Some By Mi vs A+

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

Some By Mi and A+ are skincare brands that offer distinct approaches to daily care, with the former founded in South Korea in 2016 and the latter established in India in 1990. Some By Mi provides serums, cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and more, built around niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid, whereas A+ is widely beloved for its gentle moisturizers and thoughtfully calibrated formulas. The Korean brand fits skin with dark spots and dry sensitive skin best, while the Indian brand suits sensitive skin best because of its mild composition. They differ primarily in their core active ingredients and targeted concerns, as the former relies on targeted acids and vitamins for blemishes and aging signs, while the latter reliably supports daily moisture balance.

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