This cult-classic SOME BY MI serum truly lives up to its name! Part of the brand’s award-winning 30 Day Miracle line, it’s formulated with a blend of AHA, BHA, and PHA: three exfoliating acids that work in synergy to lift dead cells and debris from the surface of the skin, pry impurities and sebum out of pores, and lock moisture into the deepest layers of the skin. This serum is further enriched with highly-concentrated Tea Tree Leaf Water (10,000ppm) and Centella Asiatica (14.5%), a skin-soothing pair of ingredients that also help to eliminate blemish-causing bacteria and bolster the skin barrier, for a healthier and more resilient complexion.
