SKIN1004

SKIN1004 is a Korean skincare brand built around a single, well-loved ingredient: Centella asiatica sourced from Madagascar. Centella has a long history in skincare as a calming botanical, and SKIN1004 made it the backbone of its range. The result is a collection of simple, lightweight products with a fresh feel, from ampoules and toners to cleansers and sun care. If you like routines with few surprises, the single-ingredient focus makes it easy to see what each product is meant to do.

What SKIN1004 is known for

• Madagascar Centella Ampoule: a light, watery ampoule centred on Centella asiatica extract, designed to help skin feel soothed and comfortable.
• Madagascar Centella Toning Toner: a gentle toner with a light exfoliating feel for smoother-looking skin.
• Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum: a fluid sunscreen pairing hyaluronic acid with centella. SPF ratings and approvals differ by country, so check the label for your market.
• Light Cleansing Oil: a lightweight oil cleanser for the first step of a double cleanse.
• Themed sub-lines such as Poremizing, Tone Brightening and Hyalu-Cica that pair centella with other ingredients for specific goals.

Key ingredients

• Centella asiatica extract from Madagascar, the brand signature
• Centella-derived compounds such as madecassoside in selected formulas
• Hyaluronic acid in the Hyalu-Cica line
• Niacinamide in brightening-focused products
• Mild exfoliating ingredients in the toning and pore-focused products

Who it suits

SKIN1004 is a comfortable choice for sensitive skin and for anyone working on barrier care. The light textures also suit oily and combination skin, and the Poremizing line is designed for the look of pores. Patch test new products, especially exfoliating toners.

How to fit SKIN1004 into your routine

Start the evening with the cleansing oil, follow with a gentle foam or gel cleanser, then use the toner and ampoule before your moisturizer. In the morning, the ampoule can be followed directly by moisturizer and sunscreen. Because the ampoule is so light, it layers easily under other serums.
