Some By Mi Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum 30ml

Retinol serum by Some By Mi is a 30ml intensive care formula from the Korean skincare brand, designed to target early signs of skin aging in a gentle way suitable even for sensitive skin. This serum combines retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol in one formula aimed at reactivating skin vitality and gradually improving its overall appearance.

The product uses the brand’s elastic-liposome technology to help deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin, supporting improved elasticity and a reduction in the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It also includes soothing and hydrating ingredients that help support the skin barrier and minimize the irritation often associated with retinol use, making it a suitable pick for those new to retinol.

Benefits

• Helps improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Supports skin cell renewal for a fresher, more revitalized look.
• Helps refine skin texture and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.
• Contains soothing ingredients that support the skin barrier and reduce irritation.
• Delivers a hydrated feel with a lightweight, non-sticky, non-greasy finish.

Key Ingredients

• Retinol: A form of vitamin A that supports skin cell turnover and helps reduce the look of wrinkles.
• Retinal: Another vitamin A derivative that helps improve skin texture and elasticity.
• Bakuchiol: A plant-derived ingredient that acts as a gentler alternative to retinol, suitable for sensitive skin.
• Niacinamide: Helps even out skin tone and boost radiance.
• Panthenol and Beta-Glucan: Help hydrate, calm the skin, and support its natural barrier.
• Licorice Root Extract: Helps brighten the look of acne marks and improve skin tone.

How to Use

Apply in the evening after cleansing and toning the face. Use a moderate amount and gently spread it over the face, patting lightly for absorption. During the first two weeks, use a small amount once daily to let the skin adjust, then gradually increase the amount and frequency. It’s recommended to do a patch test before first use, and to apply sunscreen during the day since retinol can increase skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.

Who Is It For?

This serum is suitable for those noticing early signs of skin aging such as fine lines and loss of elasticity, as well as those looking to start a retinol routine for the first time with a gentler formula. Its balanced formulation also makes it a good option for those with sensitive skin who want the benefits of retinol with minimal irritation.

Precautions

Perform a patch test before first use to confirm skin compatibility. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a doctor. Do not apply on broken skin or areas with severe irritation. Retinol increases skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, so daily sunscreen use and limiting direct sun exposure are recommended. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
