# SKIN1004 vs Simple

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/skin1004-vs-simple

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 Simple are popular skincare brands that offer gentle solutions for diverse routines. SKIN1004 is a Korean brand known for [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) in toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, and masks that suit combination skin and oily skin best. Simple is a British brand celebrated for niacinamide and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin) in moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners that fit oily skin and acne-prone skin best. While both incorporate niacinamide, the former emphasizes centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid for balanced hydration, whereas the latter focuses on glycerin for barrier support.

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