SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 DAYS MIRACLE SERUM

What is this product?

SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum is a 50 ml two-layer serum, water over oil in a stated 7 to 3 split and shaken before use, aimed at dehydrated oily and acne-prone skin. Centella asiatica extract is the second of 64 entries and tea tree leaf water carries a printed 10,000 ppm. The AHA and PHA entries are printed at parts per billion or 105 ppm and no BHA-named entry is listed, so it works as a soothing moisture serum rather than an acid exfoliant. It carries ethanol, eight fixed plant oils and five essential oils, with no fragrance entry.

What makes it different?

A shake-before-use water and oil serum that leads with centella and 10,000 ppm tea tree leaf water, and prints its acid levels in parts per billion, which puts the acid name on the bottle well ahead of the acid dose in the formula.
