How to choose your Some By Mi product?

Choosing a Some By Mi product means identifying two things: your goal (radiance, anti-blemish, anti-aging) and your tolerance to active ingredients. The AHA BHA PHA range targets acne-prone or dull skin, while retinol formulas are for skin that wants to combat fine lines and hyperpigmentation. Concentration and frequency of application are the two factors to adjust according to your sensitivity.

A good sign of compatibility with your skin: the absence of redness or tingling beyond the first week of use. If your skin tolerates chemical exfoliants well at low doses, you can progress to more concentrated formulas. Some By Mi structures its ranges progressively, which facilitates this gradual increase, provided you respect the announced timelines. The brand cites a 30-day period for visible results, a commitment based on regular use.

Our Top Picks: Best Some By Mi Products

Three products account for most of the interest in this brand among Holy Skin customers. The Some By Mi - AHA, BHA, PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum is the iconic entry point to the range: a triple chemical exfoliation that smooths skin texture and reduces imperfections by acting at three levels of depth. For skin that wants to treat the eye contour and early signs of aging simultaneously, the Some By Mi - Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream combines retinol, peptides, and plumping ingredients in a texture suitable for the delicate periorbital area. The Some By Mi - Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum completes this trio with a serum formula that targets dullness and sagging skin across the entire face, ideal for a progressive treatment.

The Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum is by far the product that comes up most often in customer feedback.

What sets it apart: the combination of the three types of acids in doses designed to act without irritation, with visible results on foundation application and pores in less than a month of regular use. To learn all about this range, find our full review of Some By Mi.

      Holy Skin's Advice

      Cédrichas been closely following Some By Mi's performance since the brand took off in the French market, largely driven by the TikTok wave around "30 days challenges" skincare.

      "What I observe in our customers who abandon the range too early is that they haven't understood that acids require an adaptation period. Some By Mi built all its communication around 30 days: that's the minimum time to judge. Those who stick with it always come back to order."

      This 30-day milestone is also the ideal time to assess whether you can increase frequency or if your skin prefers alternate use.

      Is Some By Mi a Korean brand?

      Yes, Some By Mi is a cruelty-free brand: it does not test its products on animals and has obtained third-party certifications to that effect. This is one of the most frequently asked questions about the brand, a sign that ethics matter as much as the formula to your audience.

      The brand is also vegan for most of its products, but check the product page on a case-by-case basis, especially for ranges that include animal-derived active ingredients.

      Can AHA BHA PHA toner be used daily?

      The AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle toner is formulated for daily use, but not without precautions. For the first two weeks, limit application to every other night if your skin is sensitive or reactive. The goal is to allow your skin barrier to adapt to the acids without discomfort.

      After this initial period, most skin types can tolerate daily application in the evening. Avoid combining it with other chemical exfoliants or retinol at the same time of application: acids and retinol should be used alternately, not layered.

      Where are Some By Mi products made?

      Start with two evenings a week for the first month, then increase to three evenings if your skin responds well. Korean retinol from Some By Mi is encapsulated for gradual release, which makes it more tolerable than unencapsulated formulas, but caution is still advised at the beginning of the treatment.

      Do not combine retinol with AHA/BHA acids on the same evening. Alternate: retinol one evening, acids the next evening. And whatever the season, SPF in the morning is non-negotiable as soon as you use retinol, as it makes the skin more sensitive to UV.

      What results can you expect from Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle?

      The brand advertises 30 days for visible results on complexion, blemishes, and skin texture. In practice, the first improvements (radiance, smoother skin surface) often appear between day 14 and day 21 for skin that tolerates acids well.

      Post-acne hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores require a longer period, often two to three months of regular use. These are concerns that chemical exfoliants address gradually, not overnight.

      Where can I find Some By Mi products in France?

      Yes, and that's even the logic of the Korean routine. Some By Mi fits into a step-by-step routine: a gentle cleanser, a toner (in this case the AHA BHA PHA if you're targeting imperfections), then a light moisturizer to seal the skin barrier. Pimple patches can supplement targeted areas overnight.

      However, avoid layering several exfoliating active ingredients from different brands on the same night. One active at a time: this is the basic principle of an effective K-Beauty routine that respects your skin.
