The Popular Duo Cleansing Balm Goes Viral with Sweet Steady Collaboration

Duo Cleansing Balm: A Sensation on Launch Day

In a remarkable launch event, the collaborative product by Premier Anti-Aging Co., known for their popular aging care brand DUO, saw an instant sell-out of the limited edition "Cleansing Balm Black Repair [SWEET STEADY Limited Design]" on March 13, 2026. This collaboration with the 7-member idol group SWEET STEADY has not only captured the attention of beauty enthusiasts, but it also rapidly became a trending topic on social media platforms like Qoo10 and TikTok Shops.

The Phenomenal Launch

Available exclusively at Don Quijote stores and through the official Qoo10 shop and TikTok shop, the cleansing balm caused a passionate stir in the market. Within just 30 minutes of its release on Qoo10, stock was depleted, and TikTok's shop followed suit by running out of product in merely an hour and twenty minutes. Notably, numerous Don Quijote locations were sold out by the end of the day.

Due to high demand, an additional limited re-release was conducted on March 24, which astonishingly sold out in just one minute. As excitement continues to build, updates can be followed on DUO’s official social media handle X (@duocosme).
