How much retinol does it contain?

Retinol at 0.1%, printed on the side of the tube and carried through onto SOME BY MI's own ingredient list. A second retinoid, retinal, sits at 1 ppm and appears near the end of the list. That puts it at the gentler end of what leave-on retinol products offer, which is a sensible place to be for skin as thin as the eye area, though it also means patience matters more than intensity here.

I have never used a retinoid. How do I start?

Slowly. Two or three evenings in the first fortnight, then every other evening, then nightly only once your skin has stopped reacting to it. Rushing that ramp is what causes the flaking and stinging people blame on retinol itself. SOME BY MI also asks that you try a little on some less demanding spot, behind an elbow being the usual choice, well before any lands near your eyes.

Morning, evening, or both?

Evening. SOME BY MI is direct about this: the formula can raise how sensitive your skin is to sunlight, so it belongs at the end of a night routine, and sunscreen belongs on your face during the day for as long as you keep using it. Some listings still repeat an older twice-daily instruction. The brand's current guidance is evening only, and that is the one to follow.

Can I layer it with my other retinol or acids?

Take care. This already carries two retinoids, so stacking another one, or a vitamin C, AHA or BHA, on the same stretch of skin in the same session is asking a lot of it. Alternating across the week is the calmer approach, or keeping whatever you use on your face clear of the orbital bone on the evenings this goes on.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Partly. SOME BY MI has it hypoallergenic tested and positions it as daily retinol care for sensitive skin. Against that, fragrance closes the ingredient list, and retinoids ask more of reactive skin than most steps do. We have therefore left it out of our sensitive-skin filter while keeping the brand's own suitability on record. Patch test, and give any reaction time to settle before going nightly.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

This is a retinoid product, and guidance on topical retinoids during pregnancy and breastfeeding differs between clinicians and countries. That is not a call we can make for you, so please raise it with your doctor or midwife before adding it to a routine. If you would rather not have that conversation right now, setting the tube aside until later is a perfectly reasonable choice.

Will it get rid of my dark circles?

It works on how the area looks, not on what is causing it. Where the shadow comes from surface tone, niacinamide and glutathione are the parts of this formula aimed at it. Where it comes from bone structure, hollowing, or vessels showing through skin this thin, no cream reaches that, and it is fairer to say so before you buy than after.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream is SOME BY MI's leave-on cream for the thin skin around the eyes. A narrow tapered nozzle releases a small dose of pale ivory cream, tapped along the orbital bone as the closing step of an evening routine. One 30 ml tube lasts a long time at that nightly dose.

The side of the pack prints both retinoids: retinol at 0.1% and retinal at 1 ppm. Niacinamide sits sixth on the ingredient list, and glutathione, adenosine, tranexamic acid and acetyl hexapeptide-8 appear further down, alongside centella asiatica with its madecassoside and asiaticoside. Panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, trehalose and beta-glucan carry the moisture side.

It suits anyone ready to bring a genuine retinoid to the eye area instead of a plain hydrating step. In Korea it is registered as a dual-function cosmetic covering brightening and wrinkle care. "Triple Action" is the range's own name for what it sets out to work on — it is not an ingredient, and no third retinoid is hiding behind it.

Two things worth knowing first. The formula is perfumed, with fragrance closing the list, so look elsewhere if you avoid scent. And because retinoids raise sun sensitivity, SOME BY MI asks that you keep it to the evening and wear sunscreen through the day.

Concerns & Benefits

Your Concerns

1
Fine Lines And Wrinkles
Creases at the outer corner that stay visible after your face has stopped moving.
2
Dark Circles
Shadowing that concealer settles into rather than covers by the middle of the day.

How To Use

1In the evening, after cleansing and as the final step of your routine, squeeze out a small amount and pat it gently around the eye area, working from the inner corner outwards.
2Use the pad of a finger and tap rather than rub, keeping clear of the eye itself.
3SOME BY MI recommends evening use because the formula can increase sensitivity to sunlight, and asks that sunscreen be worn during the day throughout.
4If retinoids are new to you, patch test somewhere forgiving such as the inner elbow first, then build up how often you use it as your skin settles. Avoid broken or irritated skin.

Frequently asked questions

What does "Triple Action" actually mean?

It is the product's own name, not an ingredient. The pack carries a small circled 3 above three items it sets out to work on around the eye: lines, visible signs of age, and tone that has gone uneven. Nothing extra arrives in the tube because of the phrase. Descriptions elsewhere online tie the words to three different things, so it is worth reading the ingredient list rather than the name.
