How it works
Mary & May is a Korean vegan-formula skincare label pitched as an affordable, ingredient-forward routine staple, and Spicule Azelaic PDRN Spot Cream is one of its cream entries. Tea Tree Leaf Oil sits among the first ingredients on the list, the ingredient behind Mediheal's tea-tree line and a long-standing Korean choice for oil-prone, blemish-prone skin. Niacinamide sits within the first ten ingredients, the tone-evening, barrier-supporting active Korean formulas lean on most often, and its early position here means it is not a token dose. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) sits in the middle of the ingredient list as the formula's moisture-retention and comfort ingredient, a standard soothing base in Korean-market formulas. Salicylic Acid sits in the middle of the ingredient list, a BHA exfoliant included to keep pores and texture in check. As a cream, it functions as the last skincare step, sealing in what came before in a layered Korean routine. It comes in a 15g format.

How to use
- Use the Spicule Azelaic PDRN Spot Cream after toner and before moisturizer, in the evening.
- Apply an even layer of Mary&May Spicule Azelaic PDRN Spot Cream across your face. Follow your skin's natural texture and gently press in the cream with your palms to help absorption. If it's your first time using this face cream, start by applying it in the evening, 2 to 3 times a week. You can gradually increase to daily use.
- Toner first so the surface is damp, then this, then about a minute before your moisturizer goes over the top.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not stack it with a second serum of the same kind; two hydrating serums in one routine do the work of one.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.
- Introduce a new active gradually into an existing routine rather than adding several at once.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Pantothenol is a common ingredient in skin care and hair products I recommend, particularly for people who are prone to dryness.
Taylor Bullock, MDDermatology resident, Cleveland Clinic I think it's fair to say I've seen lots of patients use tea tree oil for a variety of skin issues. It's a natural remedy that is known to help.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
