Some By Mi AHA-BHA-PHA 30 Days Miracle Acne Clear Foam

⏱ 2 min read
⚡ Quick answer: AHA-BHA-PHA 30 Days Miracle Acne Clear Foam is Some By Mi's water cleanser (gel / foam), built around AHA (Glycolic/Lactic) and BHA (Salicylic) and PHA (Gluconolactone) and Tea Tree. Oily and blemish-prone skin that wants a decisive evening wash and is already using proper leave-on treatment elsewhere.

The cleanser from the set that made Some By Mi a household name in blemish-focused K-beauty. It combines all three acid families with tea tree in a foaming wash, and it is usually bought alongside the matching toner and serum. As a cleanser it is a competent, brisk foam for oily skin. The 30-day framing belongs to the marketing of the range as a whole rather than to anything this particular product does.

What it is built around

🍋 AHA (Glycolic/Lactic)🧽 BHA (Salicylic)🫧 PHA (Gluconolactone)🌱 Tea Tree

Who it suits

Oily and blemish-prone skin that wants a decisive evening wash and is already using proper leave-on treatment elsewhere. It is a reasonable second cleanse after an oil or balm. Dry, sensitive or currently irritated skin should stay away — three acid types plus tea tree in a foaming base is more provocation than benefit for reactive skin.

🔴 Acne & breakouts🛢️ Oil control⚫ Blackheads & sebaceous filaments🪨 Rough & uneven texture

How to use it

A small amount lathered in wet hands, massaged over damp skin for about thirty seconds, rinsed lukewarm. Evening, after an oil cleanser. Once daily is enough. If you are also using a leave-on exfoliant, consider alternating nights rather than stacking both, and always follow with moisturiser.

⚠️ Worth knowing: The name promises a timeline no cleanser can deliver, and the acids are rinsed away long before they can act — this is not a treatment, whatever the packaging implies. The bigger risk is the full set: using acid cleanser, acid toner and acid serum together is a well-trodden route to a stripped, stinging barrier. Persistent or painful breakouts are a matter for a doctor, not a foam.
