# Some By Mi vs Simple

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/some-by-mi-vs-simple

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

Some By Mi and Simple are a Korean skincare brand founded in 2016 and a British skincare brand founded in 1960, respectively. Both brands incorporate [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/niacinamide), with the former also utilizing [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/centella-asiatica) and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/salicylic-acid) for its [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), cleansers, toners, and moisturizers, while the latter employs [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin) for its gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners. While the Korean brand suits sensitive skin and skin with dark spots best through ingredients like salicylic acid, the British brand suits oily skin and acne-prone skin best through thoughtful formulation. The two differ as the former relies on salicylic acid to reduce acne lesions and maintain clarity, whereas the latter relies on glycerin to improve skin hydration and barrier function.

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