Some By Mi vs Hanhoo

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

Some By Mi and Hanhoo are accessible skincare brands offering dedicated routines for everyday use. The South Korean brand relies on niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid across its serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers to suit dry sensitive, dry, and mature skin. Meanwhile, the other brand is widely loved for its targeted serums and carefully balanced formulas, such as its popular blemish and pore patches, which suit sensitive, dry, and combination skin best. While both cater thoughtfully to various complexions, they differ through the first brand's emphasis on chemical exfoliants and multi-step regimens versus the second brand's focus on specialized topical patches.

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