Some By Mi vs Sand & Sky

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

Some By Mi and Sand & Sky are skincare brands that offer distinct solutions for varied complexions. The Korean brand features serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers built around niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid, fitting dry sensitive skin and dark spots best. Conversely, Sand & Sky is beloved for its purifying masks and targeted botanical formulas that suit combination, oily, and acne-prone skin. While both address blemishes, they differ as the former relies on clinical actives for hyperpigmentation and aging, whereas the latter uses Australian pink clay to gently clarify.

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