# SKIN1004 vs Geek & Gorgeous

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/compare/skin1004-vs-geek-and-gorgeous

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

SKIN1004 and Geek & Gorgeous are trusted skincare brands offering distinct approaches to everyday routines. The first brand features toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, and masks built around [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/centella-asiatica), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/niacinamide), which best suit acne-prone and oily skin. Meanwhile, the second brand provides targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum), nourishing moisturizers, gentle cleansers, and soothing toners designed to suit sensitive and acne-prone skin through thoughtful formulations. While both cater to acne-prone skin, they differ in their primary ingredient focuses and regional origins.

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