Review

Results you may expect from using Some By Mi Beta-Panthenol Repair Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Some By Mi Beta-Panthenol Repair Serum:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Some By Mi Beta-Panthenol Repair Serum contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Some By Mi Beta-Panthenol Repair Serum has a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.3 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of 2,3-Butanediol (est. ≈6.0%) and Panthenol (est. ≈4.0%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Some By Mi Beta-Panthenol Repair Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Adenosine and Beta-Glucan, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Some By Mi Beta-Panthenol Repair Serum is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Panthenol (est. ≈4.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
