# SKIN1004 vs Paula's Choice

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/skin1004-vs-paula-s-choice

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United Arab Emirates.

SKIN1004 and Paula's Choice are two distinct skincare lines known for formulating reliable daily essentials with targeted actives. SKIN1004 offers toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, and masks featuring [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/centella-asiatica), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/niacinamide), whereas the American brand centers on [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), cleansers, moisturizers, and toners built around hyaluronic acid, [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin), and [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/vitamin-c). Both options suit combination and oily skin types well, though they differ in origin, founding eras, and signature ingredient profiles.

SKIN1004 is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2012 and owned by Goodai Global Inc. since 2024.
