Editorial verdict

The Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner is a comprehensive exfoliating toner designed to target multiple skin concerns, particularly acne, uneven texture, and dullness. Its formulation expertly combines a trio of chemical exfoliants, AHA, BHA, and PHA, alongside soothing ingredients like tea tree leaf water and Centella Asiatica extract. This blend aims to gently resurface the skin, unclog pores, and calm inflammation, promoting clearer and smoother skin. While the inclusion of hydrating elements such as hyaluronic acid helps mitigate potential dryness from exfoliation, the presence of numerous essential oils and their derived fragrance components suggests this product might be best suited for those without a history of sensitivity to such ingredients. Individuals with resilient, acne-prone, or congested skin seeking a multi-functional exfoliant with concurrent soothing benefits will likely find this toner appealing, provided they patch test to ensure compatibility.

The good

Multi-acid exfoliation

The toner contains AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), BHA (beta hydroxy acid), and PHA (polyhydroxy acid) to address different aspects of exfoliation, targeting surface texture, pore congestion, and gentle cell turnover respectively. Lactic acid and gluconolactone are present as PHAs, while salicylic acid from willow bark extract functions as a BHA, and sugarcane extract as an AHA.

Soothing and calming ingredients

Formulated with a high concentration of Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water and Centella Asiatica Extract, the toner helps to soothe irritated skin and reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for acne-prone skin.

Hydration support

Ingredients like glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid are included to provide hydration to the skin, helping to balance the exfoliating effects and prevent dryness.

Brightening and antioxidant benefits

Niacinamide is present for its potential to improve skin tone, reduce hyperpigmentation, and strengthen the skin barrier, while various plant extracts offer antioxidant protection.

Aims to improve various skin concerns

The formula includes several essential oils such as orange peel oil, grapefruit peel oil, bergamot fruit oil, lavender oil, chamomile flower oil, and rosemary leaf oil, which can be sensitizing for some individuals, particularly those with very sensitive or reactive skin.

Potential for irritation due to active ingredients

Given the presence of three types of exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA) and tea tree oil, there is a possibility of irritation, redness, or dryness, especially when first introducing the product or if used in conjunction with other actives.
