Brand/ingredient reputation
Many buyers purchased because they already trust the SOME BY MI retinol line or were drawn by retinal/retinol being marketed as a potent, high-quality active.
High volume of positive reviews
Several reviewers explicitly said they bought it after seeing many good reviews or high ratings online, treating social proof as a key purchase driver.
Repurchase/loyalty
A large number of reviews mention this being their second, third, or even 'dozens' of repeat tube purchases, indicating strong repurchase intent once satisfied.
Value for money
Reviewers frequently note the large tube size lasts a long time and call it good value, especially when bought on sale.
Gentle retinol for beginners
Buyers new to retinol chose this product because it was recommended as a milder entry point compared to stronger prescription or other brand retinols.
