Brand Comparison
Banobagi vs Dasique
A head-to-head comparison of two popular K-beauty brands. Which one is right for your skin?
Our Pick
Banobagi
Larger product range
Banobagi
Banobagi reads like what happens when a famous Korean clinic decides their post-procedure aftercare deserves to be available to everyone. The Vita Genic Jelly Mask put them on the map, and the Milk Thistle Repair Cream became the quiet sleeper hit. Formulations skew clinical-soothing — high panthenol, niacinamide, centella — exactly what you'd expect from a brand born in Gangnam's aesthetic-clinic ecosystem.
Pros
- ✓ Clinic-derived credibility
- ✓ Excellent for post-procedure skin
- ✓ Strong barrier-repair lineup
- ✓ Great quality at mid-tier pricing
Cons
- ✗ Branding is uneven across products
- ✗ Less buzz outside Korea
- ✗ Some packaging feels generic
Dasique
Dasique is the brand that put nine-pan eyeshadow palettes back on every K-beauty TikTok For You page. Powders are buttery-fine, the color stories lean petal-soft and work-friendly, and the price point sits squarely in "yes, buy it on a whim" territory. Think 3CE's gentler younger sister — less party, more Sunday-brunch-with-glow.
Pros
- ✓ Finely milled, blendable powders
- ✓ Beginner-friendly color stories
- ✓ Beautiful petal-pink packaging
- ✓ Genuinely affordable luxury feel
Cons
- ✗ Limited bold/dramatic shade ranges
- ✗ Some shimmers can fall out
