SKIN1004 vs Estée Lauder

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

SKIN1004 and Estée Lauder are two distinct beauty lines offering thoughtful daily regimens for diverse complexions. The Korean label features toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, and masks centered on centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, suiting combination and sensitive skin best. Meanwhile, the American house provides moisturizers, serums, eye products, and cleansers formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which suit acne-prone and mature skin. While both incorporate moisture-boosting science, they differ in their heritage, core botanicals, and ideal skin matches.

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