HI-REVIEW: Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner

10 comments by Natalie Ong

Hi Beauties! šŸŒø

The Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner has been one ofĀ HIKOCO's bestsellers for a long time and Iā€™ve been using this for almost a year! It claims to change and improve your skin in 30 days, is that true? Well, as a senior MiracleĀ Toner user, I am here to tell you my experience āœØ

Quantity: 150ml

Product Description: ā€œA slightly acidic toner (pH 5.5) that calms the alkalized skin after cleansing improves the pH balance of the skin to prevent trouble and maintain healthy skin.ā€

How to Use: After cleansing, apply the toner on your face (and neck) using cotton pads to complete the cleansing of the skin.

Precautions: Because some of the ingredients in this toner is sun sensitive, you must wear sunscreen during the day!!

Since high school, I have been struggling with sensitive, dry skin AND acne. Although my acne is not as severe as before, I still have scars and occasional break outs. It is incredibly difficult to find toners for acne-prone skin that suits dry skin as well. This toner definitely saved my skin and here is how it worked!

The Miracle Toner contains three main ingredient that helped my skin, and they are AHA, BHA and PHA. These chemical exfoliants helps repair and improve trouble skin, effectively leaving skin feeling clear, calm and happy! AHA removes dead skin cells, while BHA removes sebum from your pores. PHA is similar to AHA, but it also retains the moisture in your skin.

There are also other ingredients included in this toner! There is tea tree that helps with preventing acne, as well as niacinamide that helps with hydration and repairing skinā€™s health. Other than that, there is also witchhazel, papaya, lentil soy seed andĀ lotus extracts. They help calm, soothe any irritations; brighten skin tone; nourish and protect your skin.

The toner is clear that lookā€™s just like water, consistency wise, itā€™s also like wateršŸ’§(donā€™t worry itā€™s not!). It does not have a fancy or floral scent like most toners. Instead, it has a minty, soothing and kind of medicinal clean smell to it. Which I really like! Using this toner, it does not irritate my skin at all. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and calm, even when I have very sensitive dry skin.

Thoughts :

After using the Miracle Toner for almost a year, it helped reduce my acne and I donā€™t break out anymore (unless itā€™s hormonal šŸ™„). My acne scars are not as severe, andĀ my skin texture is smooth and soft! Although they claim to magically renew your skin in 30 days, that unfortunately did not work on me. The results really kicked inĀ after 2 to 3 months, so donā€™t lose hope my skin sisters out there šŸ’Ŗ!!

I really recommend this toner to beauties who are struggling with acne and has sensitive skin. It does a lot while being very gentle and protective to your skin. Other than that, I believe it can work on both dry or oily skin type. However, if you have perfectly normal skin, I donā€™t think you need this toner at all! There are other milderĀ toners that can still help you achieve that clear, glowy skin šŸ‘Œ .

Thanks for reading my rambles and I hope it helped give you more insight on theĀ ever popular toner!

Stay gorgeous šŸŒø Till next time~

    Hi Momina,

    The toners & moisturisers youā€™ve picked out are all amazing choices! For acne-prone skin, we would recommend the Some By Mi toner and Etude Soon Jung Barrier Cream ā€“ these both have skin-strengthening ingredients to help breakouts!

    Hope this helps. Thanks for reading xx

    Hi Iylia,

    We wouldnā€™t recommend using mandelic acid if you already are using the Some by Mi toner in the morning and vitamin C in the evening. These ingredients are all forms of acids which we would suggest not to combine together in your skincare routine. Itā€™s also important not to use too many products that contain these ingredients to prevent irritation.

    Hope this helps. Thanks!
