Skin1004 has become a K-beauty favourite for soothing, hydrating and targeted skincare. But with Madagascar Centella, Hyalu-Cica, Tea-Trica, Poremizing, Tone Brightening and Probio-Cica to choose from, where do you start?

This guide breaks down the main Skin1004 ranges, their standout products and which formulas suit different skin types and concerns.

Skin1004 is a South Korean skincare brand best known for using Centella Asiatica sourced from Madagascar. Often called Cica, Centella appears throughout its ranges alongside ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, BHA and Ceramides.

Rather than one range targeting everything, Skin1004 offers collections for concerns including sensitivity, dehydration, blemishes, visible pores and uneven-looking skin tone.

The Tone Brightening range pairs Centella with ingredients including Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid.

Try the Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule and Capsule Cream.

Probio-Cica: Best For Barrier Support

Probio-Cica is the richer side of Skin1004, pairing fermented Centella with barrier-supporting ingredients.

The Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule adds hydration, while the Probio-Cica Enrich Cream offers a richer moisturising step.

Choose it if: your skin feels dry, tight or stressed.

Dry Skin

Choose Hyalu-Cica for lightweight hydration or Probio-Cica if your skin needs richer moisture and barrier support.

Oily Or Blemish-Prone Skin

Choose Tea-Trica if blemishes and congestion are your main concerns, or Poremizing for visible pores and excess oil.

You can also mix products from both ranges.

Combination Skin

Combination skin suits a mix-and-match routine. Try Poremizing on oilier areas and lightweight Hyalu-Cica formulas where your skin needs more hydration.

Sensitive Skin

Start with Madagascar Centella. The Madagascar Centella Ampoule is one of the simplest options in the range.

Dull Or Uneven-Looking Skin

Choose Tone Brightening, particularly the Capsule Ampoule and Capsule Cream.

Skin1004 sits at an accessible price point compared with many premium skincare brands, making it an easy introduction to K-beauty. Many full-size products at Justmylook fall around the £10-£20 mark, although prices vary depending on size and current offers. You also do not need to replace your whole routine. Start with one product that targets your biggest concern and build from there.

Yes. You do not need to stick to one collection.

Some easy pairings include:

• Dry + sensitive: Madagascar Centella + Hyalu-Cica
• Oily + blemish-prone: Tea-Trica + Poremizing
• Sensitive + dull: Madagascar Centella + Tone Brightening
• Dry + stressed: Hyalu-Cica + Probio-Cica

Introduce exfoliating ingredients such as BHA or PHA gradually rather than adding several new actives at once.

Layer products from lighter to richer textures.

Morning:
 Cleanser → Toner → Ampoule or Serum → Moisturiser → SPF

Evening:
 Cleansing Oil → Cleanser → Toner → Ampoule or Serum → Moisturiser
