SKIN1004 vs BYOMA

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

SKIN1004 and BYOMA are distinct skincare brands offering thoughtfully crafted toners, moisturizers, and targeted treatments for varied complexions. The Korean brand centers its formulations on centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to suit combination and dry skin, while the British brand anchors its nourishing cleansers, serums, and mists in a tri-ceramide complex and squalane to serve dry and dry sensitive skin. Both lines differ primarily through their foundational botanical and lipid approaches, with the former brand utilizing centella and niacinamide to refine texture and the latter brand employing ceramides to restore barrier integrity.

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