# COSRX vs Some By Mi

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/cosrx-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 Italy.

COSRX and Some By Mi are popular Korean skincare brands that offer [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, masks, and toners formulated with proven ingredients like [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/niacinamide), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycerin), [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/centella-asiatica), and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/salicylic-acid). The first brand suits acne-prone skin and oily acne-prone skin best through targeted formulations that address specific blemishes effectively, while Some By Mi fits skin with dark spots and dry sensitive skin best. Both brands differ primarily in their founding years, ownership, and the specific combinations of key ingredients they utilize to benefit the complexion remarkably.

COSRX is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2013 and owned by Amorepacific Group since 2024.
