Dealing with fine lines, stubborn dark circles, or a loss of firmness around the eyes can feel discouraging. This advanced eye cream from SOME BY MI is a powerful, multi-action treatment designed to visibly rejuvenate the delicate eye area. Formulated with a potent blend of next-generation retinoids and brightening agents, it works overnight to smooth texture, diminish the look of shadows, and restore a firmer, more youthful appearance, all while being suitable for the Mauritian climate when used correctly with sun protection.

Seeing the first signs of aging or stubborn shadows around the eyes is a common concern. This cream offers a targeted, evidence-based approach to help restore a brighter, smoother appearance.

• Who it's for: Individuals looking to address visible signs of aging around the eyes, including fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles (both brown and blue/purple tones), and loss of elasticity.
• What it does: This potent formula combines 0.1% Retinal, Retinol, Niacinamide, and Tranexamic Acid to accelerate skin turnover, brighten pigmentation, and support collagen for a firmer, more even-toned eye area.
• Key Ingredients: Retinal (0.1%), Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, Peptides, Plant-based Collagen.
• Texture & Finish: A nourishing yet non-heavy cream that absorbs well without leaving a greasy residue.
• Best for: Normal, Combination, Oily, and mature skin types. Dry skin can use it with a richer moisturizer. Not recommended for highly sensitive skin without a patch test, or during pregnancy/breastfeeding.

This is a powerful treatment for evening use only. Always use sunscreen in the morning.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT (PM Only): After your toner/serum, gently pat a tiny amount (half a rice grain per eye) around the orbital bone. See "How to Use" for starting frequency.
3. Moisturiser (PM) / Sunscreen (AM): Follow with a moisturiser at night. The next morning, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ is essential to protect your skin and results.

Mindful Note: Already own an eye cream? Finish that one first before opening a new one to prevent waste and give your current product a fair chance to work.

This eye cream contains retinoids and should only be used at night. Your morning routine should focus on hydration and sun protection.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser or Water Rinse → 2) Moisturiser (optional, if needed) → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+.
• Optional Additions: A hydrating serum (like one with Hyaluronic Acid or Snail Mucin) can be applied before your moisturiser for extra plumpness. A Vitamin C serum can provide antioxidant protection that complements your sunscreen.
• Critical Step: Sunscreen is non-negotiable when using retinoids. It protects the new, delicate skin cells and prevents the UV damage that causes aging in the first place.

• Minimalist (3-4 steps): 1) Double-Cleanse (Oil Cleanser → Water-Based Cleanser) to remove sunscreen and impurities → 2) Hydrating Toner/Serum (optional, helps buffer) → 3) THIS PRODUCT → 4) Moisturiser to lock everything in.
• Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest to the thickest consistency. This eye cream goes on before your final face cream.
• Important: Do not use other strong exfoliants (like high-concentration AHA/BHA products) on the same night you use this eye cream, especially when you are starting out.

PM Use Only.

• Amount: Use a very small amount—about half a grain of rice for each eye. Using too much can increase the risk of irritation and milia.
• Apply to: Gently tap the cream along your orbital bone (the bone around your eye socket), from the inner to the outer corner. Avoid applying it directly on your mobile eyelid or too close to your lower lash line, as the product will naturally migrate slightly.
• Method: Use your ring finger for the gentlest pressure. Pat, do not rub.
• Wait time: Allow it to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying your face moisturiser.

Frequency & Introduction (Very Important):

• Weeks 1-2: Use only 2-3 times per week (e.g., Monday and Thursday nights) to allow your skin to acclimatise.
• Weeks 3+: If your skin shows no signs of irritation, you can gradually increase the frequency to every other night, and then to every night if tolerated.
• The "Sandwich Method" for sensitive skin: Apply a thin layer of simple moisturiser, let it dry, apply the eye cream, then apply another layer of moisturiser on top. This buffers the retinoid and reduces potential irritation.

Watchouts:

• Purging: Retinoids can accelerate skin cell turnover, which may cause a temporary increase in small bumps or breakouts. This should subside within a few weeks. If you experience burning or a rash, stop use.
• Photosensitivity: Retinoids make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential to prevent sunburn and protect your results.
• Milia: If you are prone to milia (small white bumps), be extra careful to use only the tiniest amount of product.

Safety: Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Stop use immediately if a burning rash develops. Not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. For teens, focus on a basic routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF; avoid potent actives like this unless guided by a clinician.

