SKIN1004: Why the Viral “Skin Angel” Belongs in Your Routine
As we get closer to some exciting seasonal holidays, don’t miss October 4th—SKIN1004 Day! SKIN1004 is one of Korea’s most trusted skincare brands, loved for its minimal formulas and powerhouse ingredients. Their products address everyday skin concerns without breaking the bank.
Whether you’re already a fan or just hearing about them for the first time, here’s everything you need to know about SKIN1004 and some exciting October launches!
The Story Behind SKIN1004
Why is SKIN1004 known as the “Skin Angel?” It’s all in the name! The “1004” in the brand name, when spoken in Korean, sounds like the Korean word “cheonsa,” meaning “angel.” This translates well with their mission to provide gentle, nature-driven ingredients and science-backed products. Their effective but accessible skincare has made them a household name.
SKIN1004 Collections for Every Skin Goal
SKIN1004 has created several thoughtful product lines to serve different skin needs. Here are the highlights on a few of our favourite collections:
- Centella Line: SKIN1004’s signature ingredient is Madagascar Centella Asiatica extract, which they’ve used to create a soothing line for sensitive or acne-prone skin. This gentle collection reduces redness while calming irritation. Use with hyaluronic acid for barrier-restoring hydration.
- Tone Brightening Line: This collection focuses on glowing, even skin. Brightening ingredients like niacinamide and tranexamic acid fade dark spots so skin looks radiant. Pair with your favourite vitamin C serum to brighten your skin tone while tackling discolouration.
- Hyaluronic Line: SKIN1004’s Hyalu-Cica line uses the “golden ratio” of hyaluronic acid and cica for irritated, dehydrated skin. The products in this collection are designed to hydrate while feeling smooth and light. Combine with a sealing ceramide cream for extra moisture and a dewy finish.
- Poremizing Line: Himalayan pink salt, centella, and other pore-cleansing ingredients are used in this line to reduce the look of enlarged pores. Use with lightweight, oil-controlling moisturizers for fresh skin throughout the day.
- Probio-Cica Line: Strengthen your skin barrier and support your skin’s natural functions with probiotics, fermented centella, and TECA (a repair-focused extract). Use with ceramides to soothe sensitive skin and gently moisturize.
New Launches: Boosting Shot Ampoules
This October, watch for SKIN1004’s powerful boosting ampoules, designed to give a lift to your existing skincare routine:
- Retinol 0.2 Boosting Shot Ampoule: This blend of retinol, retinal, and Madagascar centella is optimized to absorb deep into your skin, improving elasticity and reducing the look of fine lines. Firms and improves the texture of your skin, making it perfect if you struggle with rough skin and fine wrinkles.
- Matrixyl 10 Boosting Shot Ampoule: Matrixyl (specially derived peptides) fight collagen loss and improve skin elasticity, while hyaluronic acid and panthenol deeply moisturize. This is a great, affordable alternative to pricey anti-aging serums by luxe brands like Drunk Elephant or SkinCeuticals.

“Lightweight, non-sticky, and deeply hydrating. After a few weeks, my skin feels firmer and fine lines are less visible. I recommend!”
