Mary&May Idebenone Blackberry Cream | Antioxidant Korean Moisturizer with 5 Ceramides & Hyaluronic Acid | Skin Barrier Repair & 48H Hydration | For All Skin Types (100g/3.52oz)

I'm a big fan of Mary & May products.I have a variety of lines including sun cream and hand cream, blackhead mask. I've been trying this Ibedenon cream for more than two months now. I have very dry skin, so I do multi-stage skincare, and I've added this cream to my face and neck as the last step of my skincare routine. My complexion became brighter and skin texture got very soft, allowing me to put on makeup well. I don't like sticky or slimy texture, but this cream is not too heavy or too light, so it seeps in after a few minutes when applied.I feel like a cream has a good oil and moisture balance, so it applies smoothly on my face. I like there is no artificial scent too.

Love love love this moisturizer. My teenager has even stolen it from me so I had to buy a second bottle. Great product. Skin looks so much better. It is light, not greasy, gives great moisture and I feel like my skin is more hydrated. The scent is very subtle and does not irritate my skin.

This isn't quite as heavy and moisturizing as I was expecting, but it works for me. I have normal/combo skin. It might not be the best for very dry skin types. I like the texture. It is creamy without feeling suffocating, and it sinks in quickly.

Welp. I'm a believer.MY SKIN TYPE:-Extremely tight and dry across my t-zone (this area also gets super oily)-Dry flaking at limp corners of my mouth + chin-Nose is so dry that it's shiny like glass (also can get super oily)-Previously did chemical peel, so skin barrier was shot. Even my tears left red stripes down my cheeks like a candy caneWHAT USED TO WORK FOR ME:-Plain aloe vera gel-Kikumasamune emulsion*I don't use them anymore because my skin has changed over the years and they leave my skin feeling tight and sticky.MY PREFERENCE:-Korean skincareMost people's holy grail moisturizers left my skin feeling sticky and tight, or gave me breakouts. No bueno. I wanted something that would feel invisible on my face, but soak in and cure me of the awful "dry as paper" sensation, WITHOUT making my skin look wet and sticky.So I tried this Blackberry cream.And I'm really glad I did!TEXTURE:Dense; it's not 'thick' as in toothpaste. It's 'thick' like the way chapstick is thick. It squeezes out of a tiny hole and holds its shape firmly. I thought this would mean it has a waxy feel and be difficult to spread. But actually, just a teeny little amount was able to be spread across half my face. A little goes a long way. Very smooth. 'Berry' smooth, you could say.FEEL:It left even the most paper-dry patches of my face feeling soft like velvet. There is a subtle tack, but it's a nice grippy tack that leaves you feeling plumped and firm. Not "sticky" like "ew there's a layer of it still sitting on top." You go through your day forgetting you are even wearing anything... until you touch your face twelve hours later and realize it feels just the same as it did in the morning. It didn't feel gross to layer my sunscreen on top of this.LOOK:At first, this left my face looking slightly glazed. But then it faded, and my skin was left with a subtly "reflective" quality. I don't like to use the word "glow," because I never found skin to look like it's "glowing," even on models portraying that exact quality. Rather, this cream leaves my skin looking subtly "reflective" in a way that is slightly matte... only where the light directly hits it in certain spots. Very nice.Scent: No real scent. I know this is a plus for most people, but I almost wish there was a subtle berry scent to this, since I'm crazy. This isn't a negative.Flavor: No flavor.CONCLUSION:I really like this. I recommend this for people. It has the right ingredients (Niacinamide, Ceramides), it doesn't leave you feeling and looking slimy, you don't have to reapply often (it keeps overnight for me), and it doesn't break me out. My t-zone is crying in relief.There aren't any cons I can think of at present.Anyway, that's about it. Hope this helps.

Purchased this while it was on sale. It is a nice, thick consistently but doesn't feel greasy or heavy on the skin. I love using this at the end of my skincare routine because it is so moisturizing - it feels luxurious! Doesn't really have a smell to it.

I had high hopes for Mary & May Idebenone Cream because I love the Idebenone serum, but I didn’t like the texture of the cream. It felt too sticky on my skin. While it does provide decent hydration and a slight brightening effect over time, the heavy, tacky feel made it uncomfortable for daily use. Probably better suited for dry skin types(maybe), but not my favorite.

Best moisturizer I’ve used. It’s thick enough that it really moisturizes, but still manages to sink into the skin. I love this at night combined with squalane oil or by itself in the morning to prep my skin before makeup. My skin feels so much more hydrated after using this.

This is one of the best creams I’ve ever purchased. It goes in smoothly and you see results in a month
