SKIN1004 Tone Balancing Capsule Cream is a K-beauty moisturizer blending centella asiatica (cica) with niacinamide and tranexamic acid for soothing and brightening.

Best suited for sensitive, compromised, or reactive skin seeking multi-tasking hydration and redness reduction. At 75ml (~2.5 oz) for ~$17, it offers solid value.
