FINAL THOUGHTS:
ON MIRACLE TONER: The toner has a minty scent and very mild on the skin. Consistency is watery but feels moisturized on the skin upon applying the toner. I noticed that it made my skin soft, smooth and moisturized especially in the morning. This toner has that right amount of moisturize that every skin types will truly love. Though at times, my skin feels a little greasy when I wake up in the morning after I use this toner at night. I like how soft, supple and moisturized my skin is in the morning, I prefer using this at NIGHT ONLY since I have and oily skin. I tried using this toner in the morning but I noticed that my skin became oily-er. I only use this in the morning when I'm at home or not going out.
ON MIRACLE SOAP: The soap is very mild and I usually use this in the morning and at night together with the Miracle Toner. I cut the soap in to small parts to maximize the use. I like that the soap doesn't dissolve easily so I still have more than half of bar in a month of use.
ON H7 HYDROMAX CREAM: Since I already have an oily skin and I personally avoid using moisturizers, I like this one is very mild and a little goes a long way. I only use this a night and usually the last part of my skincare routine. Sometimes I use this in the morning when I'm on my rest day. I find this cream very hydrating on the skin and makes my skin soft and supple.
THOUGHTS ON ALL THE PRODUCTS:
1st week - It really made my skin soft, smooth and supple. I noticed that the emerging pimples started to dry up fast. No new pimples that week.
2nd week - It helped some of the blemishes fade though I experienced small pimple breakout or purging. There were tiny bumps with whitish heads that easily fades in 1-2 days. I also noticed superficial red spots on my forehead that I NEVER experienced. I didn't bother so much since I thought it was purging and still continued to use the set. Also, I noticed that I had less blackheads now so I thought that the product helped to get of my blackheads which is one of my skin problems.
3rd week - I noticed that the pimple on the cheek that was supposedly drying up already became excessively huge! There was A HUGE BUMP with PUS the day after that. I also noticed 3 tiny bumps with a pus on my nose area, one bump with a pus near the eyebrow, more red spots on my forehead, 2 pimples near my hair line and small pimple with a pus on my chin. Then I knew I was having a bad breakouts. I immediately STOPPED using all of these and went back to my old skincare routine.
Imagine having a good skin for days then suddenly a BAD SKIN right after a few weeks of use. I really felt bad for risking my skin to Korean skincare again. I first tried Korean skincare/products in 2016 and I remembered having a lot of breakouts in a month. I also thought that it was purging or maybe hormonal breakouts but then when I stopped using Korean skincare, the breakouts also stopped. I'm not blaming Some My Mi or any Korean products because this is just how my skin reacts. I have an oily, acne prone and sensitive skin to begin with and I noticed that Korean skincare products tends to have a moisturizing effects on the skin plus I think their products are really suited for colder weather/climate. Also, I noticed that my skin likes more "harsh" products rather than the milder ones.
I know that this product has A LOT OF POSITIVE RESULTS but sadly, I think it's really not for me. It's already my 2nd time using or trying a Korean skincare routine and I experienced BAD BREAKOUTS both times. :(
I'm not saying that this product would not/would work for you but I'm just stating my experience here.
***For now, I'm recovering from this breakout and still looking products that would help my skin. Since I used this kit for straight 3 weeks (for the sake of review), I'm planning to give it a TRY to use this along with my current skincare products just to see if it'll work out.

By the way, I got mine directly from Some By Mi (SITE), priced for 32,000 Won or Php 1517.61. (Sale price NOW, August 2018 for 15,000 Won or Php 711.38). There's also a lot of online shops here in the Philippines which sells Some By Mi Miracle Toner so you can check that out (just not sure of the authenticity).

ReplyDeleteHi! Have you already recovered for the breakouts caused by this? I had used the set for almost 2mos and i still have the breakouts :'(
ReplyDeleteYes. The breakouts grew worst until the end of the year. Finally went to a dermatologist last November and here's my updated skin (January 2019) https://pinkislovebynix.blogspot.com/2019/01/my-isotretinoin-journey-acnotinaccutane.html I still have a lot of redness plus few pimps during this momth. Though my skin's way better than now. Here's my current skin and routine: https://youtu.be/jn8KGCGumoc
DeleteHi I tried this before for about 2 weeks, my skin was breaking out so bad like there huge pimple all over the face and it couldn't be hid. So sad and I thought I was the only one who exp this. Hopefully we found the right skin care routine. Well I stopped using toner and my skin Is getting better for just using aloe Vera, plus the scars are fading slowly, but I'm grateful. Hihi, have a nice dayy
ReplyDeletei just started the miracle line also for two weeks now and same as you nagbreak outs ako super dami. now im gonna stop it since buong mukha ko na sya. ano po yung ginamit nio pampalit instead?
ReplyDeleteI get breakout immediately after applying the toner. So I stopped. I had experience with Korean products before as they create breakouts. But I want to try to like them as people rave about them. So I tried this toner and it caused breakouts and many comodos also