Because this eye cream contains a potent retinoid, it's best to alternate it with other strong actives. Here is an example PM schedule for a beginner:

• Monday: THIS PRODUCT
• Tuesday: Soothing/Hydrating Night (no strong actives)
• Wednesday: Exfoliant (e.g., AHA/BHA serum, if you use one)
• Thursday: THIS PRODUCT
• Friday: Soothing/Hydrating Night
• Saturday: Soothing/Hydrating Night or a Sleeping Pack
• Sunday: THIS PRODUCT

Key Rules:

• One Strong Active Per Night: Do not use this eye cream on the same night as other strong retinoids or exfoliating acids (like glycolic or high-strength salicylic acid).
• Listen to Your Skin: If you experience dryness or irritation, reduce the frequency and add more "soothing nights" into your routine. The goal is consistency without compromising your skin barrier.

Mauritius Note: The high UV index in Mauritius makes daily sunscreen application a critical part of any retinoid routine. Your progress will be undermined without consistent sun protection.

Patience and consistency are key, especially with retinoids and brightening ingredients. Individual results will vary.

• Immediate (First use - 1 week): The eye area may feel more hydrated and nourished due to the cream's moisturising base. Some users may experience mild dryness or sensitivity as their skin adjusts.
• 2-4 Weeks: Skin texture around the eyes may begin to feel smoother. Some initial brightening of dark circles might become noticeable. If purging occurs, it typically happens within this timeframe and should start to subside.
• 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, you can expect to see a more visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dark circles and uneven tone should appear more significantly brightened. The skin may feel firmer and more resilient.

(Evidence: Based on the ingredient rationale for Retinal, which typically shows visible results on texture and fine lines within 4-12 weeks.)

• Instead of thinking "retinoids will thin my skin"...
  Understand that cosmetic retinoids like Retinal actually do the opposite. They accelerate cell turnover and stimulate collagen production in the dermis, which leads to thicker, firmer, and more resilient skin over time. The initial peeling or flaking is just the shedding of old, dead surface cells, not the thinning of healthy skin.
• Instead of believing "eye creams are just expensive moisturizers"...
  Recognize that well-formulated eye creams like this one are highly specialized. They contain a potent concentration of actives (like 0.1% Retinal) that may be too strong for the entire face, delivered in a base designed for the delicate, thin skin around the eyes to minimize irritation and milia risk.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrating Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Panthenol, and Beta-Glucan. Applying this eye cream over a hydrating toner or serum can enhance hydration and buffer the retinoid.
  • Niacinamide: This product already contains Niacinamide. Using other niacinamide products in your routine is generally fine and can enhance brightening and barrier-support benefits.
  • Peptides: Peptides work well with retinoids to support skin firmness and structure.
• Use With Caution:
  • Other Exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs): Avoid using them on the same night. Alternate evenings to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation. For example, use your AHA/BHA serum on Monday and this eye cream on Tuesday.
  • Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid): It is best to use Vitamin C in the morning and this retinoid eye cream at night to ensure optimal efficacy and minimize potential irritation.
• Avoid On:
  • Mobile Eyelids & Lash Line: Do not apply directly to your eyelids or too close to your lashes to prevent irritation.
  • Broken or Irritated Skin: Wait until your skin barrier is healthy and intact before using this product.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. The cream texture is nourishing but not overly heavy, and the active ingredients help with texture and post-acne marks that can appear around the eyes.
• Normal Skin: Excellent. Provides a perfect balance of treatment and moisture for maintaining a youthful eye area.
• Dry Skin: Good. You may need to layer a richer, more occlusive moisturiser over it to ensure sufficient hydration and prevent dryness from the retinoid.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. The 0.1% Retinal is potent. A thorough patch test is essential. Start with the "sandwich method" (moisturiser before and after) and use only 1-2 times per week initially.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Good. Retinoids can help with skin texture, but be aware that some of the oils in the formula could be a trigger for those prone to comedones or fungal acne. Individual responses will vary.

• Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Retinal and Retinol work to speed up cell turnover and boost collagen, visibly smoothing the appearance of crow's feet and other expression lines. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Dark Circles: A triple-action approach targets shadows. Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, and Glutathione help inhibit melanin production to fade brown, pigmented circles, while improved skin thickness from retinoids can make blue/purple vascular circles less visible. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Loss of Firmness: The combination of retinoids and a peptide complex helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to a firmer, more lifted appearance over time. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Dullness & Uneven Texture: The exfoliating nature of retinoids helps to resurface the skin, revealing a brighter and smoother texture. (Ingredient Rationale)

• Official Korean Name: 썸바이미 레티놀 인텐스 어드밴스드 트리플 액션 아이크림 (Some By Mi Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream)

Key Actives Explained:

• Retinal (0.1%): A powerful, next-generation form of Vitamin A. It converts to retinoic acid in just one step (compared to two steps for retinol), making it act faster and more potently to smooth wrinkles and improve skin texture.
• Retinol & Bakuchiol: A gentler form of Vitamin A that works synergistically with retinal to support skin renewal with a lower risk of irritation. Bakuchiol is a plant-based compound with similar effects.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that brightens skin tone, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps fade dark circles and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
• Tranexamic Acid & Glutathione: A powerful duo for tackling hyperpigmentation. They work by interrupting the pathways that create excess melanin, making them highly effective for brown-toned dark circles and sun spots.
• Peptide Complex & Plant-based Collagen: Supports the skin's structure by signaling it to produce more of its own collagen, helping to improve firmness and elasticity.
• Panthenol & Hyaluronic Acid: Provide essential hydration and soothe the skin, helping to counteract potential dryness from the retinoids and keep the delicate eye area comfortable.

