# The Ordinary vs Some By Mi

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/the-ordinary-vs-some-by-mi

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United Arab Emirates.

The Ordinary and Some By Mi are skincare brands founded in 2016 and acquired in 2021 by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. and JKL Partners, respectively. The Canadian brand centers its [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, and toners on [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin), and squalane, while the Korean brand builds its cleansers, serums, toners, and moisturizers around [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/niacinamide), [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/centella-asiatica), and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/salicylic-acid). Both brands suit sensitive skin well, with the former also fitting combination skin and the latter dry sensitive skin. They differ primarily in their targeted treatments and foundational ingredients, offering distinct paths to addressing acne, dark spots, and mature skin.

The Ordinary is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
