## How it works

Mary & May is a Korean vegan-formula skincare label pitched as an affordable, ingredient-forward routine staple, and Vegan Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum is one of its serum entries. Niacinamide sits in the middle of the ingredient list, the tone-evening, barrier-supporting active Korean formulas lean on most often, and its early position here means it is not a token dose. Retinol sits in the middle of the ingredient list. It is why this belongs in an evening routine, introduced gradually rather than nightly from day one, and why daily sunscreen matters while using it. Tocopherol sits in the middle of the ingredient list, the antioxidant vitamin E form supporting the rest of the formula against oxidation. Ceramide NP sits in the middle of the ingredient list, a skin-identical lipid included to support the surface rather than strip it. As a serum, it functions as a treatment step layered under moisturiser in a layered Korean routine. It comes in a 80ml format.

## How to use

1. Cleanse and tone, then apply this while the skin is still slightly damp so it spreads without dragging.
2. Use one or two pumps for the whole face and press it in with flat palms rather than rubbing in circles.
3. Wait until the surface feels tacky rather than wet, then put your moisturiser on top.
4. Do not use it as your only layer on dry skin, since a light fluid left uncovered is the first thing to evaporate.
