Now Available at Skin Cart — Nairobi’s Premier Korean Skincare & Active Ingredient Beauty Store!
What Is It?
The SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum 30ml is a groundbreaking, multi-generational Vitamin A serum from the globally celebrated Korean skincare brand SOME BY MI — and it is genuinely unlike any other retinol product on the market today.
What sets this serum apart from every ordinary retinol product is its extraordinary triple Vitamin A complex — it simultaneously contains Retinol, Retinal (Retinaldehyde), AND Bakuchiol in a single formula, alongside an exceptional supporting cast of skin-renewing, soothing, and nourishing ingredients. This powerful combination is delivered through pioneering Elastic-Liposome Technology that drives active ingredients deeper into the skin for maximum efficacy — while keeping irritation to a minimum so that even those with sensitive skin can benefit.
This is not just a serum — it is a comprehensive skin reactivation system that tackles wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, uneven tone, loss of firmness, and dullness — all at once, with the gentleness that K-Beauty is celebrated for worldwide.
Now available at Skin Cart Nairobi — one of the most advanced retinol serums in the world, right here in your city!
The Triple Vitamin A Powerhouse — A World First
What makes the SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum truly extraordinary is that it contains three distinct forms of Vitamin A working in perfect synergy:
1. Retinol (0.1%)
The classic, gold-standard form of Vitamin A found in the most trusted anti-ageing products worldwide. At 0.1%, it delivers proven, clinically validated skin renewal with manageable tolerance:
- Accelerates skin cell turnover — pushing new, healthy cells to the surface faster
- Stimulates collagen production — visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles over time
- Unclogs pores — prevents the cellular buildup inside pores that leads to blackheads and acne
- Reduces hyperpigmentation — breaks down melanin clusters that cause dark spots and uneven tone
- Refines skin texture — smooths rough, bumpy or uneven skin surface
2. Retinal (Retinaldehyde)
The next-generation, superior form of Vitamin A that sits one step closer to active Retinoic Acid in the conversion ladder — making it significantly more potent and up to 11 times faster acting than standard retinol:
- Requires only one conversion step in the skin (vs. two for retinol), delivering faster and more impactful results
- More effective at stimulating collagen synthesis and accelerating skin cell renewal than retinol
- Despite being significantly more powerful, it remains gentler than prescription-strength Tretinoin
- Enhances and amplifies the retinol in the formula for a comprehensive, multi-speed Vitamin A release
3. Bakuchiol — The Natural Vitamin A Alternative
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived active extracted from Psoralea corylifolia seeds — celebrated in both Ayurvedic medicine and modern dermatology as a natural, gentle alternative to retinol that delivers similar skin-renewing benefits:
- Clinically proven to reduce wrinkles and fine lines comparably to retinol in independent studies
- Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory — soothes, protects, and calms the skin while the retinoids work
- Completely safe for pregnancy — unlike conventional retinoids
- Works synergistically with Retinol and Retinal to provide gentler initiation and longer-lasting results
- Increases the overall retinoid tolerance of the formula — significantly reducing the risk of irritation, peeling, or sensitivity
Together, this Retinol + Retinal + Bakuchiol Trinity creates a serum that delivers Vitamin A benefits across multiple speeds and pathways simultaneously — faster results, broader coverage, and dramatically lower irritation than any single-retinoid formula could achieve.
Elastic-Liposome Delivery Technology
The SOME BY MI formula employs cutting-edge Elastic-Liposome Technology — one of the most advanced skincare delivery systems available:
- Liposomes are microscopic, lipid-based spheres that encapsulate the active ingredients (Retinol, Retinal, Bakuchiol) in a protective shell that mirrors the structure of the skin’s own cell membranes
- “Elastic” liposomes are specifically engineered to be more flexible and deformable than conventional liposomes, allowing them to squeeze through the tight junctions between skin cells and penetrate significantly deeper into the skin
- This deeper penetration means the active ingredients reach the dermal layer where they can most effectively stimulate collagen production and cellular renewal
- The liposome shell also ensures a controlled, sustained release of the actives over time — prolonging their effectiveness and reducing surface irritation
- The result: maximum efficacy deep in the skin with minimum irritation on the surface — the perfect combination for consistent, comfortable daily use
The Extraordinary Supporting Ingredient Cast
Beyond the headline triple Vitamin A complex and liposome technology, the SOME BY MI formula contains an exceptional array of supporting actives that make this serum a genuinely complete skin renewal treatment:

| Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 | Collagen-stimulating peptide for firming and wrinkle reduction |
| Soybean Peptide | Skin-firming and hydrating peptide |

| Moringa Seed Oil | Nourishing, antioxidant, skin-conditioning |

How to Use — Step-by-Step
For Beginners — Start Slow and Build:
Weeks 1–2 (Introduction Phase):
- Apply a small, pea-sized amount of serum to cleansed skin once daily — evening only
- This allows your skin to acclimatise to the triple Vitamin A complex without overwhelming it
- Follow immediately with a rich moisturiser to support the skin barrier
Week 3 and Beyond (Build-Up Phase):
- Gradually increase the amount and frequency of application as your skin builds tolerance
- Progress toward daily evening use and eventually, if skin tolerates well, morning use too
Application Method:
- Cleanse face thoroughly and pat dry
- Apply a moderate amount of the serum evenly across the face
- Gently spread with upward, outward strokes — avoid the immediate eye area
- Allow to fully absorb before applying moisturiser
- Always follow with SPF 30+ sunscreen in the morning — non-negotiable with any Vitamin A product
Important Cautions:
- Patch test first — apply a small amount to the inner wrist or behind the ear for 24–48 hours before full facial use
- Avoid after laser treatments — skin is more sensitive post-laser; wait until fully recovered
- Do not use alongside physical or chemical peels on the same day — this combination can cause over-exfoliation
- Recommended for evening use — retinoids can be photosensitised; always wear SPF during the day
