Some By Mi vs Valmont

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Some By Mi and Valmont represent distinct traditions in skincare, uniting a 2016 Korean brand known for serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers built around niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid with a 1985 Swiss brand celebrated for luxurious moisturizers and refined formulas. The former suits sensitive, dry sensitive, acne-prone, and mature skin best by decreasing hyperpigmentation, improving aging signs, and reducing acne lesions, while the latter serves mature and dehydrated complexions by delivering lasting comfort and gentle care. These contrasting approaches allow both to address different needs, ranging from the Swiss brand's focus on gentle care to the Korean brand's targeted treatments for dark spots and clarity.

Some By Mi is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by JKL Partners since 2021.
