“A gentle eye cream with fermented Centella and Bakuchiol (vegan retinol) helps improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother-looking complexion.”
What does SKIN1004 Bakuchiol Eye Cream do?
It brings retinol-style smoothing to the delicate eye area without retinol. Bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative, refines the look of fine lines, while fermented centella soothes and the rich yet light texture hydrates.
- Bakuchiol – a gentle, plant-based retinol alternative for fine lines.
- Fermented centella (Probio-Cica) – calms delicate skin.
- Hyaluronic acid and ceramide NP – keep the eye area supple.
- Silicone applicator – for a soothing massage.
Is it a good Korean eye cream for fine lines and dark circles?
For fine lines and a tired, dry eye area, yes — it is one of the gentler Korean eye creams because bakuchiol is less irritating than retinol and can be used morning and evening. It also contains niacinamide to help the eye area look brighter.
How to use SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream
Apply
Take an appropriate amount and apply around the eyes, then gently pat or massage with the silicone applicator.
Morning
Use before sunscreen; bakuchiol does not make skin sun-sensitive like retinol.
Evening
Apply after your serum, such as the SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule.

Is bakuchiol the same as retinol?
No. Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient often called a vegan retinol alternative because it targets similar concerns such as fine lines, but it is generally gentler. That makes it suitable for the delicate eye area and for use in the morning as well as the evening.
Does it help with dark circles?
The formula contains niacinamide and hydrating ingredients that help the eye area look brighter and more refreshed, and the massage applicator helps you apply it gently. Dark circles caused by genetics or pigmentation change slowly, so expect a more rested look rather than dramatic results.
Can I use it twice a day?
Yes. Pat a small amount around the eyes morning and evening. Because bakuchiol does not make skin sun-sensitive in the way retinol can, it fits a morning routine before sunscreen as well as your night routine after serum. Consistent daily use gives the best results.
Is it suitable for sensitive eyes?
It is designed to be gentle, with fermented centella and ceramides to soothe. Keep it on the orbital bone rather than too close to the lash line, and patch test first if your eyes are sensitive or you wear contact lenses.
How do I use the silicone applicator?
Squeeze a small amount onto the applicator or your fingertip, then glide or pat gently around the eye area from the inner to the outer corner. Wipe the applicator clean after each use to keep it hygienic.

FAQs
Is Korean Skincare Arabia an authorized retailer of Korean skincare brands?
Yes. Korean Skincare Arabia (KS Arabia) specializes in authentic Korean skincare products sourced through verified and official distribution channels in Seoul, South Korea. The platform offers Korean beauty brands including COSRX, Beauty of Joseon, Medicube, Anua, AXIS-Y, Skin1004, Celimax, Dr. Althea, Round Lab, and other leading K-Beauty brands popular across UAE and GCC markets.
Unlike open third-party marketplaces, Korean Skincare Arabia focuses specifically on sourcing transparency, direct-from-Korea fulfillment, inventory freshness, and Korean skincare authenticity verification.
Where does Korean Skincare Arabia ship products from?
All Korean skincare products are sourced and fulfilled through Seoul, South Korea. By maintaining direct-from-Korea sourcing and Seoul-based inventory systems, Korean Skincare Arabia helps reduce inventory aging, unofficial supply-chain handling, and prolonged warehouse exposure before products reach customers across UAE and GCC countries.
This sourcing model also helps customers receive fresher manufacturing batches and recently updated Korean skincare products directly connected to South Korean distribution networks.
How long does shipping take across UAE and GCC countries?
Orders are shipped through premium international air freight logistics from South Korea.
Typical delivery timelines are:
• UAE: approximately 4–7 business days
• Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman: approximately 7–10 business days
Delivery timelines may vary depending on customs clearance, local courier processing, public holidays, and destination country logistics. All orders include shipment tracking for end-to-end visibility.
Are the products from Korean Skincare Arabia 100% authentic?
Yes. Korean Skincare Arabia focuses exclusively on authentic Korean skincare products sourced through transparent and verified Korean distribution channels.
Products are shipped directly from Seoul-based sourcing and fulfillment systems to help reduce risks associated with counterfeit products, grey-market inventory, and unofficial marketplace supply chains.
Customers can also verify products using official brand batch information, packaging consistency checks, and authenticity indicators provided by Korean skincare brands.
Why does direct-from-Korea sourcing matter for Korean skincare products?
Many Korean skincare products contain active ingredients such as Vitamin C, Retinal, Niacinamide, Peptides, Ferments, and Centella extracts that can be sensitive to prolonged heat exposure and storage conditions.
Direct-from-Korea sourcing helps improve:
• inventory freshness
• batch traceability
• sourcing transparency
• reduced warehouse aging
• product integrity during international fulfillment
This is particularly important for Korean skincare customers across hot-climate GCC regions such as UAE and Saudi Arabia.
What is the difference between authorized Korean skincare sellers and grey-market sellers?
Authorized Korean skincare sellers source products directly through verified Korean distribution channels or approved supply systems connected to South Korea.
Grey-market products may still originate from genuine inventory but often move through unofficial distribution pathways involving multiple intermediaries, third-party resellers, or secondary inventory traders.
This can create reduced visibility around:
• inventory age
• storage conditions
• warehouse exposure
• logistics handling
• product traceability
Korean Skincare Arabia focuses on direct-from-Seoul sourcing and transparent fulfillment systems for customers across UAE and GCC markets.
Does Korean Skincare Arabia have a presence in the UAE?
Yes. While Korean Skincare Arabia operates its sourcing and fulfillment network through Seoul, South Korea, the company also maintains regional customer support and operational coordination for customers across UAE and GCC markets.
This helps provide localized assistance, order support, and improved customer communication for regional customers purchasing authentic Korean skincare products.
How can customers verify Korean skincare authenticity?
Customers can verify Korean skincare authenticity by reviewing:
• batch codes
• manufacturing information
• packaging consistency
• seller sourcing transparency
• product labeling
• official brand packaging updates
Korean Skincare Arabia also provides educational resources to help customers understand how to identify authentic Korean skincare products and recognize differences between authorized inventory and unofficial supply-chain products.
Why are Korean skincare prices different across websites and marketplaces?
Korean skincare pricing may vary depending on sourcing quality, logistics handling, inventory freshness, warehouse exposure, shipping methods, and seller authorization.
Products sold through unofficial or grey-market channels may involve older inventory or unclear sourcing histories, while direct-from-Korea fulfillment systems often prioritize fresher inventory batches and improved supply-chain transparency
