Can Clear Skin Really Happen in 30 Days? Exploring the Hype Behind This Miracle Serum

In the world of skincare, results are everything. People want visible changes—smoother skin, fewer breakouts, and a natural glow—and they want them fast. That’s why products with big promises tend to grab attention. One such product that’s been a long-standing player in skincare is the Some by Mi 30 Days Miracle range – which contains every beauty product under the sun (toner, creams, serum, pimple patches and sunscreen) to maintain this promise. But with the fierce competition that already exists in the serum game and with new players appearing all the time – how does the Some By Mi 30 Days Miracle Serum hold up on its own? With a name that includes “miracle” and a packaging that is recognizable for a majority of acne veterans, how does it hold up in 2025?

What's Inside the Bottle?

It’s marketed agents are the trio of anti-sebum acids (AHA, BHA and PHA) which are famous among the K-beauty regime as exfoliating acids that digest sebum and produce radiance to skin. These are in low levels in the serum, allowing it to stay on skin for longer and limit irritation.

The serum also boasts niacinamide, which minimizes appearance of pores and hyperpigmentation – whilst also boosting hydration and shine.

Boosted with 14.5% Centella Asciatica extracts and tea-tree oil, both work in tandem as antibacterial agents that reduce harmful levels of bacteria on the skin that cause acne and allows relief of inflammation and redness. The mixture of these essential oils and water floral extracts creates an emulsion of a thicker, softly scented serum to touch.

It is cooling and refreshing on the skin and couples very well with Some By Mi’s famous 30 Days Miracle Toner – creating an important contrast to the watery toner effect. With gentle tapping, the serum is quickly absorbed into skin and does not require mechanical massaging, which can inflame spot areas. It provides a good moisturizing effect and can reduce bacterial levels on skin.

This serum is formulated for problematic skin types and designed to reduce bacterial levels in acne-prone skin and provide the careful hydration of centella asciatica, tea tree oil and niacinamide to prevent tight-feeling skin or dryness. This product has shown great effect on chronic acne scars and blackheads in some patrons – especially with oily skin types.

Can This Really be Achieved in 30 Days?

If there was a cure-all for every skin type, there would only be one beauty product on the market and life would be beautifully simple. As we are all unique and individual, however, some products match up well to your skin type and indeed – when matched up to the right skin type, patrons have seen dramatic effects with this serum.

For oily skin types, suffering from scars or blackheads – some have reports dramatic effects within weeks; with the serum helping reduce oily residue on skin, providing a soothing and cooling effect and producing smoother, healthier skin. For some, there is a “break-out” period, there the addition of new oils to the skin causes a reaction and more pimples – which is reported to calm down after 1-2 weeks with a sudden improvement. This is due to the skin accepting the new hydration status and no longer producing as much sebum.

It is important to note that this serum has had poor effect in sensitive skin types, as the oils and ethanol formulation can cause a reaction in some. It is important if you have sensitive skin to ensure to perform a patch test to ensure compatibility with your skin type.

How To Use (For Best Results):

Can be used morning or night – and some use it for both. If you are using both morning and night it is crucial to ensure you are using an appropriate cleanser in between to prevent build-up on skin.

1. Apply to clean, dry skin (can be used after toner in routine) - use applicator to apply several drops to cheekbones and to forehead.

2. Gently spread across skin with fingertips, lightly tapping to allow good contact with skin barrier and absorption. Don’t rub hard to avoid irritating skin.

3. Once serum is dry, continue with next product.

Always remember to add a new product to your regime one at a time so you can accurately gauge how you are responding to it.

Why Is the 30 Days Miracle Serum Different?

Many serums are advertised as acne treatments or for skin texture enhancement, but few have both active and calming components. That is why Some By Mi 30 Days Miracle Serum differs from other products on the market. It utilises a range of ingredients to ensure the full requirements of skincare is obtained – that your skin is lightly exfoliated, bacteria is reduced and skin is hydrated.
