Description
Some By Mi’s Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum is a gentle retinoid serum formulated using “Re-active” technology to deliver anti-aging benefits with minimal irritation. It combines three forms of vitamin A—retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol—at beginner-friendly concentrations to stimulate collagen and elastin production, smooth out fine lines, boost elasticity, and refine pores. The formula is buffered with panthenol, beta-glucan, ceramides, Truecica™, peptides, and botanical extracts to help soothe, hydrate, and reinforce the skin barrier. This non-sticky, lightweight serum absorbs fast and doubles as a hydrating treatment.
