# Some By Mi vs Paula's Choice

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/compare/some-by-mi-vs-paula-s-choice

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

Some By Mi and Paula's Choice are established skincare brands offering [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/serum), cleansers, toners, and moisturizers. The Korean brand relies on [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/niacinamide), [centella asiatica](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/centella-asiatica), and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/salicylic-acid), fitting sensitive skin and skin with dark spots best, whereas the American brand builds its formulas around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/glycerin), and [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/vitamin-c) for oily skin and combination skin. While both feature targeted top-rated products for acne-prone, dark spot, and mature skin, they differ in their foundational ingredients, with the first brand using salicylic acid to reduce acne lesions and the second using glycerin to increase skin hydration and restore barrier function.

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