Seriously so glad I tried this product

I ordered the trial kit that came with this and the matching eye cream. I came back to buy this again and I was very surprised to see the lower rating, and honestly, the two low ratings I dont believe are quite fair. Ive been using both every night for a few weeks now. I have seen very noticeable d...

Great serum but not 1.01 oz 🥲

I was so excited to try this serum and finally got my hands on it about 2 weeks ago. I did notice that the dropper was being a bit difficult and that it wasn't grabbing a lot of product. Nonetheless, I got the few drops I could (which wasn't alot)when I'd use it. Somehow I'm already close to finish...

Good Starter

I have sensitive/combination skin and it's a challenge to find a retinol that works for my skin. Surprisingly, this Some By Mi Retinol worked just fine. Its light, not sticky, and doesn't sting vs. other brands at 0.1% Retinol I had to give up on day 1 because of the stinging pain and redness it caused. It's been a few days and so far my skin feels softer. Looking forward to the long term results with this one. And I like how the container is lightweight. It's travel friendly size so I don't have to worry about repacking or checking in bags. For a frequent traveler, this is a big plus for me.

Finally Found My Go-To Serum

Submitted 1 year ago

By jane

From LA

I've been using this serum for a few weeks now, and I can honestly say it has made such a difference in my skincare routine. The texture feels lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. I especially love how hydrated and smooth my skin feels every morning. After consistent use, I noticed my skin tone looking brighter and more even. The packaging is also very convenient and feels premium, which makes the whole experience even better. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts longer than I expected. I've tried many serums before, but this one truly stands out. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a serum that delivers real results without irritation.

The perfect option for Retinol Beginner!!

Submitted 1 year ago

By Tyra

From L.A

I've always been curious about retinol, especially as I've started noticing my skin losing some elasticity with age. But honestly, I was nervous because I heard it could make your skin worse if you don't use it properly. After doing some research (and seeing a lot of recommendations on TikTok for beginners), I finally decided to give this serum a try and I LOVE it! 💕 My skin feels so much more hydrated, and my pores look noticeably smaller. I've been using it consistently and can already see the difference. If you're new to retinol and looking for a gentle but effective option, I highly recommend starting with this serum. ✨

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
