Overview
['SKIN1004 is a Korean skincare brand known for its CICA (Centella Asiatica) focused lineup, and this toner, per the listing, combines that with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide in a lotion textured formula. It is specifically labeled for acne prone skin, with Hydrating as its primary Product Benefit.', 'The bottle is listed at 7.10 fl oz (210ml) in the product title, unscented, and priced at $17.49. Niacinamide is the confirmed active ingredient, a common choice for supporting the look of skin tone and texture in acne prone routines.', 'What stands out here is the reported 1,004 units bought in the last month, a notably higher figure than most other toners in this set, alongside a strong 4.6 star average across 296 reviews.']

- Unscented, hydrating formula at a moderate $17.49 price

Performance notes
Niacinamide is the named active ingredient, generally used to support the look of skin tone and a smoother looking texture, which pairs logically with the acne prone skin type label. CICA (Centella Asiatica) is referenced in the product name and is widely used in Korean skincare for its soothing, calming reputation, though it isn't separately listed in the Active Ingredients field here. The Hydrating benefit label and lotion form suggest this is meant to add moisture rather than strip it, which is a common approach for acne prone routines that also need barrier support.
What buyers say
The reported 1,004 units bought in the last month is one of the higher purchase figures in this comparison, and paired with a 4.6 star average across 296 reviews, it points to a product that is actively gaining new buyers who are, on the whole, satisfied.

Frequently asked questions
Is this toner suitable if I have acne prone but also dry skin?
The listing specifically targets acne prone skin and lists Hydrating as its main benefit, which suggests it is designed to add moisture rather than dry skin out further. That combination can work well for acne prone skin that also runs dry or dehydrated.
What does CICA do in a toner like this?
CICA, short for Centella Asiatica, is a plant extract widely used in Korean skincare for its calming, soothing reputation. It is referenced in the product name, though the confirmed active ingredient in the available specs is niacinamide.
