# SKIN1004 vs Anua

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/skin1004-vs-anua

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

SKIN1004 and Anua are popular Korean skincare brands that offer gentle, effective daily essentials. SKIN1004 features toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, and masks built around [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/centella-asiatica), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/niacinamide) to suit combination and sensitive skin. Meanwhile, Anua provides moisturizers, toners, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), and cleansers formulated with hyaluronic acid, [heartleaf](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/heartleaf), and niacinamide for dry and oily acne-prone skin. While both rely on key ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, the first brand specializes in soothing centella formulas, and the second focuses heavily on heartleaf and blemish-targeting serums.

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