| GALACTOMYCES FERMENT FILTRATE | 88% |
Say hello to radiant, hydrated skin with Some By Mi's Galactomyces Glutathione Glow Milky Toner. This gentle, moisture-rich formula is designed to smooth rough texture and bring dull skin back to life. Infused with a powerful 86% Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, this toner delivers deep hydration and essential nutrients to tired, flaky skin.
Galactomyces Glutathione Glow Milky Toner is a lightweight toner from SOME BY MI, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration, brightening and tone and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 59 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Glycerin and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin and Panthenol.
Brightening: High. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Allantoin, Panthenol, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract and Niacinamide.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Panthenol and Linoleic Acid.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after cleansing, before serums. Apply to slightly damp skin so the humectants have water to hold on to.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
