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.

Apply to clean, dry skin, gently patting into the face and neck—avoid eyes and mouth.

Follow with a moisturizer to hydrate and buffer potential dryness.

Morning routine: always apply broad‑spectrum SPF, as retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
