SOME BY MI AHA.BHA.PHA Miracle Cream — Soin Exfoliant Apaisant 30 Jours

This cream concentrates 70.78% ofCentella Asiatica Extract (Centella Asiatica Extract), a key active ingredient in Korean skincare known for soothing inflammation and strengthening the skin barrier. Centella stimulates the natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid and boosts the epidermis's antioxidant defenses.

10,000 ppm ofTea Tree Leaf Water (Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Water) provide targeted antibacterial properties, ideal for limiting breakouts without stripping. Tea tree also regulates skin pH — a factor often overlooked in reactive skin.

The patented 4-Cica complex combines four concentrated Centella derivatives extracted in powder form (madecassoside, madecassic acid, asiaticoside, asiatic acid) for a soothing action focused on irritation.

For exfoliation: Niacinamide (vitamin B3) works synergistically with the trio AHA-BHA-PHA (Citric Acid, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Lactobionic Acid). AHAs smooth the surface, BHAs remove oxidized sebum from pores, while the gentler PHAs hydrate while exfoliating without causing sensitivity.

☀️ Morning routine

1. After your cleanser and toner, take a small amount of cream.
2. Warm the product between your palms to activate the gel-cream texture.
3. Apply to face, neck, and décolleté with light upward massages.
4. Let absorb for 1-2 minutes, then follow with your SPF50+ sunscreen (essential when using exfoliating acids).

🌙 Evening routine

1. After double cleansing and toner/essence, apply a slightly thicker layer than in the morning.
2. Gently pat to encourage absorption without rubbing.
3. If your skin is dry, apply a second layer on tight areas 30 seconds later.
4. During the adjustment phase (first few weeks), limit use to 2-3 nights per week to assess skin tolerance.

This cream is intended for:

• Sensitive skin prone to acne seeking hydration without clogging pores — the non-comedogenic gel-cream texture absorbs quickly without a greasy feel.
• Irritated or reactive skin : the high concentration of Centella + 4-Cica repairs the weakened skin barrier (post-dermatological treatment, harsh climate).
• Combination to oily skin that poorly tolerate rich creams: this treatment provides hydration + gentle exfoliation without overloading the T-zone.
• Fans of light layering — the formula absorbs quickly, allowing you to layer other treatments or makeup without a "mask" effect.

Avoid if: Your routine already includes retinol, pure vitamin C, or other exfoliating acids — risk of over-exfoliation. Very dry or dehydrated skin will prefer a richer occlusive version.

From 7 days : immediate refreshing effect on contact (light menthol sensation from tea tree), visible reduction of diffuse redness and soothing of heated areas.

After 2 weeks : skin texture gradually refines — the combined AHA-BHA-PHA action gently removes dead cells, revealing a clearer and more even complexion. Pores appear tightened.

After 30 days (brand promise "30 Days Miracle"): noticeable fading of post-acne marks and improvement in overall texture. The skin barrier, strengthened by 4-Cica and the ceramides present, better withstands daily aggressions.

Long-term results : regular use maintains sebum balance, limits the appearance of new pimples, and preserves a clear and resilient complexion. No medical claims — this care supports skin balance, it does not treat severe acne (consult a dermatologist if needed).

Can I use this cream morning and night from the start?

It's better to start with 2-3 applications per week in the evening, then gradually increase according to tolerance. Exfoliating acids, even mild ones, require an adjustment phase to avoid peeling or stinging.

Is the cream suitable for very dry skin?

Its light gel-cream texture properly hydrates normal to combination skin, but very dry skin will benefit from layering it with a richer cream or a vegetable oil as the last step, especially in winter.

What is the difference with the serum from the same Miracle range?

The AHA.BHA.PHA 30 Days Miracle serum contains a higher concentration of exfoliating acids and penetrates more deeply. The cream focuses on hydration + moderate exfoliation + barrier repair. You can combine them (serum then cream) or alternate depending on your skin’s needs.

How long does a 60g jar last?

With daily use morning and night (a hazelnut-sized amount per application), expect about 2.5 to 3 months. If you use it alternately or only at night, the jar will easily last 4-5 months.

Why did my skin "purge" during the first two weeks?

BHAs dislodge impurities trapped beneath the surface — this is a classic purging phenomenon. If pimples persist beyond 3 weeks or worsen (unusual areas, painful inflammation), it may be a reaction: stop and consult.

Is the menthol scent irritating?

The cream contains peppermint essential oil (Mentha Piperita Oil), responsible for this characteristic freshness. Some very reactive skin types may find it stimulating. Do a patch test on your forearm 24 hours before applying to your face if you are sensitive to essential oils.

Founded in 2018, SOME BY MI (short for "Something By a Miracle") has established itself as a K-beauty reference thanks to its philosophy: clean, effective formulas without empty promises. The name includes the Korean word "mi" meaning "beauty", and all products are made in South Korea.

The brand exploded internationally with its AHA.BHA.PHA 30 Days Miraclerange, which became iconic for its ability to treat acne, texture, and sensitivity without irritation. The Miracle toner sells every three seconds worldwide — a figure that reflects consumers' trust.

SOME BY MI focuses on complete transparency in ingredients (no parabens, sulfates, artificial dyes), strict dermatological testing, and the combination of traditional botanical ingredients (Centella, tea tree) with modern cosmetic science (next-generation exfoliating acids, peptides).

The brand embodies this new wave of K-beauty: less flashy packaging, more measurable clinical results, and formula honesty. An approach that appeals equally to beginners and demanding skincare addicts.
