About SKIN1004
SKIN1004 is a Korean skincare brand with a simple idea tucked inside its name: read the numbers 1004 aloud in Korean and they sound like the word for angel, so the label reads as a kind of guardian angel for your skin. That gentleness is more than branding. The entire range is built around a single hero botanical, Centella Asiatica, which the brand sources from Madagascar, where the plant grows especially rich in the soothing triterpene compounds, madecassoside and asiaticoside, that calm the look of stressed, reactive skin. Rather than chase every trend, SKIN1004 keeps its formulas focused and its ingredient lists short.
The catalog fans out from that Centella base into focused sub-lines. The Madagascar Centella collection is the core, spanning ampoules, toners, lightweight serums, creams, soothing pads, and gentle cleansers, so you can carry the same calming ingredient through every step. From there the range specializes: Poremizing targets visible pores and shine, Tone Brightening leans on brightening actives for a more even-looking complexion, Hyalu-Cica pairs hyaluronic acid with cica for lasting hydration, and Probio-Cica adds probiotic-derived ingredients aimed at a comfortable, resilient-feeling barrier. The Air-Fit sunscreens round things out with a featherlight, everyday finish.
What SKIN1004 Is Known For
If one product defines the brand, it is the Madagascar Centella Ampoule: a minimalist, almost single-ingredient formula of concentrated Centella Asiatica extract that people reach for when skin feels hot, tight, or generally overwhelmed. It layers easily under other steps and plays well with strong actives, which is why it has become a staple for sensitive and easily reddened skin. The texture is watery and fast-sinking, so it suits oily and combination skin as readily as dry.
The brand also earns its place with everyday problem-solving. Because Centella helps soothe the look of irritation, the range is a frequent pick for blemish-prone skin that reacts badly to harsher treatments, while the Poremizing and Probio-Cica lines give oilier or barrier-stressed skin a gentler route to clearer, calmer-looking days. One honest note: none of it replaces sun protection, so an Air-Fit SPF worn every morning is what safeguards all that careful work.

What is SKIN1004 best known for?
SKIN1004 is best known for its Madagascar Centella Ampoule, a near single-ingredient formula of Centella Asiatica extract sourced from Madagascar. It set the template for the whole brand: soothing, minimalist products that calm the look of stressed skin without a long ingredient list.
How do I choose between the SKIN1004 lines?
Start with your main concern. The Madagascar Centella line is the all-rounder for calm, comfortable skin; Poremizing targets visible pores and shine; Tone Brightening focuses on a more even, radiant-looking tone; Hyalu-Cica is for deep hydration; and Probio-Cica supports the feel of a resilient barrier. Most people build a routine from two or three of these.
How do I use the Madagascar Centella Ampoule?
After cleansing and toner, pat a few drops over the face, then follow with moisturizer and, in the morning, sunscreen. It is gentle enough for twice-daily use and layers well under or between stronger actives on days when skin needs extra soothing.
Is SKIN1004 good for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
It is one of the more popular choices for both. Centella is prized for helping calm the look of redness and irritation, and the lightweight, watery textures tend to sit well on reactive, blemish-prone, and combination skin. As with any new product, patch test first if your skin is very sensitive.
