Pinch House’s K-beauty brand onslo builds on Korean momentum with No. 1 ranking on Qoo10 Japan

After surpassing 10 million unit sales in South Korea, onslo placed three products in Qoo10 Japan’s overall Top 10 and is now preparing for broader expansion into North America, Latin America and Europe.

Onslo, the skincare brand developed and operated by Pinch House, is building overseas momentum after ranking No. 1 overall on Qoo10 Japan during the platform’s September Mega Debut campaign.
 
As of Sept. 23, 2026, onslo’s Retinal Smile Line Patch ranked No. 1 overall on Qoo10 Japan. The Retinal Frown Line Patch ranked No. 2, while the PDRN Eye Patch placed No. 5, putting three onslo products in the overall Top 10 at the same time. The momentum continued after the initial ranking: as of Sept. 28, the Retinal Smile Line Patch also held the No. 1 position in Qoo10 Japan’s weekly cosmetics ranking.
 
The Japan push followed onslo’s participation in Qoo10 Japan’s Mega Wari campaign from Aug. 28 to Sept. 9. Less than two weeks later, the brand joined Mega Debut, held from Sept. 22 to Sept. 29. Pinch House used the response from Mega Wari to refine the following campaign rather than treating each promotion as a separate event.
 
Before expanding aggressively overseas, onslo had already established a sizable consumer base in South Korea. The brand surpassed 10 million patches in cumulative sales as of July 9, 2026 and has more than 100,000 registered members. The brand’s portfolio centers on targeted skincare for specific facial concerns, including smile lines, frown lines, under-eye care and dark spots.
 

onslo’s product strategy is built around targeted facial skincare rather than treating the entire face as one zone. The performance of the Smile Line, Frown Line and PDRN Eye patches gave Pinch House a broader signal than a single hero-product success and reinforced the brand’s focus on simple, concern-specific skincare.

“Seeing three different products enter Qoo10 Japan’s Top 10 at the same time was particularly meaningful for us,” a Pinch House spokesperson said. “It suggests that consumers were responding not only to one individual SKU, but to the broader idea behind onslo — simple, targeted skincare for specific facial areas and concerns.”
 
Pinch House said its Japan strategy also went beyond direct translation. The company developed market-specific creative around local consumer behavior and product-use occasions, while using influencer content, campaign-specific creative and Qoo10 live-commerce activities to make each product’s target area and use case easier to understand.
 
Pinch House plans to build on the Japan launch as it prepares the next phase of onslo’s international expansion. The company is preparing market-entry requirements, distribution partnerships and channel strategies for North America and Latin America, while also preparing for Europe in 2027.
