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

Some By Mi and VR are two distinct skincare lines offering targeted solutions for daily regimens. Some By Mi, founded in 2016 and owned by JKL Partners since 2021, features serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers built around niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid to help reduce dark spots, signs of aging, and acne lesions. Meanwhile, skincare enthusiasts deeply appreciate VR for the sensory pleasure of its moisturizers, the considered design of its formulas, and its PDRN CREAM. While the first brand suits dry sensitive skin, dark spots, acne-prone skin, and mature skin best, the second brand suits combination, sensitive, and dry skin best.
