# SKIN1004 vs The INKEY List

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/skin1004-vs-the-inkey-list

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

SKIN1004 and The INKEY List are distinct skincare brands designed to address diverse complexions with targeted formulations. The Korean house focuses on [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/centella-asiatica), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/niacinamide) through toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, and masks that suit oily and combination skin best. Conversely, the British house centers its moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), toners, and eye products around [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin) to accommodate combination and sensitive skin. While both collections feature specific standouts for acne-prone, dark spot, and mature concerns, they differ fundamentally in their signature botanicals, foundational humectants, and regional origins.

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