Skin1004 has earned a loyal following for its no-fuss approach to skin that flares, reacts, or simply feels fragile. Every formula is designed with sensitivity in mind - lightweight, plant-led, and easy to layer into an existing routine without disruption.
A Brand Built on Calm
What makes Skin1004 stand out is its focus on one thing done well. The brand was founded in South Korea with a singular commitment to centella asiatica - a plant long associated with soothing and restoring unsettled skin. Rather than building elaborate, multi-step systems, Skin1004 keeps its ingredient lists clean and its formulas purposeful. Each product is designed to do its job without overwhelming the skin. That restraint is deliberate. The brand believes that less is often more, particularly for skin that has been pushed too far by over-complicated routines.
- Plant-led, minimal ingredient lists
- Centella asiatica as the core active
- Clean formulas without unnecessary additions
- Gentle enough for daily use
The Products That Define the Brand
The Madagascar Centella range is where most people begin. The Ampoule is the hero - a lightweight, cooling serum that delivers a concentrated dose of centella to skin that feels hot, tight, or reactive. The Hyalu-Cica range takes things further by pairing centella with hyaluronic acid, giving the skin both calm and hydration in the same step. The Centella Toning Toner preps the skin gently before the rest of the routine, and the Air-Fit Suncream offers protection without the heavy residue that can unsettle sensitive skin types.

- Air-Fit Suncream for daily protection
Who Benefits Most
Skin1004 was built with reactive skin at its centre, and that shows in how the products perform across different skin types.
Sensitive and reactive skin
If your skin tends to flush, sting, or flare with new products, Skin1004's minimal-formula approach reduces the chance of irritation. The centella base is naturally soothing, and the brand avoids many of the ingredients that commonly trigger reactions.
Oily and breakout-prone skin
The lightweight, water-based textures sit comfortably on oilier complexions without congesting. The centella also supports skin that is dealing with blemishes, helping it stay calm through a flare.
- Reactive and easily irritated skin
- Skin prone to redness
- Oily skin needing lightweight hydration
- Combination skin needing balance
What the Brand Is Known For
Centella asiatica is the ingredient that defines Skin1004. It is a botanical extract that has been used for centuries across Asia and is now well-regarded in skincare for its ability to soothe inflamed or irritated skin, helping it feel settled and look calmer over time. Skin1004 sources its centella from Madagascar, where the growing conditions are said to produce a particularly potent extract. You will also find niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and cica complex in many formulas - each chosen to support hydration and brightening without aggravating sensitised skin.
- Madagascar-sourced centella asiatica
- Hyaluronic acid for hydration
- Niacinamide to support an even tone
- Cica complex for calming support
