Is SOME BY MI Retinol Serum right for your skin?
Best for
- Adults noticing fine lines, rough texture or a dull, uneven look
- Skin that has used gentle actives before and is ready for a retinoid
- Anyone who wants a single retinoid serum rather than several actives
Skip it, or patch-test first, if
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding: ask your doctor first before using any retinoid
- Your skin barrier feels raw, peeling or sunburnt: let it calm down first
- You already use another retinoid or strong exfoliating acids on the same nights
How do you use SOME BY MI Retinol Serum?
Evening
- Cleanse and let your skin dry fully.
- Press 2–3 drops of serum into the face, avoiding the eyes, lips and nose creases.
- Seal with a calming moisturiser.
Start 2–3 nights a week. Build up slowly over several weeks only if your skin stays calm, and wear sunscreen every morning.
What are the key ingredients in SOME BY MI Retinol Serum?
- Retinol — a vitamin A ingredient used for the look of fine lines, smoother texture and a more even tone
- Retinal (retinaldehyde) — another form of vitamin A, one step closer to the active form than retinol
- Bakuchiol — a plant ingredient often paired with retinol for a gentler-feeling routine
How can you tell if your SOME BY MI Retinol Serum is original?
- The box should be sealed, with the SOME BY MI name and ingredient list printed clearly; blurred print or spelling mistakes suggest a copy.
- The serum should be smooth and even with a faint smell; a separated or strongly perfumed liquid is a warning sign.
- A price far below other trusted sellers usually means old stock or a fake.
- Check the batch code printed on the box and the bottle: the two must match, and the code should look printed, not stuck on. Every unit we sell is batch-code checked on arrival in Seoul, and we verify any code for free — see how to check if Korean skincare is original.

Is SOME BY MI retinol serum good for beginners?
Yes, if you start slowly. Use it 2–3 nights a week for the first weeks, on dry skin, with a calming moisturiser on top. Some dryness or tingling at first is common; stop if your skin burns or peels. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
Can I use SOME BY MI retinol with AHA BHA PHA products?
Yes, but not on the same night at first. Use the retinol serum one night and an exfoliating acid such as the SOME BY MI Miracle Toner on a different night. Using both together raises the risk of redness and peeling. Keep sunscreen daily.
Is SOME BY MI retinol serum safe in pregnancy?
It contains retinoids (retinol and retinal). If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor first before using it. Many people pause retinoids during this time and use gentler products, such as niacinamide or hydrating serums, instead.
What is the difference between retinol and retinal?
Both are forms of vitamin A. Retinal is one step closer to the form skin uses, so it is usually seen as stronger and faster-acting than retinol. This serum combines them, which is why a slow start of 2–3 nights a week matters.
