SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Clear Body Cleanser
Skin-Nomad's Take — At a Glance
- Body wash with 5,000 ppm (0.5%) Salicylic Acid
- Tea tree, Truecica Centella, propolis and heartleaf
- For oily skin and clogged pores on the back, chest and shoulders
Clogged pores across the back and shoulders are the hardest to reach and the easiest to forget, which is why they stay. The SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Clear Body Cleanser puts Salicylic Acid at 5,000 ppm into a daily body wash, so the work happens in the one step that already reaches everywhere. SOME BY MI is the South Korean brand behind the AHA BHA PHA Miracle line, and this is that thinking applied below the jaw.
Key Benefits
- Salicylic Acid at 5,000 ppm works inside the pore: Salicylic Acid dissolves in oil, so it moves into the sebum packed into the pore rather than working across the top. On the back and shoulders, where skin is thicker and oilier, that is where clogged pores start.
- Tea tree, propolis and Centella keep skin calm: Tea tree extract sits high on the list, with propolis, heartleaf and SOME BY MI's Truecica blend of Centella further down. Red, angry-looking areas look calmer while the acid clears the pores.
- A rich lather that rinses clean: Lauric and myristic acids with potassium hydroxide give a full foam, softened by milder betaine cleansers. Skin comes out clean and smooth rather than tight.
Texture & Finish
A gel that lathers into a light foam on a cloth or loofah and rinses away cleanly. Skin afterwards feels comfortable rather than squeaky. Tea tree and eucalyptus give it a clean, herbal scent.
Note: Salicylic Acid at this level can dry skin that has not used it before, so start with a few washes a week.
Ideal For
- Skin types: Combination and oily body skin, and normal body skin that gets oily in hot weather.
- Skin concerns: Clogged pores on the back, chest, shoulders and upper arms, excess oil, redness and rough texture.
- Best used by: Gym-goers, and anyone whose day involves a rucksack or a uniform shirt, because sweat trapped under fabric is what keeps body pores clogged.
FAQ
Q: How long should it stay on the skin before I rinse?
A: SOME BY MI recommends letting it sit for a short time before rinsing. Leave the lather on the back and chest for about a minute while you finish the rest of your shower, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Q: What about the AHA and PHA in the name?
A: The AHA (mandelic and citric acid) and PHA (gluconic and lactobionic acid) are listed at 2 to 10 ppm, so the exfoliating work here comes from the 5,000 ppm Salicylic Acid.
Q: Do I need sunscreen afterwards?
A: Salicylic Acid rinsed off in the shower does little to sun sensitivity, but newly smoothed skin on the shoulders and chest still deserves sunscreen when it will be uncovered.
Clogged pores on the back are mostly a reach problem rather than a skin problem, and a wash with an acid in it solves the reach first.
