Some By Mi 

Launched in 2016, Some By Mi has created iconic and long-lasting formulas for a variety of skin types and problems. Tired of skincare that didn’t address real-world problems, they created the botanically rich 30 Days Miracle line. Infused with rosemary, papaya, witch hazel and more. It marked the start of Korean beauty’s complex and synergistic blend of herbal extracts to create a soothing user experience and use natural elements to improve skin health. 

For natural, scientifically backed formulas, Some By Mi’s slogan also forms its name; as ‘Something of a Miracle’ containing the Korean word “Mi” for beauty.

Some By Mi FAQs 

Who Founded Some By Mi? 
Some By Mi was founded by two friends (Michelle Kwan and Sarah Choi) who wanted to design a skincare line that gave results. They wanted to create skincare that had been missing in their own life, with natural and effective ingredients that gave real-time results you could see. It’s currently led by CEO Lee Ji Eun, who has raised it to great successes and continues to create innovative new products that sell well in the market. 

Is Some By Mi Good for Acne? 
Their 30 Days Miracle line has led to amazing results for a lot of acne-prone skin (although it’s not for everyone). Their toner is the gentlest, allowing for deep cleansing of pores paired with good hydration. Their 30 Days Serum, however, does have essential oils that can be irritating to some (and actually worsen acne), so take care if you have a sensitivity. Their new Retinol Bakuchiol products are actually some of the best for acne, due to their quick turnover and deep refreshment of skin cells. 

Is Some By Mi Safe for Sensitive Skin? 
Although formulated with natural elements, Some By Mi is designed to treat oily and stubborn marks on skin. This means that some of their products are not suited for sensitive skin and it’s important to be careful with your product choices. Essential oils especially, can be irritating to sensitive skin. Their Snail Truecica line is perfect for hydrating sensitive skin and their gentle Beta Panthenol line is perfect for balancing sensitive, oily skin.
