# Some By Mi vs NIVEA

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/some-by-mi-vs-nivea

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

Some By Mi and NIVEA are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to daily complexion care. Founded in South Korea in 2016, the former focuses on [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum), cleansers, toners, and moisturizers featuring [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/niacinamide), [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/centella-asiatica), and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/salicylic-acid) to best suit skin with dark spots, dry sensitive conditions, and acne. Established in Germany in 1911, the latter is known for reliable sunscreens, targeted serums, and nourishing moisturizers built with skin-softening [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycerin) to ideally serve sensitive and mature skin. While both houses address overlapping concerns through different active ingredients, the Korean line centers on targeted corrective acids, whereas the German house emphasizes barrier-supporting hydration and daily protection.

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