How to Use

Frequency: PM Only.

Start slow! Use 2-3 nights a week for the first 2 weeks. If your skin is happy, you can gradually increase usage to every other night.

1. After cleansing and toning, apply a pea-sized amount of the Retinol Intense Serum to your dry face.
2. Gently pat until absorbed, avoiding the direct eye and lip areas.
3. Follow with a small amount of the Retinol Intense Eye Cream, tapping gently around the orbital bone.
4. Always finish with a nourishing moisturizer to lock everything in.
5. IMPORTANT: You must wear sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every single morning. This is non-negotiable!

Expert Tips & Rules

• The Perfect Partners (DO): Pair this kit with moisturizers rich in ceramides or hyaluronic acid to keep your skin barrier strong and hydrated. For extra sensitive skin, try the “sandwich method”: moisturizer -> retinol -> moisturizer.
• Things to Avoid (DON’T): Do not mix with Vitamin C, AHAs, or BHAs in the same routine. This can lead to over-exfoliation and sensitivity. Use them on alternate nights, or use Vitamin C in the morning.
• Who Should Skip It: Avoid retinoids if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult a doctor first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the SOME BY MI Retinol Kit good for acne?

A: Yes! Retinol is fantastic for acne-prone skin. It helps to speed up cell turnover, which prevents pores from getting clogged. This formula also helps fade the appearance of post-acne marks for a clearer complexion over time.

Q: I have sensitive skin, can I use this?

A: This kit is specifically designed as a gentle introduction to retinol, making it a great option for many with sensitive skin. However, we always recommend a patch test first. Start by using it just once or twice a week and listen to your skin.
