Description

SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Trial Kit offers a gentle way to start your retinol journey with two perfect travel-sized products. This beginner-friendly kit combines a serum and eye cream that work together to help smooth fine lines, brighten skin, and support skin elasticity. Made with a blend of retinol, retinal, and plant-based bakuchiol, these formulas are crafted to be kind to sensitive skin while still giving visible results. The trial sizes let you test these products without committing to full bottles, making it ideal for first-time retinol users or anyone who wants to see how these gentle yet effective formulas work for their skin.

A Gentle Start to Your Retinol Journey

This trial kit brings together two skin-loving products in travel-friendly sizes. The Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum (10ml) and Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream (10ml) work as a team to help your skin look smoother and brighter. What makes this kit special is how it's made for all skin types - even sensitive ones. Many people worry about trying retinol for the first time, but SOME BY MI has created a formula that helps reduce the chance of redness or irritation.

The secret is in the mix of ingredients. Along with retinol, these products use retinal and bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol option) to give your skin the benefits of vitamin A without the harsh effects. The serum helps your whole face, while the eye cream works on the delicate skin around your eyes to help with dark circles and fine lines.

Kind to Your Skin, Tough on Signs of Aging

The SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Trial Kit stands out because it's both gentle and effective. The serum and eye cream are made to help with fine lines, boost skin firmness, and make your skin feel bouncy and fresh again. What's great is they do this without being harsh or sticky. The formulas sink in quickly and don't leave a greasy feeling behind.

Both products in this kit have soothing ingredients like panthenol and hyaluronic acid that help keep your skin feeling calm and hydrated. This means you get the skin-smoothing benefits of retinol without the dryness that often comes with it. Users with sensitive skin have shared that they saw good results with very little to no irritation - a big win for those who've been scared to try retinol before.

  • Improves skin elasticity and helps reduce fine lines
  • Brightens skin tone and helps with dark circles
  • Keeps skin hydrated and comfortable
  • Non-sticky feel that absorbs quickly

What's Inside These Tiny But Mighty Products

The Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum combines three powerhouse ingredients: retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol. Together, they help encourage skin renewal without overwhelming your skin. The serum also has Truecica™, a special complex that helps calm and support your skin barrier. This means your skin stays protected while the active ingredients do their work.

The Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream focuses on the delicate eye area with the same gentle retinol blend. It adds niacinamide and tranexamic acid, two star ingredients that help brighten dark circles and even out skin tone. Both products use what SOME BY MI calls Elastic-Liposome technology, which helps the good stuff get deeper into your skin where it can work best.

  • Free from 20 types of harmful ingredients
  • Dermatologically tested for safety
  • Vegan and cruelty-free
  • Minimal fragrance that won't bother sensitive noses

How to Make These Products Work for You

Using this kit is simple. In the evening after washing your face, apply a small amount of the Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum to your whole face. Follow with your regular moisturizer if needed. Then, tap a tiny bit (about the size of a grain of rice) of the Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream around your eyes, starting from the inner corners and moving outward.

When first starting out, use these products just 2-3 times a week. Your skin needs time to get used to retinol, even in this gentle form. As your skin adjusts, you can slowly use them more often. Always use sunscreen during the day, as retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. This kit is perfect for beginners or for travel, giving you enough product to see how your skin responds before investing in the full sizes.

  • Use in your evening routine only
  • Start with 2-3 times weekly and gradually increase
  • Apply to clean, dry skin
  • Always use sunscreen during the day

Perfect For All Skin Types Year-Round

One of the best things about the SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Trial Kit is how it works for so many different people. Whether you have dry, oily, combination, or normal skin, these products can fit into your routine. They're especially good if you're starting to notice fine lines or if your skin doesn't look as bright and firm as it used to.

The kit works well in any season. In winter, the hydrating ingredients help fight dryness. In summer, the brightening effects help give your skin a healthy glow. Just remember to pair with sunscreen during sunny months. The small size makes this kit perfect for travel or for simply testing these formulas before committing to full-size products. It's an easy, low-risk way to see if these gentle retinol products are right for your skin.

  • Suitable for all skin types including sensitive
  • Works year-round with proper sun protection
  • Perfect size for travel or first-time testing
  • Helps with both prevention and early signs of aging

How to Use

Begin by thoroughly cleansing your face before applying a moderate amount of the Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum evenly across your entire face. Follow with your preferred moisturizer if needed. In your evening routine, gently apply the Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream around the eye area, starting from the inner corners and moving outward. Use the products 2-3 times per week initially, gradually increasing frequency as your skin adjusts. Store the products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keeping them tightly closed when not in use to maintain efficacy. The serum is suitable for several weeks to months of use depending on the frequency, while the eye cream lasts longer due to smaller daily application amounts. For optimal results and safety, use broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, avoid harsh exfoliants or other retinoids concurrently, and build tolerance gradually for sensitive skin types.

What does it do?

A short introduction to the line.

Two steps, small sizes, and no need to rush.

Two steps, in order

The serum first across the face, then a small amount of eye cream around the eyes.

Ten millilitres of each

Enough to settle the products into a routine, small enough to travel with.

A slow start is fine

Two or three evenings a week is a reasonable rhythm when retinoids are new to you.
