SKIN1004 vs Garnier

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

SKIN1004 and Garnier are established skincare lines from different origins that offer thoughtfully formulated solutions for daily care. The Korean brand features toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, and masks built around centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to suit combination and sensitive skin, while the French label provides makeup removers, serums, masks, and cleansers harnessing glycerin and salicylic acid to best serve oily and acne-prone skin. Both rely on precise ingredients—such as centella asiatica, glycerin, and salicylic acid—to address concerns like acne, hydration, and uneven tone, yet they differ fundamentally in their sensory textures and targeted approaches.

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