SKIN1004 vs Olay

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

SKIN1004 and Olay are two distinct skincare lines offering targeted solutions for diverse complexions. SKIN1004 specializes in centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide within its toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, and masks to suit combination and oily skin, whereas Olay features niacinamide and glycerin in its moisturizers, eye products, serums, and cleansers to best support sensitive and acne-prone skin. These formulations differ primarily in their botanical versus classic nourishing approaches, providing precise options for hydration, aging, and blemishes.

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