 from my Skincare moots, but I didn’t buy anything from them because there are already stores where I regularly buy my Asian beauty products. Later that year, I received an email from the PR of the rising brand, Axis-y for a collaboration where I wrote a review and created videos of their products. After we negotiated, they told me that their local Philippine partner would send the products and it turned out to be Sui Sui PH.

After that, I started checking Sui Sui PH for other products until they also became one of my go-to stores to restock my skincare products. I like that they are one of the first local shops to sell trending products in TikTok and their prices are a little lower than those Korean-based resellers in Shopee.

Since my Axis-y collaboration, it’s safe for me to assume that Sui Sui PH is legit. Besides that brand, I also repurchase Beauty of Joseon and CosRx in their store. As for the issue of different packaging compared to other local stores or those from Korea, I suggest you check the batch number.

When it comes to Korean brands, they are known to frequently make minor changes to their packaging without prior notice When it comes to skincare with naturally sourced ingredients, it depends on the season of harvest. For instance, green tea, some may notice it has the same color as soy sauce while some notice a little lighter in color which normally happens and people already doubt the authenticity because of this.

Side Note:

But sometimes, Korean brands also make minor changes in their formula. The best example is the Benton Snail Bee Essence, the product that got me into Kbeauty. It was reformulated around 2016 or 2017 because there was a batch that got mold. Turns out their natural preservatives were not strong enough so they refunded the customers and changed the formula. Over the years, they also changed the packaging several times. I also felt the same way with Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, although the brand never formally admitted it, when I repurchased them in 2021 it felt like a regular lip balm. Before when I left them on overnight, my lips felt smooth for at least a week.

Sui Sui PH has also been a topic in online forums like GoPicky, BeautyTalkPH on Reddit, and The Project Vanity Community where they have favorable reviews from customers.
