Some By Mi Starter Kit Review


Some By Mi Propolis Glow Barrier Calming Oil To Foam is a two-in-one cleanser that is enriched with SOME BY MI's signature ingredient Truecica™ to promote skin-soothing benefit and packed with Oatmeal, Coconut and Apple for thorough deep cleansing. This honey oil based cleanser helps to remove all traces of makeup and pore waste while leaving skin protected and nourished with its inclusion of Propolis and B5.

How To Use
Dispense appropriate amount onto a dry face and gently massage to remove makeup. Apply a small amount of water for oil to transform into a rich foam, and massage on the face to thoroughly cleanse pore impurities. Rinse with lukewarm water.

Meant to be used on dry skin, Calming Oil To Foam cleanser turns from oil to foam for a good foaming action on the skin. It has a honey scent and the cleanser left my face clean, soft and smooth with a subtle taut sensation.

Unfortunately, my palms felt dry and there was a squeaky feel during cleansing. Not exactly a good fit for my skin type.

The medium weight consistency feels nourishing on skin but not as hydrating as what my skin needs as I still experience flakiness around the nostrils. It has the same distinct honey scent.

I don't fancy the subtle oily base, leaving my skin looking greasy and shiny. A zit appeared on the first day of use but thankfully subsided thereafter. I am not a fan of this cream due to the shine on my combination skin. It has the same distinct honey scent.