• Fragrance: This product contains added fragrance. The scent is generally described as light and pleasant, but may be a concern for those with fragrance sensitivities.
• EU Allergens: The brand has not declared any of the 26 standard EU allergens in the official ingredient list. However, patch testing is always advised for sensitive skin.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Triggers: This formula contains several ingredients that could potentially trigger fungal acne, including Polysorbate 60, Olive Oil, Camellia Seed Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, and various fatty acids (Palmitic, Stearic, Myristic). If you are prone to fungal acne, please patch test carefully.

Who should use with caution:

• Individuals with highly sensitive or reactive skin.
• Those prone to milia.
• Anyone new to retinoids.

Who should NOT use:

• This product is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the presence of retinoids.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a tiny amount of the cream to a small, discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner arm.
2. Wait for 24 hours. Check for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, apply a tiny amount near the orbital bone on one side of your face.
4. Wait another 24-48 hours. If the skin remains calm, you can begin incorporating it into your routine as directed in the "How to Use" section.

If irritation occurs: Stop using the product immediately. Cleanse the area with a gentle cleanser and apply a soothing, barrier-repairing cream. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.

• Texture: A smooth, medium-weight cream. It spreads easily without being too thick or runny.
• Finish: Absorbs into the skin leaving a nourished, slightly dewy finish that is not greasy or sticky.
• Scent: Contains a light, fresh fragrance. Intensity is low (approx. 2/5).
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but retinoid formulations typically have a pH between 5.0 and 6.5 for stability and efficacy.
• Comedogenicity: Contains some ingredients that could be comedogenic for highly susceptible individuals. As with all products, individual responses may vary.

• Issue: Irritation, redness, or peeling.
  • Solution: You may be using it too frequently or using too much. Reduce frequency to 1-2 times per week and ensure you are only using a half-rice-grain amount per eye. Try the "sandwich method" (applying moisturiser before and after the eye cream) to buffer the active ingredients.
• Issue: The product is pilling or balling up.
  • Solution: This usually means you've applied too much product or haven't allowed previous layers to absorb. Use a smaller amount and gently pat it in. Wait at least 1-2 minutes before applying your face moisturiser.
• Issue: Small white bumps (milia) are appearing.
  • Solution: Milia can be caused by creams that are too rich or heavy for the delicate eye area. Reduce the amount you apply to the absolute minimum needed to cover the area. Ensure you are applying it to the orbital bone, not directly under the lash line.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after 8 weeks.
  • Solution: Ensure you are using the product consistently and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single morning. Sun exposure will counteract any progress made by the retinoids and brightening agents. Results take time; continue consistent use for at least 12 weeks for full effects.

• Humidity: The cream's texture is well-suited for Mauritius's humid nights, as it provides nourishment without feeling heavy or suffocating. You may find you need an even smaller amount during the very humid summer months.
• Sun Exposure: This is a PM-only product. The high UV index in Mauritius makes daily sunscreen (SPF 30+, broad-spectrum) an absolute necessity when using this eye cream. Failure to protect your skin from the sun will not only negate the product's benefits but can also lead to increased sensitivity and potential damage.
• Air Conditioning: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments, which can be drying, this cream's nourishing formula will help keep the delicate eye area hydrated and protected overnight.

This eye cream is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are visible fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles, and you are ready for a potent retinoid treatment. However, other options in our catalog might be a better fit depending on your specific needs and skin sensitivity.

• For a Gentler Retinoid Introduction: Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal 30ml — Choose this if you're new to retinoids or have more sensitive skin. It also features Retinal but is formulated in a deeply hydrating ginseng base known for its gentleness and anti-inflammatory properties.
• To Focus Purely on Dark Circles (Pigmentation): MARY&MAY Tranexamic Acid+Glutathion Eye Cream 30ml — Choose this if your main concern is brown, pigmented dark circles and you want to avoid retinoids. This formula specifically targets melanin production with Tranexamic Acid and Glutathione for powerful brightening results.
• For a Retinoid-Free Firming & Hydrating Option: COSRX Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream — Choose this if you want to target puffiness and fine lines without using Vitamin A. It combines snail mucin for intense hydration and repair with a 5-peptide complex to improve firmness and elasticity.
• For a Plant-Based Retinol Alternative: Haruharu WONDER Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream 20ml — Choose this if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or prefer a vegan, plant-based approach. Bakuchiol is a natural ingredient clinically shown to provide effects similar to retinol without the same potential for irritation.

