Purito vs. SKIN1004 Probio-Cica

Both are genuinely built-out centella formulas sharing several of the same supporting actives, at nearly the same price, the real difference is subtler than most comparisons: fermentation versus disclosed concentration and added peptides.

Both pair centella with niacinamide, ceramide NP, and madecassoside at nearly the same price, an unusually close match that makes the remaining, more specific differences worth examining directly.

Purito runs $0.40 per milliliter ($24.00 for 60mL). SKIN1004 Probio-Cica runs $0.48 per milliliter ($24.00 for 50mL). Same sticker price, Purito is somewhat cheaper per mL in a slightly larger bottle.

Purito's recently renewed formula discloses centella at a specific 34,860ppm concentration and adds a new four-palmitoyl-peptide complex on top of niacinamide, ceramide NP, and madecassoside. SKIN1004 Probio-Cica takes a different angle on largely the same supporting-active list: fermented centella specifically, positioned around a microbiome-and-barrier angle rather than a disclosed concentration or added peptides.

These are closer than most comparisons on this site, both are genuinely well-built, ceramide-boosted centella formulas. If a disclosed concentration and an added peptide complex matter to you, Purito's renewed formula edges ahead. If a fermentation-and-microbiome angle is the more compelling positioning, SKIN1004's Probio-Cica is an equally reasonable pick at a similar price.
