Some By Mi Retinol Eye Cream — retinol is the best-evidenced ingredient for fine lines, and the eye area is where fine lines usually appear first — but it is also the thinnest skin on the face and the least forgiving of irritation.
Some By Mi’s formulation works around that with a supporting cream base substantial enough to buffer the retinol.
Best for
Fine lines and crepiness around the eyes.
How to use Some By Mi Retinol Eye Cream
Start twice weekly at night with a small amount along the orbital bone, building up as tolerated. Expect some initial dryness.
Do not use
While pregnant or breastfeeding. Sunscreen daily throughout.
What is in it
Retinol
Retinol asks for patience and a little discipline. Start twice a week at night, on dry skin, and build up only when your face stops protesting. The early dryness and flaking are normal and pass. What you cannot skip is daytime sunscreen: retinol thins the outermost layer while it renews what is underneath, and unprotected sun undoes the work. Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should leave retinoids alone entirely. Background reading on retinol if you want the chemistry behind it.
What to use it with
The eye area sits within a routine rather than apart from it, so the products around it matter. From the rest of our range, APLB Hyaluronic Acid Ceramide HA B5 Ampoule Serum and APLB AHA BHA PHA Centella Facial Cream are sensible companions, and both are stocked with the same cash-on-delivery terms.
Where it fits in your routine
Eye products go on after serum and before or instead of moisturiser around the orbital area. Use a small amount — genuinely small — and tap it along the bone rather than rubbing it into the lid, because product migrates upward overnight and ends up in your eyes. The skin here is the thinnest on the face, so anything active belongs at a lower strength and a lower frequency than you would use elsewhere.
Before you start
This is a night product. Start twice a week, build up slowly, and stop increasing the moment skin starts to feel tight rather than dry. Sunscreen the following morning is not optional. Do not use retinoids while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Common questions
Is Some By Mi Retinol Eye Cream authentic?
Yes. Euros Belle stocks sealed, unopened units sourced through the brand’s own distribution, and we do not sell testers, decants or refilled packaging. Every order is checked before it leaves us, and you are welcome to inspect the seal at the door before paying.
Can I pay cash on delivery?
Cash on delivery is the only payment method we offer — there is nothing to pay in advance and no card details to enter anywhere. You pay the delivery agent when the parcel reaches you. Inside Dhaka delivery is ৳70 and takes one to two days; outside Dhaka it is ৳130 and takes three to four.
What if it arrives damaged or wrong?
Check the parcel before you pay — that is the practical advantage of cash on delivery. If a seal is broken, a bottle has leaked or the item is not what you ordered, refuse the delivery and tell us, and we will replace it or cancel the order. Cosmetics that have been opened and used cannot be returned for hygiene reasons.
How fresh is the stock?
We buy in small, frequent batches rather than holding large quantities, so what reaches you is well within date. Batch and expiry markings are printed on the packaging and we do not remove or cover them. If anything you receive is close to expiry, tell us and we will replace it.
Does the Dhaka climate affect it?
Heat and humidity shorten the working life of most cosmetic formulas, and actives like vitamin C and retinoids are the first to suffer. Keep the product capped, out of direct sun, and away from the hottest corner of a bathroom. A cool cupboard is better than a windowsill, and better than a fridge for most textures.
How should I store it?
Somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, with the cap closed properly. Bangladesh’s heat and humidity shorten the life of most formulas, and a bathroom shelf directly above a hot shower is the worst place in the house for anything active.
