# SKIN1004 vs Simple

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/skin1004-vs-simple

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

SKIN1004 and Simple are established skincare brands offering gentle daily care for various complexion needs. The Korean brand, founded in 2012, is known for its soothing toners, comforting moisturizers, reliable sunscreens, and nourishing masks formulated with pure [centella](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/centella-asiatica), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/niacinamide), which suit sensitive and acne-prone skin best. Conversely, the British brand, founded in 1960, is beloved for its gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners incorporating niacinamide and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycerin) to support acne-prone and mature skin. While both incorporate niacinamide to reduce hyperpigmentation and aging signs, the former utilizes centella and hyaluronic acid for targeted hydration and irritation relief, whereas the latter relies on glycerin to improve barrier function.

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

## About the Lovi Fit

Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.

Lovi trains its fit score models on a proprietary dataset built from more than 10,000 expert-labeled products and more than 100,000 simulated examples, following an internally consistent methodology presented at Cosmoprof, AMWC, and Skin of Color Update. Levels from best to worst: Superior, High, Average, Low, Caution, Warning.
