Perfect serum, expensive cream... but what’s the use if the basics are missing? The alpha and omega of Korean skincare is flawless facial cleansing. No matter how good the active ingredients are, if your skin isn’t clean, they won’t absorb properly. But which SKIN1004 Centella cleanser suits your skin type best? In this article, we’ll help you navigate the brand’s popular cleansing products to find the perfect everyday companion for your skin. 🌿
🌸 Why choose SKIN1004 Centella cleanser?
The SKIN1004 brand is synonymous with “clean ingredients” in the world of Korean cosmetics. Their philosophy is simple but great: formulas based on skin-friendly, natural active ingredients help restore the skin’s balance—without unnecessary irritation.
The brand’s most well-known ingredient is Madagascar Centella Asiatica—this plant, also known as gotu kola, is famous for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and regenerating effects on the skin.
Every SKIN1004 facial cleanser is based on this principle:
- cleans gently but effectively,
- does not dry out the skin,
- and supports the skin’s protective barrier.
💧 SKIN1004 Centella cleanser for oily and combination skin → Centella Ampoule Foam
If your skin easily turns red, is irritated, but tends to be oily, then the SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule Foam will be your gentle savior. This cleanser transforms from a thick cream into a rich foam and contains 33% of the brand’s iconic Centella ampoule! With its skin-friendly pH, it cleanses gently without disrupting the skin’s protective barrier.
Main active ingredients:
- Centella Asiatica extract (33%) – Intensely soothes the skin and reduces redness.
- Surfactants derived from coconut – Gently remove impurities.
- Baking soda – Helps with deeper pore cleansing, but gently.
💚Why do we love it? Because it’s the perfect balance between effective cleansing and maximum gentleness. An ideal choice for sensitive, combination skin that can’t tolerate strong acids.
🌿 SKIN1004 Centella cleanser for acne-prone, blemished skin → SKIN1004 Tea-Trica BHA Foam
If you struggle with active pimples, inflammation, and blackheads, you should definitely consider the SKIN1004 Tea-Trica BHA Foam. This cleanser is a targeted “problem solver.” Its BHA (salicylic acid) content helps dissolve trapped sebum and dead skin cells in the pores, while the tea tree complex effectively fights acne-causing bacteria.
Main active ingredients:
- Tea-Trica Complex – Contains tea tree water and oil, as well as Centella, for anti-inflammatory effects.
- BHA (Salicylic Acid) – An oil-soluble acid that exfoliates and cleans deep inside pores.
- Cacao extract – Helps keep the skin hydrated, preventing tightness after cleansing.
💚Why do we love it? Because it’s a true pimple hunter. Regular use helps keep pores clear and prevents new inflammations from forming.
🌸 SKIN1004 Centella cleanser for oily, large-pored skin → SKIN1004 Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam
If your main issues are a constantly shiny face, large pores, and stubborn blackheads, then the SKIN1004 Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam will be your “vacuum cleaner.” This cleanser works with pink Himalayan salt and kaolin clay. These ingredients act like magnets, attracting excess oil and impurities accumulated in the pores, providing immediate mattifying and pore-cleansing effects.
Main active ingredients:
- Himalayan Pink Salt – Rich in minerals, deeply cleanses pores.
- Kaolin Clay – Absorbs excess sebum and mattifies the skin.
- Papain – A natural enzyme (from papaya) that gently exfoliates dead skin cells.
💚Why do we love it? Because it leaves the skin “squeaky clean” yet comfortable. It visibly helps keep pores clear and reduces oily shine.
🧴 How to incorporate SKIN1004 cleanser into your routine?
One of the most important principles of Korean skincare is double cleansing, or two-step facial cleansing. 1️⃣ Use an oil-based cleanser (e.g., SKIN1004 Centella Light Cleansing Oil) to remove makeup and sunscreen. 2️⃣ Then use the water-based SKIN1004 cleanser, which deeply cleanses pores and refreshes the skin.
💡 Tip: In the morning, the water-based cleanser alone is enough, but in the evening, it’s worth doing both steps—this way your skin stays clean and receptive to further care.
🌼 Summary – Which SKIN1004 cleanser should you choose?
SKIN1004 proves that cleansing problematic skin can be both effective and gentle.
✔️ For sensitive but oily skin: Centella Ampoule Foam ✔️ For acne-prone, inflamed skin: Tea-Trica BHA Foam ✔️ For extremely oily, large-pored skin: Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam
Each formula helps restore the skin’s natural balance with SKIN1004’s iconic Centella Asiatica extract. Choose the one that targets your main skin concern and enjoy the feeling of clean yet calm skin!
