# SKIN1004 vs Biore

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/compare/skin1004-vs-biore

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

SKIN1004 and Biore are Asian beauty mainstays that offer thoughtfully formulated sunscreens, cleansers, masks, and treatments. The Korean brand centers its toners, moisturizers, and other offerings on [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/centella-asiatica), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/niacinamide), suiting combination and oily skin best, while the Japanese brand relies on gentle, clarifying formulations of sunscreens, makeup removers, and cleansers that cater to sensitive and oily skin. Although both ranges support a balanced and refreshed complexion, they differ through distinct ingredient philosophies and targeted product strengths for specific skin concerns.

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