Mindful Use Reminder: If you already have a comparable eye cream at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you get a fair assessment of its results and reduces waste.

• Packaging: The product comes in a 30ml opaque plastic tube with a thin nozzle applicator. This hygienic design protects the light- and air-sensitive retinoids from degradation and allows for precise, controlled dispensing.
• Sustainability: The plastic tube and cap are made from materials that may be recyclable (check with local Mauritian recycling facilities). The outer box is made of recyclable cardboard.
• Storage: To maintain the potency of the retinoids, store the tube in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat, such as a cabinet or drawer. Refrigeration is not necessary but can help prolong stability.
• Travel: The 30ml size is travel-friendly and compliant with airline regulations for carry-on liquids. The secure cap prevents leakage.

(Anecdote/Aggregated sentiment from online communities. Individual results may vary.)

• "I have been using this for a month now. My dark circles have visibly lightened, and the fine lines are less noticeable. It's a bit strong, so I started twice a week, but now I use it every other night without issues." — YesStyle review (2024-05)
• "This is quite a thick cream but it absorbs nicely and doesn't feel greasy. I've noticed my under-eye area is much more hydrated and plump in the mornings. You only need the smallest dot, so this tube will last forever." — Amazon customer review (2024-03)
• A Reddit user on r/AsianBeauty noted that while it was effective for their fine lines, they had to be careful with application. "It did cause some dryness when I first started, but the sandwich method really helped. Definitely use a good moisturizer with it." — Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (thread 2024-04)
• Fair Caveat: A common piece of feedback is the need for a slow introduction. Several users who applied it nightly from the start reported temporary dryness and peeling, which resolved when they reduced the frequency.

Retinal (Retinaldehyde)

A potent form of Vitamin A that is one step closer to Retinoic Acid (the active form in the skin) than Retinol, allowing it to work faster and more effectively for anti-aging.

Retinol

The most common over-the-counter form of Vitamin A. It requires a two-step conversion in the skin to become active. It helps with wrinkles, acne, and skin texture.

Niacinamide

A form of Vitamin B3 that helps brighten skin, reduce the appearance of pores, control oil, and strengthen the skin barrier.

Tranexamic Acid

An ingredient that helps to fade discoloration, particularly dark spots and melasma, by interfering with melanin production.

Peptides

Short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks for proteins like collagen and elastin. In skincare, they signal the skin to repair itself, improving firmness and reducing wrinkles.

Adenosine

A yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a soothing and skin-restoring agent. It has proven anti-wrinkle benefits and is a functional ingredient certified by the MFDS.

MFDS

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea (formerly KFDA), the regulatory body that approves and classifies cosmetic products based on their function, such as "wrinkle-improvement" or "brightening."

PAO (Period After Opening)

The symbol (an open jar with a number like "12M") on cosmetic packaging that indicates how many months the product will remain stable and effective after it has been opened.

PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)

The dark spots or marks left behind on the skin after a pimple, wound, or other irritation has healed. It is more common in melanin-rich skin.

Is 0.1% Retinal too strong for a beginner?

It is a potent concentration, which is why a slow introduction is crucial. If you are new to retinoids, start by using it only twice a week and consider the "sandwich method" (applying it between layers of a simple moisturiser) to reduce potential irritation. If your skin is extremely sensitive, you may want to start with a gentler alternative.

How is Retinal different from Retinol?

Retinal (or Retinaldehyde) is a more advanced form of Vitamin A than Retinol. It requires only one conversion step in the skin to become Retinoic Acid (the form cells use), while Retinol requires two steps. This means Retinal can work faster and more efficiently, offering potentially more significant results for wrinkles and texture.

Can this eye cream cause milia?

Any rich cream can potentially contribute to milia in those who are prone to them. To minimize the risk, use the smallest possible amount (half a rice grain per eye) and gently pat it onto the orbital bone, avoiding the area directly under the lash line.

Is this product safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

No. Due to the presence of retinoids (Retinal and Retinol), this product is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding as a precautionary measure.

Can I use this cream on other parts of my face, like my smile lines?

While it is formulated for the eye area, some people use retinoid eye creams as a spot treatment on other expression lines. If you choose to do so, apply it with the same caution: introduce it slowly and monitor for irritation. Always wear sunscreen on those areas during the day.
