Review on Some by Mi Toner

 

 

This product is Korean and it's called Some by Mi 30 day miracle toner. It claims to brighten, moisturizes, and does pore care. it says that the "AHA, BHA and PHA work as effective exfoliator to leave skin cleaner and are radiant than before". Both AHA and BHA are acids that purpose is to exfoliate the skin. the different is that AHA are water soluble acids while BHA are oil-soluble which allows for it to go deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess. oil are what our pores excrete or try to at least(becomes acne). AHA are used for mild hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven skin tone while BHA are used for acne and sun damage. PHA are considered "cousins" of AHA but are more mild and are meant as a more sensitive exfoliating acid. (source 1,source 2)

as shown in the photos above and below this product is being used on my back. this product I was using it religiously everyday. as seen it did help to fade my hyperpigmentation a good amount. however, even so you can also see my tan which may have affected a bit. I've tried to used sunscreen when needed when I went on vacation but sill ended up not working extremely well. I guess this is also a sign to not just rely on sunscreen but on uv protected clothes when on vacation or in direct sunscreen for long periods of time.
