Take the skin testThe Mary&May Rice Niacin 10% Triple Vitamin Serum is a potent brightening serum designed to deliver a clear, radiant complexion and improve skin tone and texture. Formulated with 10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), it strengthens the skin barrier, reduces pores, fades dark spots, regulates sebum, and improves signs of aging, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. The inclusion of 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C derivative, 10,000ppm) and Tocopherol (Vitamin E, 2,000ppm) provides antioxidant protection, reduces hyperpigmentation, and promotes collagen production. Panthenol (Vitamin B5, 30,000ppm) soothes and hydrates, while Glutathione enhances brightening by blocking melanin activation, oxidation, and epidermal migration in three stages.
Rice Niacin 10% Triple Vitamin Serum is a lightweight serum from Mary&May, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 26 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Panthenol and Glycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Panthenol, Glycerin and Water.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Panthenol and Hydrogenated Lecithin.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Niacinamide and Tocopherol.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, 3-o-ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Tocopherol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) 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.
The formula contributes little or nothing on cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it. 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.
Based on the curated benefits documented for this product's ingredients.
Attracts and locks in moisture to keep skin plump and dewy
Boosts collagen and cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation for sensitive skin
Brightens and balances complexion for a more uniform appearance
Fades hyperpigmentation and evens out dark spots over time
Tightens and refines the look of enlarged pores
None of the ingredients in this formula are associated with these benefits. This is not unusual, as most products are designed to target a limited number of concerns.

Nothing in this formula belongs to a group our rules can put in conflict, so it layers freely. Order still matters — thinnest texture first.

Prep Skin: After cleansing and toning, ensure skin is clean and dry to prepare for serum application., Apply Serum: Dispense a small amount (2-3 drops) onto fingertips or use the dropper, then gently massage into the face and neck, focusing on areas with uneven tone or dullness for better absorption. Follow with Moisturizer: Allow the serum to absorb fully, then follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration; use morning and/or night, ideally after toner and before heavier creams. Store away from heat and direct sunlight to preserve vitamin stability.
