About Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum

Overview

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.

Texture and finish

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.

What the formula does

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.

Who it suits

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.

What it does not target

One ingredient on the label has not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.

Where it fits in a routine

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.

Pros and cons

Drawn purely from the ingredient list

Pros

  • Strong humectant content for hydration
  • No common irritants flagged in the list

Things to know

Where it fits in a routine

Morning Evening
  1. Cleanse
  2. Toning
  3. Treat
  4. Moisturise

Safety and suitability

Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Contains Retinol, usually reviewed with a doctor during pregnancy.
Fungal acne (malassezia)
9 ingredients could feed malassezia: Ozonized Macadamia Seed Oil, Sorbitan Stearate, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Butyrospermum Parkii, Sucrose Cocoate, Sorbitan Oleate, Glyceryl Stearate, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
Sensitive and reactive 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.
