How it works
Mary & May is a Korean vegan-formula skincare label pitched as an affordable, ingredient-forward routine staple, and Vitamin C+Bifida Lotion 120ml is one of its lotion 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. Ascorbic Acid, the most active but least stable form of vitamin C, sits further down the ingredient list. 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. Tocopheryl Acetate sits further down the ingredient list, the antioxidant vitamin E form supporting the rest of the formula against oxidation. As a lotion, it functions as a lightweight moisturising step for daytime or layered under a richer cream at night in a layered Korean routine. It comes in a 120ml format.

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.
