How many of you actually exfoliate? Regular exfoliation not only clears away dry and dead skin but also allows for better absorption of skincare and cosmetic products. Don't over-exfoliate however, you wouldn't want to strip away the natural oils of your skin.
I have to admit, my skincare regime lacks exfoliation. I do use a gentle scrub weekly, but that's to the extent of it. Clearly, I'm not doing enough.
So when Threebs send me two of Some By Mi's signature Miracle product, I couldn't wait to try it out. Something + By a Miracle is a Korean brand that strives to provide naturally sourced ingredients that comfort the skin.

The products that I will be highlighting in this write-up is part of Some By Mi's AHA BHA PHA range, made for Acne Prone Skin Types. All products are dermatologically tested and KFDA approved.
Now, you'd ask, what is AHA BHA and PHA? AHA BHA PHA are essentially naturally derived acids that has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, meant to gently exfoliate away dead skin on the surface and at the same time, purify the internal layer of the skin.
I used both products sparingly, only in my night-time skincare regime. The usage gentle exfoliants really depends on your skin type, I have sensitive skin, so this was my prefix regime for an optimum effect.
Like the name suggests, the Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner is a low PH toner, that has skin exfoliating ingredients, focused to purify and gently exfoliate the skin, revealing a fresh and brighter complexion, when used overtime.
SKIN BENEFITS:
I really liked the hint of minty scent of this product, it felt refreshing.
On cleansed face, I soaked a cotton pad with ample amount of Miracle Toner, before gently swiping on an upward notion, over my entire face. The Miracle Toner not only helps to rebalance the skin's PH level, but also removes the leftover impurities from the skin's surface.
On that note, I'd usually apply toner only using my hands and fingers, by gently tapping the product onto my skin. However, if I had makeup on earlier during the day, I'd use a cotton pad, simply because it helps with lifting the leftover impurities away.
The Miracle Toner did not irritate my sensitive skin, and I also noticed that my after skincare and makeup absorbed better.
The Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 14 Days Miracle Spot All Kill Cream (gosh, the name is a mouthful) on the other hand, not only helps to strengthen the skin's natural barrier, it also aims to reduce wrinkles, purify and brighten the overall skin tone.
SKIN BENEFITS:
Despite the name, the product felt more like a gel, rather than a cream. And like the former, this also had a very light minty scent to it.
It is also worthy to note that apart from AHA BHA and PHA, the product also have Cica and Vitamin B5 as core ingredients, known for it's soothing and anti-inflammatory properties - perfect for my sensitive skin.
I applied the spot clearing gel, after using the Miracle Toner, and before my night-time moisturizer, only on the red spots on my face. The product melts into the skin, so it did not leave an unwanted sticky-feeling on my face.
Upon a few applications, I was quite surprised to see that the redness have gradually reduced.
