Pairs well with: Niacinamide serums, Centella essences, light gel moisturisers, and hydrating layers like hyaluronic acid. These help counterbalance the exfoliating action of AHA, BHA, and PHA while supporting barrier comfort. Also works well with the rest of the SOMEBYMI 30 Days Miracle line (cleanser → toner → serum → cream) — the routine shown in the brand visuals allows morning and evening layering when used gently.
Avoid using: Strong acids (high-percentage AHA peels, salicylic acid over 2%, or exfoliating toners with similar strength) in the same step to prevent over-exfoliation. Pure ascorbic acid (L-ascorbic acid, 10–20%) can be used in a routine with this toner, but ideally not in the same moment — vitamin C in its pure form prefers a lower-pH environment, while AHA/BHA/PHA may increase sensitivity when paired directly. Using toner at night + pure vitamin C in the morning is the safest approach.
Layering tip: Use after cleansing with either a cotton pad or hands. On days when you want a deeper pore-care routine, it layers seamlessly with the full Miracle Line — cleanser → toner → serum → cream or similar lines concentrations.
Pro Tip: Because this is a daily exfoliating toner with AHA/BHA/PHA, consistency matters more than intensity. Using it once daily or every other day is enough for smoother pores and clearer skin. Always follow with sunscreen in the morning, as exfoliating acids increase sensitivity to UV exposure.
