Some By Mi vs Valmont

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

Some By Mi and Valmont represent distinct skincare traditions through their targeted product formulations, with the former originating in Korea in 2016 and the latter established in Switzerland in 1985. The Korean line relies on niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid across its serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers to suit sensitive skin, dark spots, and acne-prone complexions. Conversely, the Swiss brand is widely loved for its luxurious moisturizers and refined formulas that suit mature and dehydrated skin best by delivering lasting comfort and gentle care. While both offer distinct solutions for various concerns, they differ notably in their geographic origins, founding years, signature ingredients, and primary skin-type focuses.

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