What the gurus are saying

This retinol formulation is designed for the delicate eye area, which matters because regular retinol can cause dryness and irritation on eyelids. Reviewers found it lightweight with a dewy finish, and the supporting ingredients like niacinamide, glycerin, and tranexamic acid work alongside the retinol to help address fine lines and dark circles.

    "It is retinol intense for $15. It has retinol and retinal, which is stronger than retinol, and bakuchiol, which is the natural alternative for lack of a better word, and this is a combination of all three. [...] It has 0.1% retinol, which is on the lighter end of the spectrum. It has a 1 PPM [...] retinal, which is equivalent to 0.00001% when expressed as a percentage of retinal. And it has a 5,000 PPM bakuchiol, which is equivalent to approximately 0.5% bakuchiol."

    "I absolutely believe that if you can include a retinol in your routine, do it, it's one of the most well studied, well documented families of ingredients. This is technically an eye cream but you get so much product, one fluid ounce, so I just use it across my whole face to simplify my routine."

    "This is the Some By Mi Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream. I cannot believe how much they have crammed into the formula of this product. We get to know that this has 1% retinol in it, which is a great level."

    "This is supposed to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. It's retinol, improved dark circles, et cetera. I've been using it and it's very nicely light under the eyes. It gives like a nice dewy, moisturized look. We have a lot of antioxidants, [...] soybean, [...] centella asiatica, niacinamide, 0.1 retinol, sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and tranexamic acid. I'm interested in this one."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Niacinamide

    Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
