SKIN1004 vs MAËLYS

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

SKIN1004 and MAËLYS are distinct skincare collections that offer thoughtful daily care. The Korean line from 2012 features toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, masks, and more, built around centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to suit acne-prone and oily skin best. Meanwhile, the second option is loved for targeted serums and advanced formulas that suit all skin types best. While both deliver specialized solutions, the first brand relies on centella asiatica to improve moisture and reduce acne, hyaluronic acid to lengthen the botulinum toxin wrinkle effect, and niacinamide to reduce hyperpigmentation and skin aging.

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