Some By Mi vs Theramid

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

Some By Mi and Theramid are distinct skincare labels offering specialized solutions for diverse complexions. The Korean brand features serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers built around niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid to suit dry skin and dark spots. Meanwhile, the Spanish brand relies on meticulously engineered formulas in advanced moisturizers and targeted serums that suit balanced, dry, combination, oily, and sensitive skin best. While both cater to varied concerns like acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation, they differ through the former's accessible multi-step approach and the latter's precision-driven treatments.

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