How it works
Mary & May is a Korean vegan-formula skincare label pitched as an affordable, ingredient-forward routine staple, and Tranexamic Acid+Glutathione Eye Cream Mini is one of its cream entries. 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. Tranexamic Acid sits further down the ingredient list, an ingredient Korean formulas reach for on tone-evening and discoloration-focused lines. Betaine sits further down the ingredient list, a humectant and comfort ingredient common across Korean bases. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) sits further down the ingredient list as the formula's moisture-retention and comfort ingredient, a standard soothing base in Korean-market formulas. As a cream, it functions as the last skincare step, sealing in what came before in a layered Korean routine. It comes in a 12g format.

Payment and security
We accept
How to use
- Use it before your face cream, on skin that has had its serum and nothing heavier yet.
- A grain sized amount does both eyes, tapped gently around the orbital bone with the lightest finger you have.
- Give it a minute to settle before anything goes over it, especially concealer.
- Never rub or drag the area, because friction on skin this thin is what you are trying to avoid in the first place.
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.

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.
