Description
Not just a promise, but clearly formulated chemistry. AHA, BHA, and PHA work here as a coordinated complex, supported by calming and barrier-strengthening ingredients. SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum stands out for its balanced, mildly acidic pH, ensuring exfoliation occurs purposefully and without excessive irritation. The name hints at “results over time,” rather than an instant trick: daily, consistent care, grounded in true mechanisms.
How it works: AHA (e.g., glycolic or lactic acid) loosens corneodesmosomes – the network of protein “clasps” that hold the cells of the stratum corneum together. BHA (salicylic acid) is lipophilic: it penetrates pores, dissolves sebum plugs, and reduces comedone formation. PHA (e.g., gluconolactone), thanks to its larger molecule, acts on the surface while attracting water and providing antioxidant potential. This combination simultaneously smooths texture, brightens tone, and gently regulates cell turnover.
The calming framework is just as important. Centella asiatica extracts with asiaticoside, madecassoside, and related triterpenoids help modulate inflammatory mediators and support epidermal repair. Tea tree components, containing terpinen-4-ol, provide an antimicrobial boost without harshness. Niacinamide helps balance pigment irregularities and reinforces the barrier by increasing ceramide synthesis. Adenosine targets fine lines, while panthenol and sodium hyaluronate provide a long-lasting moisture reservoir.
Texture – light and biphasic. The water phase delivers humectants and acids, while the thin oil phase with tea tree-derived materials helps reduce reactivity and balance lipids. No heaviness. No stickiness. The result is smoother, visibly calmer skin, fewer blockages, and a clearer, more balanced tone that appears natural, without excess shine.
- Synergistic exfoliation: The AHA/BHA/PHA combination targets both the surface and pores: less roughness, fewer comedones.
- Barrier respect: Mildly acidic pH and hydrating features of polyhydroxy acids reduce the risk of irritation.
- Calming and recovery: Centella asiatica triterpenoids and panthenol soothe redness and ease discomfort.
- Microbiological hygiene: Tea tree actives help limit bacteria that promote skin imperfections.
- Tone and elasticity balance: Niacinamide and adenosine contribute to brightness and suppleness.
- For the discerning audience: a transparent, targeted formula free from excess fragrances and unnecessary burdens in daily routines.
The philosophy of SOME BY MI in this serum iteration is clear: less noise, more molecule-based choices. Consistently applied chemistry, visible in texture, felt in comfort, and discernible in the mirror after a few weeks of use.

Usage
Shake SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum well before use to mix the layers. Apply 2–3 drops onto clean, toner-moistened skin, distribute evenly over the face and neck avoiding the eye and lip areas, and gently pat until absorbed. Wait 1–2 minutes and finish with a moisturizer. Use in the morning and/or evening; for sensitive skin, start with 2–3 times a week and gradually increase to daily use if tolerated. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF during the day. Do not layer with other strong exfoliants, retinoids, or potent vitamin C formulas. Do not use on irritated or damaged skin; discontinue use if severe irritation occurs.
