Some By Mi - AHA, BHA, PHA 30 Days Miracle Cream 60g

Some By Mi’s AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Cream (60 g) is a Korean skincare treatment cream designed primarily for acne‑prone, oily, combination, and sensitive skin types. It combines mild exfoliating acids with calming botanical ingredients to both refine texture and support skin barrier recovery.

This formulation is part of the “Miracle” line from Some By Mi, emphasizing visible improvement in skin over a 30‑day period when used consistently. 

Key Ingredients & Functions

Below is a breakdown of the principal active ingredients and what they contribute:

Additionally, the product is marketed as being free of 20 harmful ingredients (e.g. certain parabens, sulfates, synthetic irritants) to reduce potential irritation risk. 

Texture, Sensory & Finish

• The cream formulation is designed to absorb without leaving a heavy or greasy residue on skin.

• It aims for a non-sticky finish while delivering hydration and active delivery. 

• Because of its acid components, some users may notice a faint tingling or warming sensation initially, particularly if the skin barrier is sensitive. (User reports suggest some purging or mild irritation initially) 

Claims & Promised Benefits

When used consistently (often with the expectation of 30-day improvement), the brand and retailers tout the following effects:

• Improved skin texture & smoothing via exfoliation of dead skin cells (AHA, BHA, PHA) 

• Reduction of clogged pores, blackheads, and acne blemishes through deep pore cleansing by BHA and sebum regulation by botanicals The Skin Maskuerade+4Pharmazone+4Life Pharmacy+4

• Soothing of redness, calming inflammation, barrier repair via high Centella content, ceramides, and other botanical extracts

• Brightening / evening of skin tone through niacinamide and enhanced turnover

• Anti‑aging / wrinkle support via adenosine and improved skin renewal

• Oil / sebum control to help reduce excessive shine while maintaining hydration

Usage & Application Guidelines

To get optimal results and minimize risks:

1. Patch test before first use, especially if you have very sensitive or compromised skin.

2. Use the cream as the final step in your skincare routine (after cleansing, toner, serums) on clean, slightly damp skin.

3. Apply a moderate amount and gently pat until absorbed. Avoid the delicate eye and lip areas. 

4. Daily sunscreen is essential when using products containing acids, because exfoliants increase sun sensitivity.

5. If irritation, stinging, or peeling persists beyond an adjustment period, reduce frequency of use or pause. Some users report a “purging” phase in the early days. 

6. Avoid layering with other strong chemical exfoliants or retinoids on the same night to lower irritation risk.

Potential Limitations & User Feedback

• Some users with sensitive or barrier-compromised skin report experiencing breakouts, stinging, or flaking initially, likely due to the exfoliating acids.

• Because it contains active acids, using too much or too frequently without protective measures (like sunscreen or barrier support) could aggravate irritation.

• Users caution that results may vary: some see visible improvement around the 30-day mark, while others take longer or do not perceive dramatic effects.

• Fragrance or essential oil components (such as peppermint oil) appear in the formula, which could be sensitizing to some.
