Some By Mi

The Some By Micollection brings together the serums, toners, and targeted treatments from this Korean brand, which has become a benchmark for concentrated active ingredients: AHA, BHA, PHA, retinol, and niacinamide. This selection is suitable for blemish-prone skin, enlarged pores, and early signs of aging, two areas where Korean K-Beautycombines effectiveness with gentle formulations. The available products cover chemical exfoliation, anti-aging, and soothing, with textures designed for daily use without damaging the skin barrier.

What you'll find here is a curated selection of truly effective products, not the brand's entire catalog. Each product is chosen for its concentration of active ingredients and skin tolerance, far from the usual marketing hype surrounding Some By Mi serum. The rigor of this curation allows for a coherent routine, avoiding redundant active ingredients and unnecessary trials.

How to choose your Some By Mi product?

The choice is based on two main factors: your skin type and your primary objective, whether it's imperfections or signs of aging. Reactive skin tolerates a build-up of acids and retinol poorly in the same routine, so it's better to alternate. Toner formats are suitable for light routines, while serums are for more targeted needs.

Retinol Some By Mi: what concentration to start with?

The Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum uses encapsulated retinol with gradual release, which is more tolerable than classic retinol. Starting with 2 to 3 applications per weekin the evening limits initial irritation.

The eye cream follows the same logic with a lower concentration, adapted to a thinner and more sensitive area.

Toner or serum Some By Mi: which one first?

The toner is applied as the first step after cleansing; it prepares the skin and enhances the absorption of subsequent active ingredients. The concentrated serum then follows, in a more targeted layer.

Using both is not redundant: the toner hydrates and the serum treats; they play two different roles in the routine.

Some By Mi for oily or dry skin?

AHA BHA PHA formulas are better suited for oily or acne-prone skin, thanks to their exfoliating and sebum-regulating action. Dry skin tolerates the retinol range better, as it is richer in soothing active ingredients.

In both cases, dehydrated skin reacts poorly to a build-up of exfoliants, so it's better to space out applications.

What is the best Some By Mi product?

The choice mainly depends on your primary goal. For exfoliation and tightened pores, the Some By Mi - AHA, BHA, PHA 30 Days Miracle Serumremains the brand's benchmark, with 3 acids at progressive concentrations. For anti-aging, the Some By Mi - Retinol Intense Reactivating Serumand the Some By Mi - Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Creamtarget the face and eye contour respectively with a gradual-release retinol, which is gentler than pure retinol. If you have sensitive skin or are new to active ingredients, start with just one product and introduce it gradually.

      Holy Skin's Tips for Making the Right Choice

      Cédric, co-founder of Holy Skin, closely monitors purchasing trends for Korean active ingredient brands like Some By Mi.

      "The classic reflex is to want to try everything at once: an acidic toner, a retinol serum, and an anti-blemish cream. With Some By Mi, it's better to choose one product per objective and give it 3 to 4 weeks before judging the results."

      This approach prevents irritations caused by combining too many active ingredients and allows you to truly measure the effect of each product on your skin. To refine your choice, take our free skin diagnostic.

      Is Some By Mi a Korean brand?

      Each product should first be used on its own, preferably in the evening for active ingredients like retinol or AHA BHA PHA acids. Allow 3 to 4 weeksbefore adding a second product to your routine.

      Apply to clean, dry skin, followed by a moisturizer to minimize the feeling of tightness during the first few days.

      Where are Some By Mi products made?

      No, very reactive skin or skin undergoing dermatological treatment, especially prescribed retinoids, should avoid combining retinol sources without medical advice.

      For other skin types, a gradual introduction, once or twice a weekinitially, helps limit redness and flaking while the skin adjusts.

      checkbox

      Can Some By Mi be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

      Retinol is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including in encapsulated form. This applies to the retinol serums and eye contour cream in the range.

      AHA BHA PHA toners and serums, on the other hand, can be used after discussing them with your midwife or dermatologist if you have any doubts.

      Where can I find Some By Mi products in France?

      During the introductory phase, 2 to 3 applications per weekin the evening are enough to accustom the skin to the three combined acids.

      Once tolerance is established, daily use becomes possible, provided that sunscreen is systematically applied the following morning, as acids increase the photosensitivity of sun-exposed skin.
