Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe Mary&May Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum is a gentle yet powerful anti-aging treatment specially crafted for sensitive skin. This advanced formula combines 0.1% pure retinol, 1,000 ppm bakuchiol, and soothing Jeju Centella Asiatica extracts (including Cica PDRN and Cica exosomes) to deliver visible improvements in skin firmness, fine lines, and pore appearance. Powered by a triple peptide complex, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, and Copper Tripeptide-1, this serum reinforces the skin barrier, boosts elasticity, and smooths visible signs of aging with a 42.9% reduction in wrinkles and 21.1% improvement in texture. Soothing Centella Asiatica extracts (including Asiatic Acid, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, and Madecassoside) calm irritation and support skin regeneration, while nano-emulsion technology ensures deep, stable delivery of retinol for maximum efficacy with minimal irritation.
Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum is a cushioning serum from Mary&May, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 67 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. It contains both silicones and oils, a combination that usually finishes smooth and slightly satin and sits well under makeup. Hydration is handled by Propanediol, Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Propanediol, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate and Polyglutamic Acid.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Sucrose Cocoate, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Root Extract.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Hydrogenated Lecithin, Niacinamide, Cholesterol and Butyrospermum Parkii.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry), Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
One ingredient on the label has not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.

Apply After Cleansing and Toning: After cleansing and applying toner, dispense a couple of drops onto the face and neck. Gently Massage for Absorption: Smooth the serum gently over the skin, patting lightly to enhance absorption. Use Sunscreen Daily: Apply at night due to retinol’s photosensitivity, and use sunscreen daily to protect skin, especially for retinol beginners. Gradually increase usage (e.g., 2-3 times weekly) to avoid irritation.
Judged on how rich the formula reads from its ingredient list, it suits Balanced skin best. It is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry), Combination (oily), Oily skin.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.

That describes the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that they will cause a breakout.
It contains Retinol, which are usually reviewed with a doctor during pregnancy. Ask your doctor or midwife before using it.
No — it contains Vinyl Dimethicone, Dimethicone/vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer.
It layers well with Retinoids (retinol, retinal), Copper peptides, Bakuchiol, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic acid, Ceramides. Take more care combining it with AHAs (glycolic, lactic), BHA (salicylic acid), PHAs (gluconolactone), Benzoyl peroxide, Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), Azelaic acid — use them in separate routines or on alternate days.
Use it morning and evening, after toner, before moisturiser.
It lists 67 ingredients, of which 12 are recorded as actives.
