Some by Mi Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum

November 17, 2022 in Skincare Devotee

Decided to go with one of the brands I trust โ€“ @somebymi ๐Ÿƒ I rushed to buy this one since they have it on sale (launch price!!!) and it came with so many freebies ๐Ÿ’–

As with all new products, especially with retinol, I always approach with caution. My skin QUICKLY lets me know when it doesn't like something ๐Ÿ˜‚ I would know something doesnโ€™t work for me when I wake up with small bumps and some itching on my face. YEP. I get adverse reactions THAT fast! I've used it once and I'm happy to report that I didn't break out the next day ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’– The serum wasn't heavy at all, it was quickly absorbed.

The eye cream was super hydrating as well! I noticed less greasiness the following day ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ To be honest I wish I bought the full size. The small version came as a freebie with the serum since I purchased it during its pre-sale event! However, I can't wait to use this combo regularly ๐Ÿƒ

SERUM OBSERVATIONS

  • TEXTURE

    With most Some by Mi products, the serum wasnโ€™t thick and viscous. Itโ€™s quite translucent, runny, but not as runny as water- or oil-based serums.

  • SCENT

    Barely noticeable, just a nice clean scent that quickly dissipates upon application.

  • PACKAGING

    The dropper sometimes doesnโ€™t get enough product but maybe thatโ€™s an error on my part (maybe I didnโ€™t squeeze hard enough? haha). After a couple tries though, it does the job of sucking up enough product. Its purple glass bottle is chic and thick, and definitely a pretty addition to your skincare shelf!

  • PRODUCT MILEAGE

    Given the amount of product I squeeze on my face (roughly a pea size per cheek, and one on my forehead), this would last me at least 8 months to a year. I have other serums on rotation, and I would avoid using this during the day! Youโ€™ll get your moneyโ€™s worth!

  • ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

    Itโ€™s interesting they added retinal to this serum as it speeds up the results youโ€™ll get from using retinol. Apart from it giving your skin extra exfoliation, it contributes to even skin tone! Another active ingredient is bakuchiol, which is actually a purple flower! This ingredient stimulates cell turnover, which basically means it repairs the skin barrier efficiently. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines and leaves your skin feeling plump and supple!
