Product details

A purple Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream tube standing on a glossy lavender table between clear glass spheres

Firm + brighten eyes

A retinol eye cream with retinal and glutathione for fine lines, dark circles and loss of firmness.

Some By Mi’s Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream puts retinol and retinal into a lamellar cream for the thin skin around the eyes, aiming at three things: dark circles, fine lines and firmness. Glutathione and niacinamide brighten a tired-looking eye area, collagen and peptide add bounce, and panthenol, hyaluronic acid and trehalose keep it from drying out. Truecica, water lily and reishi mushroom soothe, so it suits sensitive skin.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Retinol + retinal

    Two forms of vitamin A for elasticity and smoother-looking fine lines. The retinol is kept at 0.1%, an amount Some By Mi chose so beginners can use it daily.

    No. 40, 75 of 84 on the list

  • Glutathione + niacinamide

    The brightening side of the formula, for a dull, tired-looking eye area. Niacinamide sits sixth on the list.

    No. 6, 62, 74 of 84 on the list

  • Collagen + peptide

    Collagen and a peptide for bounce, plus adenosine, the smoothing ingredient found in many Korean anti-wrinkle formulas.

    No. 54, 67, 79 of 84 on the list

  • Moisture barrier

    Panthenol, hyaluronic acid, trehalose and beta-glucan keep the eye area moist and balanced, so the retinoids don’t leave it dry.

    No. 21, 24, 47, 48 of 84 on the list

How to use

Last step, at night

  1. 1

    End your routine

    Use it in the evening as the last step of your skincare.

  2. 2

    A small amount

    Squeeze out a little and gently tap it around the eyes and anywhere fine lines bother you.

  3. 3

    Ease in

    For the first two weeks, use it once a night with plenty of moisturizer. Very sensitive skin can start every other day.

  4. 4

    Build up

    From week three, once your skin has adjusted, increase how often and how much you use.
