1) If a topic like this already exists, sorry. I didn't see one.
2) This is for other people to ask about their favorite hidden toiletries as well.
So... I'm looking primarily for some kind of facial scrub (not face wash- it doesn't exfoliate) with salicylic acid. I already tried Emart. No good. Some lip balm would also be good. I saw some at Emart, but it was mega expensive. The selection of body wash and shampoo was also abysmal. Any suggestions on another store to go to for western toiletries? |

Im not sure if deodorant is a toiletry but regardless I can't find it.
Is there a chain store that stocks it or is it more of a daytrip to a Costco type deal? |

I have too much Mitchum and am selling it in a lot. Leaving the city Friday, country Sunday. If you need men's deodorant drop me a line. |

Have you tried the Korean chains like Skin Food and Faceshop?
Personally, I like Skin Food's black sugar facial scrub. It's very natural.
Lib balm... I use The Faceshop's shea butter lip balm.
Believe it or not, the Nivea roll-on deoderant you get at Watson's or Olive Young is pretty good.
If you haven't tried the Korean beauty chains, give them a shot. It's inexpensive to try products there....
Innisfree has a great tea tree oil essence gel... |

I ran out of my deodorant from home and picked this up. It's really fantastic. I couldn't believe it. And unfortunately, I don't think it's sold in the States! |

There are lots of Watsons. Offhand, there's one near Ewha Women's University station line #2. Go out of exit 3 and walk straight down the hill. It's on your right... a 4 or 5 minute walk max.
The Watsons Korea site has an English link and here is their store locations. http://www.gsretail.com/Gswatsons/eng/shop.asp
Unfortunately, the maps are in Korean, but I think they're not too hard to read... |

I hope they introduce it soon.
As for your other post, I LOVE Face Shop stuff. Their almond cuticle cream...divine. They have really good quality stuff, surprisingly good quality for the price. I dig their charcoal nose strips. |

There's a shop in Sinchon, right near the bars, that sells various kinds of deodorant. I bought three sticks last time I was there so I'm set. 
They even have sensitive skin brands and "specialty" deodorants. |
