SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum – 1.01oz, 30ml – Korean 0.1% Retinol Serum for Face Aging Signs and Post-Acne Marks – Pore Minimizer for Face with Bakuchiol & Retinal – Korean Skin Care

I’ve been using SOME BY MI Retinol for about a month now, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite steps in my nightly skincare routine. As someone with sensitive, oily skin, I’ve always been hesitant to try retinol due to its reputation for causing irritation, redness, or peeling. However, this product has completely changed my perception of retinol—it’s gentle, effective, and beginner-friendly.From the first use, I could tell this product was designed with sensitive skin in mind. The texture is silky and lightweight, making it easy to apply and layer with other products. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any sticky or greasy residue, which I appreciate, especially on nights when I want my skincare routine to feel clean and non-heavy. Additionally, the product is either fragrance-free or has only a very light, pleasant scent, which is a big plus for those who are sensitive to strong smells in skincare.After the first two weeks of consistent use, I started noticing subtle yet impressive changes in my skin. The surface of my skin felt smoother, and I could see a more even tone emerging. Over time, some of my stubborn texture issues, particularly around my cheeks and forehead, began to diminish. Even the fine lines around my eyes and mouth seemed to soften, leaving my skin looking fresher and more rejuvenated.One of the standout features of this product is how it combines the benefits of retinol. I didn’t experience any peeling or irritation, which is rare for me when trying new active ingredients. Instead, my skin felt balanced and hydrated, even after nightly use.I also appreciate how this product complements my existing routine. It layers beautifully with my moisturizer, and there’s no pilling when I apply sunscreen in the morning. It feels like a seamless addition rather than a complicated extra step. It’s worth noting that I started slow, using it every other night for the first week to ensure my skin could adjust, which I’d recommend for anyone new to retinol.Another aspect worth mentioning is its versatility. Whether you’re dealing with dullness, fine lines, mild acne, or uneven skin tone, this product offers a little something for everyone without overwhelming the skin. It’s also an excellent option for someone looking for a maintenance product—perfect if you want the benefits of retinol without diving into stronger formulations that might disrupt your skin’s balance.Overall, SOME BY MI Retinol is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to introduce retinol into their skincare routine without fear of irritation. It’s gentle yet effective, perfect for beginners or those with sensitive skin, and provides noticeable results in terms of smoother texture, brighter complexion, and softer lines. I’m thrilled with the difference it has made in my skin, and I can’t wait to see how my skin continues to improve with ongoing use. This will definitely remain a staple in my skincare collection, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a mild, approachable retinol product.

As a seasoned Korean skincare junkie with mature skin, I can honestly say that SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum has completely transformed my skincare routine. I’ve been using retinol products for years, but this one stands out because it offers all the anti-aging benefits without the harsh irritation that often comes with stronger formulas.First, let's talk about the texture. The serum is lightweight but still feels nourishing, absorbing beautifully into my skin without any sticky residue. It leaves my face feeling smooth, hydrated, and prepped for the next step in my routine. I love how it doesn’t cause the usual dryness or peeling that comes with stronger retinol-based products, which is a huge plus for my sensitive, mature skin.After about a month of consistent use, I’ve noticed significant improvements in the texture and overall appearance of my skin. Fine lines around my eyes and mouth are visibly softened, and my skin looks brighter and more even-toned. The formula also targets uneven texture and dullness, two common concerns for anyone over 40, and I’ve seen a noticeable glow that wasn’t there before.What I appreciate most about this serum is that it’s mild enough for daily use, even for those with more delicate or sensitive skin, but still effective enough to deliver visible results. This is the magic of Korean skincare—beautifully crafted formulas that combine science and gentle care. I can layer this serum under my moisturizer and sunscreen without any irritation, which makes it perfect for my daily routine.The retinol in this product helps with collagen production and skin renewal, so not only does it help with fine lines, but it also improves overall skin elasticity. I’ve found my skin to be much firmer and smoother since incorporating this into my routine.In short, if you’re looking for a gentle but potent retinol serum that works wonders on mature skin, SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum is a must-try. It’s the perfect balance of effective anti-aging treatment and nourishing care. I can’t imagine my nighttime routine without it now!

I do like this retinol. It has a subtle scent but nothing too offensive. It dries down nicely, and feels moisturizing without feeling heavy. I will say, it makes me breakout whenever I use it consistently. I think it’s just my skin purging as that’s common with retinols. I hope overtime the breakouts slow down, but they really aren’t that bad. I’ll go to sleep with this and wake up with three small zits, but they already have heads. I quickly pop, and go on with my day. It’s not like deep cystic breakouts. That’s why I think it’s just making my skin purge by bringing all that gunk to the surface.Overall I like it. The dropper could be a little more effective at getting product out but oh well. It does not cause my skin to be dry or flaky which I really appreciate as my skin is always drier in the winter

Remember retinol can irritate the skin , so I use this only 2/3 times a week in the evening . Although so far I am enjoying the results . I ran out of my eye cream but this can be used in that area too and I’ve noticed it helps with my dark circles as well as hyperpigmentation.

Hard to rate. So, it appears that this bottle is not full. I have to tilt the bottle in order to get a good dropper full. Was there a manufacturing issue?? I have been using what's there in the bottle and seems to work. Just disappointed in amount, as I paid for more. I want to reorder, but if I do i want the full amount of ounces stated on the bottle.Overall:-very light pleasant scent-value seems to be good, but bottle did not come full- the bottle is packaged well, tight and secure and a cute bottle to have displayed with your stash- I'm lead to think that the lack of liquid in the bottle may be due to incorrect machine setting....???- seems to be working on skin smoothness and dark spots
