Description

SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum is an anti-aging facial serum formulated to target four major signs of aging while minimizing irritation for sensitive skin. It combines a 3-active retinol system with delivery technology and barrier-strengthening ingredients to support wrinkle improvement and skin resilience. Recommended for shoppers seeking a retinol serum suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types.

Key Features

  • 3-Active Retinol Combination: Retinol 0.1% + Retinal 1 ppm + Bakuchiol 5,000 ppm.
  • Elastic-liposome delivery system to enhance skin penetration of active ingredients.
  • Barrier support complex: Panthenol 10,000 ppm + Beta-glucan 300 ppm + Ceramide + TRUECICA™ to protect from external irritation and reduce moisture loss.
  • Completed tests: non-comedogenic tested, sensitive skin hypoallergenic tested.
  • 20-Free formulation (no specified 20 chemicals) and certified FRANCE EVE VEGAN.
  • Packaging renewed from dropper to pump for easier use.

How to Use

  1. First 1–2 weeks: Use once a day in a small amount only in the evening. For ultra-sensitive skin, use every other day.
  2. Always follow with sufficient moisturizing care after application.
  3. After 3 weeks: If your skin adapts well and there is no discomfort, you may increase frequency and amount of application.

Key Ingredients

  • Retinol 0.1% — retinoid active for wrinkle improvement.
  • Retinal 1 ppm — retinoid derivative contributing to retinoid activity.
  • Bakuchiol 5,000 ppm — plant-derived alternative with retinol-like activity.
  • Panthenol 10,000 ppm — skin barrier support and hydration.
  • Beta-glucan 300 ppm — barrier-strengthening and soothing agent.
  • Ceramide — helps restore and maintain skin barrier.
  • TRUECICA™ — soothing/skin-protective complex.
  • Elastic-liposome — delivery system to maximize penetration.

Cautions

  • Before use, perform a patch test on the inside of the arm to check for irritation.
  • Recommended for occasional evening use initially; always apply sunscreen when using products containing retinoids.
  • Avoid use immediately after laser procedures or if skin is temporarily sensitized by treatment.
  • Do not use concurrently with physical or chemical exfoliating products that may increase irritation.
  • During the adaptation period, you may experience skin flaking, stinging, or redness; these can be natural responses to retinoid-induced skin turnover. If severe irritation occurs, consult a specialist.

  1. พลอย Khon Kaen, Thailand

    ใช้งานได้ดี ไม่มีการระคายเคืองเลย ใช้แล้วรู้สึกว่าผิวอิ่มน้ำมากขึ้น ดูสุขภาพดี อยากบอกต่อเพื่อน

  2. Marisol Montevideo, Uruguay

    Usé este serum por unas semanas. La textura es ligera y se absorbe rápido. Me notaron menos arrugas, así que parece funcionar bien. Vale la pena el precio.

  3. Tatiana from Berlin, Germany

    I tried this serum for a few weeks. Saw some improvements in fine lines but not drastic. Mild irritation once or twice, but manageable. It’s okay overall.

  4. Elena from مادريد، إسبانيا

    الجديتين سيروم سهل الاستخدام. شعرت بتحسن في التجاعيد بشكل سريع. لكن كانت فيه رائحة قوية شوي.

  5. Freja Stockholm, Sweden

    Använder den här serumet varje kväll. Min hud känns mycket mer strålande och återfuktad nu. Jag märker en förbättring på rynkorna också. Tydlig skillnad, värt priset.

  6. Somchai Ratanakoset from Bangkok, Thailand

    On first glance, I approached the SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum with a sprinkle of skepticism. Growing up in Bangkok, I’ve seen numerous products parade claims without delivering results. However, after giving this serum a consistent two-week trial alongside my typical routine under Thailand’s sun and humidity—my skin began to change for the better! Its lightweight texture swiftly absorbed into my complexion felt refreshing rather than greasy. The blend of retinol and Bakuchiol truly works wonders against fine lines while remaining gentle enough on sensitive patches around my nose that usually rebelled with irritation from similar formulas. So there’s merit behind those exciting buzzwords; indeed no redness or discomfort—a welcome surprise for an active ingredient! A genuinely reassuring boost as part of both daily morning light moisturizer underneath SPF makeup rituals and evenings when life relaxes post long hours.

  7. Jenna Torres from Los Angeles, California

    Yo, I just tried the SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Serum and WOW. Like, this little bottle packs a punch! It feels super light on my skin – not heavy or greasy at all. The best part? No breakouts after using it even though I’m pretty sensitive with skincare. My lines look less noticeable already! And who knew vegan serums could do such magic? If you’re dealing with fine wrinkles like me in L.A., give this stuff a shot! You’ll thank me later!

  8. Emily Carrington from Toronto, Canada

    I began incorporating the Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum into my night routine last month, and I’ve already noticed a visible difference. The combination of retinol and bakuchiol truly targets those pesky fine lines without overwhelming sensitive skin—it’s like gentle rejuvenation! Hydration has markedly improved; I feel confident sharing bare-faced selfies now!

  9. Irena Calloway from Toronto, Canada

    In Toronto’s dry winter climate, SOME BY MI’s Retinol Intense Serum redefines hydration levels. It comforts sensitive areas while banishing fine lines with undeniable efficiency.

  10. Aria Chandra from Vancouver

    Initially, I was quite doubtful about incorporating retinol into my routine, largely due to fears of irritation. Living in the bustling heart of Vancouver exposes me to pollution and countless skin triggers daily—would another product aggravate it? Surprisingly though, after two weeks with SOME BY MI’s Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum, not only has there been an undeniable improvement in fine lines but also a softness that made colleagues ask if I’ve adopted some secret skincare ritual! My complexion appears renewed yet gently nurtured rather than fragile—a triumph for sensitive souls like mine.

  11. Zeynep Istanbul, Turkey

    Ürünü birkaç haftadır kullanıyorum. Cildimdeki ince çizgileri gözle görülür şekilde azalttı. Kullanım sonrasında rahatsızlık hissetmedim. Pamuk gibi bir dokuya sahip, rahatça uygulanıyor.

  12. Zuri Makhalemele from Pretoria, South Africa

    When I first laid my hands on the SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum, skepticism was a constant companion. What’s so different about yet another serum? Despite the claims of being gentle for sensitive skin, it’s common to encounter products that oversell their softness while harshness brews within. After two weeks of integrating this into my night ritual—dabbed carefully with expectation and apprehension—the soft resilience of my once weary complexion became evident. It transitioned from dry desert ground to rejuvenated terrain sprouting new life! The blend is oddly mesmerizing: creamy yet remarkably light; infusing hydration without the unwanted grease! Here in Pretoria, where our sunlight pricks sharply and ages faster than we can blink away shadows—we could really use a little help retaining youth’s gleam; call me convinced.

  13. Clara from Barcelona, Spain

    Noticed a difference in my skin’s texture after just a few uses. Highly recommend it for sensitive skin.
