Some By Mi vs KORRES

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

Some By Mi and KORRES are two distinct skincare lines known for thoughtful formulations that support clear, calm skin. The Korean brand, founded in 2016 and backed by JKL Partners, offers serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers built around niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid, fitting sensitive skin, dark spots, and acne-prone skin best. Meanwhile, the second line is warmly loved for nourishing moisturizers and gentle cleansers that also suit sensitive and acne-prone skin through balancing foundations. While both brands care for sensitive skin, Some By Mi focuses on targeted actives like salicylic acid to reduce acne and niacinamide for hyperpigmentation, whereas KORRES relies on balancing elements like Greek yoghurt and Santorini grape for natural complexion harmony.

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