AHA.BHA.PHA 30 DAYS MIRACLE ACNE FOAM

Some By Mi: AHA·BHA·PHA 30 Days Miracle Acne Foam

The “Pore Purifier”

What it is good for: Clearing active acne, removing deep-seated blackheads, and smoothing out rough “bumpy” skin texture. It is formulated to calm inflammation while chemically exfoliating dead skin cells.

Ideal Skin Type: Oily, Acne-Prone, and Congested skin. It is excellent for “maskne” or hormonal breakouts.

Caution: If you have very dry or extremely sensitive skin, this may feel a bit stripping if used every single day.

Key Ingredients:

AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid): Refines skin texture and gets rid of flaky dead skin on the surface.

BHA (Salicylic Acid 0.5%): The star ingredient for acne; it goes deep into the pores to dissolve sebum (oil).

PHA (Poly Hydroxy Acid): A mild exfoliant that hydrates while it works, making it gentler than traditional acids.

Truecica™ (160,000 ppm): Some By Mi’s signature blend of Tea Tree, Mugwort, and Centella Asiatica to soothe the skin so the acids don’t cause irritation.

How & When to Apply

Because this contains active exfoliating acids, you need to be more strategic with it than a basic cleanser.

What Hour:

PM (Recommended): This is the best time to use it to wash away the day’s oil, sweat, and pollution. It preps the skin for overnight repair.

AM: Only use it in the morning if you have very oily skin. Crucial: You must wear SPF during the day because AHAs make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

The Application Method:

Squeeze & Lather: Dispense a pea-sized amount onto wet palms. Rub your hands together until it creates a rich, thick foam.

Targeted Massage: Focus the foam on your “Problem Zones”—usually the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) where oil and blackheads live.

The “Active” Minute: Let the foam sit on your skin for about 30–60 seconds. This allows the Salicylic Acid (BHA) to actually penetrate the pores. If you rinse it off instantly, the acids won’t have time to work.

Rinse Thoroughly: Use lukewarm water. Ensure no residue is left behind, especially around the hairline.

⚠️ The “Mix-and-Match” Warning

Since you mentioned the APLB Glutathione Niacinamide and the Anua Hyaluronic line, here is how you should balance them:

Don’t Over-Exfoliate: Do not use this Miracle Foam at the same time as other high-strength exfoliating scrubs or peeling gels.

The Perfect Pair: Use the Some By Mi Foam in the evening to clear your pores, and the Anua Squalane Cleanser in the morning to keep your moisture barrier healthy.

Brightening Boost: Using this foam before your APLB Glutathione serum is a “power move.” By removing the dead skin cells with the foam, the Glutathione can penetrate much deeper into your new, fresh skin cells.
