Skin 1004 is one of the most trusted Korean skincare brands at GlowCare and one that frequently surprises new customers with how much it delivers at its price point. The brand is best known globally for the Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule, a product that has accumulated an enormous following on sensitive and acne-prone skin types worldwide, but the range extends well beyond its hero ampoule to cover sunscreen, toner, moisturiser, and full routine formulas built around the same Centella-forward philosophy. This guide covers every Skin 1004 product at GlowCare, what each does best, and how to build a routine around the brand.
Skin 1004's Brand Philosophy
Skin 1004 is built around two primary commitments: high-concentration hero ingredients at accessible prices, and formulations specifically suited to sensitive, reactive, and acne-prone skin. Madagascar Centella Asiatica, sourced from Madagascar where the climate produces particularly high Asiaticoside concentrations, is the brand's anchor ingredient. It appears across the ampoule, foam, toner, and moisturiser lines. The brand's newer ranges incorporate Hyaluronic Acid, PDRN, and SPF technology at concentrations that compete with brands positioned at significantly higher price points.
The name "1004" refers to the Korean pronunciation of the word "angel" (chunsa), reflecting the brand's positioning around gentle, skin-friendly formulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Skin 1004's best product?
The Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule and the Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++ are the two most repurchased Skin 1004 products at GlowCare. The ampoule for its versatility and efficacy on sensitive and acne-prone skin; the sun serum for being the most comfortable, wearable SPF50+ PA++++ formula for oily skin in Pakistan's heat.
Is Skin 1004 good for acne-prone skin?
Yes. The Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule addresses three key acne-prone skin needs simultaneously: calming active inflammation, supporting barrier repair, and providing gentle antibacterial benefit through Centella's inherent antimicrobial properties. The Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum is also non-comedogenic, making SPF application viable for acne-prone skin that typically avoids heavy sunscreen textures.
Can Skin 1004 Centella Ampoule be used as a moisturiser?
Yes, for oily skin in warm weather. The ampoule has a gel-like texture that provides sufficient barrier support for oily skin in summer as a final step before SPF. For dry skin or in winter conditions, use it as an essence step before a dedicated Ceramide moisturiser.
