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

Some By Mi and Valmont are distinct skincare lines, with the former being a Korean brand founded in 2016 and the latter a Swiss brand established in 1985. Some By Mi relies on serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers built around niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid to suit dry skin and dry sensitive skin best, while Valmont is widely loved for its luxurious moisturizers and refined formulas that suit mature and dehydrated skin best. Both differ primarily in their origins and target complexions, as the Korean brand harnesses key ingredients like niacinamide to decrease hyperpigmentation and salicylic acid to reduce acne lesions, whereas the Swiss brand focuses on delivering lasting comfort and gentle care to the complexion.
