SKIN1004 vs SkinCeuticals

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

SKIN1004 and SkinCeuticals are distinct skincare brands designed to address diverse complexions with thoughtful formulations. The Korean brand features toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, and masks built around centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide that suit combination and oily skin best. Conversely, the American brand offers targeted serums, nourishing moisturizers, gentle cleansers, and soothing eye products formulated with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and dimethicone that cater best to oily skin and dry sensitive skin. Ultimately, both differ through their unique botanical versus scientifically restorative active ingredients and their distinct founding origins.

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