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

Some By Mi and MAËLYS are distinct skincare lines, with the South Korean label established in 2016 and acquired by JKL Partners in 2021 focusing on serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers built around niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid, while the latter is loved for targeted serums and advanced formulas. The Korean brand fits dry skin and skin with dark spots best, utilizing niacinamide to decrease hyperpigmentation and improve signs of skin aging alongside salicylic acid to reduce acne lesions and maintain skin clarity, whereas its counterpart suits all skin types best. These specialized solutions differ as the first relies on natural and active ingredients for gentle daily care, while the second delivers thoughtful care through targeted body and facial treatments.

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