What balms and cosmetics to buy in Vietnam?

From Vietnam, it is definitely worth bringing Cobratoxan ointment, which contains cobra venom. This ointment is produced only in Vietnam and is used as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory for sciatica, injuries, joint and ligament inflammation. It costs about 30,000 dong, which is 3 times cheaper than in Russia.

Also popular is the "Golden Star" balm - a well-known remedy for colds, which can be bought here for only 2,000 dong. In stores, you can also find a local production analog of the famous Thai Tiger Balm.

As for cosmetics, Vietnam has a developed production of good quality organic cosmetics at affordable prices. Although the selection of local cosmetic products is not as large as in Thailand, their quality is not inferior, and prices are significantly lower. It is recommended to buy Vietnamese cosmetics in supermarkets and large stores, and it is better not to purchase folk remedies in markets due to the unpredictability of their composition.

In large cities, there are also brand stores of Thai, Korean, and Japanese cosmetics, but prices there are higher than in the home countries of these brands, so it is more advantageous to buy local Vietnamese products.
