Some By Mi vs Trilogy

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

Some By Mi and Trilogy are skincare brands offering serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers built around thoughtful, high-performing formulas. The first brand utilizes niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid to suit dry skin and skin with dark spots best, whereas the second relies on gentle formulations well-suited for dry, balanced, and sensitive skin types. While both provide targeted solutions for acne-prone, dark-spot, and mature concerns, they differ in their specific ingredient strengths and foundational approaches to skin health.

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