Category: Serum & Ampoule

Brand: SOME BY MI

Some By Mi’s Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum delivers advanced anti-aging results with a stabilised form of pure retinol, combined with bakuchiol and plant-based calming agents.

This powerful serum targets early wrinkles, loss of firmness, and enlarged pores by encouraging skin renewal and improving elasticity.

Its lightweight texture absorbs easily and helps refine rough or dull skin, revealing a smoother, clearer complexion over time.

While potent, the formula is thoughtfully designed to minimize irritation, making it suitable even for sensitive skin when used as directed.

Expect visible improvements in tone, texture, and firmness within a few weeks.

Delivers a clinically aligned combination of retinol 0.1% + retinal + bakuchiol for firmer, smoother skin.
Supports collagen and elastin production for visible improvement in texture and elasticity.
Includes barrier-strengthening actives (panthenol, beta-glucan, ceramides) to counter dryness or sensitivity.
Provides anti-inflammatory support to keep the skin balanced while adapting to retinoids.
Ideal introductory retinol serum — effective without unnecessary irritation.
Curated pick: A founder favourite — gentle enough for first-time retinol users yet powerful enough to improve texture, refine pores, soften smile lines and brighten uneven tone.

Retinol 0.1% – Supports skin renewal and helps soften fine lines.
Retinal (1ppm) – Faster-acting vitamin A derivative for improved smoothness and radiance.
Bakuchiol (5,000ppm) – Plant-based retinoid alternative that boosts firming and evening effects.
Niacinamide – Helps brighten and reinforce the skin barrier.
Panthenol & Beta-Glucan – Provide calming, hydrating and restoring care.
Centella Asiatica Complex – Helps soothe sensitivity and support repair.
Ceramide NP – Strengthens barrier resilience against dryness and irritation.

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin in the evening only.
For the first 1–2 weeks, use once a day at night (ultra-sensitive users can start every other evening).
After 3 weeks, if the skin adjusts well, gradually increase frequency.
Always pair with a nourishing moisturiser.
Use sunscreen every morning.

Step 1: Oil Cleanser → Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser → Step 3: Exfoliator (not same night as retinol) → Step 4: Toner → Step 5: Essence → Step 6: Serum / Ampoule (This Product) → Step 7: Face Mask (PM alternate nights) → Step 8: Eye Care → Step 9: Moisturiser → Step 10: Suncream (AM)

Skin Types: Oily, Combination, Normal

Concerns: Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Dullness, Uneven Tone, Loss of Firmness, Pores, Texture, Barrier Weakness, Early Ageing

Pairs well with: Ceramides, peptides, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, centella-based serums, and gentle barrier-repair moisturisers. These support the skin while adjusting to retinol, reducing dryness and enhancing results.

Compatible with: Most hydrating and barrier-supporting routines. Works with niacinamide, panthenol, fermented ingredients, centella, and mild antioxidant serums. Vitamin C derivatives (e.g., SAP, MAP, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid) are generally fine in a morning routine, as they are gentler and less reactive alongside retinoids.

Avoid using: Strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA/PHA), pure ascorbic acid vitamin C, and other retinoids. This prevents irritation and barrier stress. Leave at least 24 hours between this product and chemical exfoliants for comfort. For beginners or sensitive skin, follow a gradual introduction: use 1–2 nights per week, then slowly increase if the skin adapts well.

Layering tip: Use only in the evening on dry skin after serums. Follow with a nourishing cream to prevent dryness and improve tolerance. Always apply SPF in the morning.

Pro Tip: This serum blends retinol 0.1%, retinal, and bakuchiol, giving strong anti-ageing benefits while remaining beginner-friendly. The formula also includes beta-glucan, ceramides, and panthenol, which improve barrier recovery and comfort — ideal for first-time retinol users or those wanting visible smoothing and glow with less irritation.
