I’m so happy that Mary&May is getting more recognition!! I first came upon on this brand on YesStyle a year ago and tried several of their products. They are so good for sensitive skin and actually light but very hydrating and moisturizing!!

[@ayeishaj9281]

Which products of Mary n may have you tried? I want to try Marine collagen and hyuttonia cordata serum. Any review on this two?

[@hb2953]

@@ayeishaj9281 i tried the houttuynia cordata & tea tree cream and the bifida & vit c lotion and the houttuynia cordata serum. The serum is very good at calming and it is slightly hydrating. I found that houttuynia cordata products are very good at calming acne and redness.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

They’re so underrated! I hope the word gets out 😍

I am so excited you are reviewing this brand, I have been wanting to try some of the products. I love when you talk about the literature, it matters to me. I just looked at Style Korean and am seeing Mary and May serums for as low as $7.99.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yuuup, Stylekorean has the best prices by far! Just gotta make an $80 order (or the shipping is $20, ouch 😆)

I cannot get over how much of a hidden gem the blackberry cream is 🤯 In searching for more dupes, I realized it’s actually quite similar to the Bobbi Brown face base. Not a 1:1 dupe, but surprisingly similar!

Thanks for reviewing this brand! I’m loving the Idebenone + Blackberry serum and it most definitely has taken my vitamin C spot in my routine as well. I’ve been wondering about the texture on the Idebenone cream and I’m glad it’s thicker as I too have dry skin as well. I just love all your reviews and I love that you get into the research and studies.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Glad to help! 🥰

[@aliciaboggs1456]

I don't even have dry skin but your product recs usually work out very well for my skin so here I am. I need some of those sheet mask in a box in my life. I never buy them bc the price and I make my own but those would be great for lazy days. Also your hair is so pretty that color😍, it really suits you

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I hope sheet masks in boxes become the standard! But also that these companies figure out how to make the box a bit more solid 😆 Thank you! 😁

I never look t this brand either. So glad to hear you get to play with some Farmacy. It's so nice with a nice price too. Enjoy thanks for your research.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I bought the new honey mask too - excited about it, but it’s actually SO different from the last version 🤔 will see how it goes over a few weeks!

[@elizabethc.9910]

I need to tell you about my LOVE for Bifida Ferment Lysate! So I have/get flairs of Perioral Dermatitis every fall with out fail, for the past 4 years now, and sometimes I will get another flair randomly during the year, but when I have a flair I have to cut out all actives as well as a lot of my reg skincare and other products (foaming cleansers and fluoride toothpaste and more) and I go super basic with my skincare routine as well as starting to use straight Zinc Cream on it too. I was doing that this past fall, when I received some products I ordered from Style Korean (I ordered them knowing I would have to wait to use most of them) and the Benton Fermentation Essence and Fermentation Eye Cream (came as a set) were 2 of the products I got. I, for some reason, decided to try the essence (maybe because it was my first time getting a First Essence?) even though so many things make PD worse, but you only live once right?! Lol Anyway I can tell almost immediately if something will make it worse and this seemed ok, so I kept using it. Within a week, I noticed that the flair I had had, for at least a month at that point, was improving! After about 2 weeks it was completely GONE! I was, and still am, Completely Shocked! Nothing helps that fast and that well with PD, nothing! So now I feel like I, 1. need to have this product at all times, and 2. want to find and use all the products with this ingredient and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate as well as other fermented ingredients in them. So some products I really want to try are, the Isntree TW-Real Bifida Ampoule which has 88% concentrated BFL in it, as well as lots of other fermented ingredients. Last night I just found Farm Stay-Dermacube Probiotics Therapy Emlusion and Ampoule Serum on Stylevana and put them in my cart, the Emulsion is $14 and the Serum is only $9! For that price Ill definitely try it! Also Most of the Missha Time Revolution products have it too, I want to try the Night Repair ProBio Ampoule the most from them and then the First Treatment essence too. Like someone mentioned the Manyo Bifida Ampoule looks amazing but sadly it is a bit too expensive for me, but I feel like I have some good options to try out anyway! Sorry for rambling but I just had to share what (I think) this amazing ingredient did for my skin, and mention some other products I want to try, that you might also want to try! And if someone has tried any of them maybe you could let me know if they are good? Thanks for another great review also!!!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

No thank you so much for sharing your experience!! That’s great to hear! I’ll have to check out the farm stay as well - I’m a fan of this ingredient, but I too would prefer to pay less (who wouldn’t lol, maybe a small percentage of people but most of us like to save 😂)

[@monicagreen8271]

I need to try Mary & May- I’ve been eying that blackberry serum but haven’t made the plunge yet. I’ve mentioned this before a few videos back but Manyos bifida toner is soo good. It’s light and watery but still has a good slip to it. It has a lot of bifida forms mixed with PHA. And there’s extra goodies: allantoin, ceramide NP, willow bark extract, witch hazel water 👀 my skin loves it

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

😱 bifida AND PHA!? Oh my, thanks for the heads up. Sounds like I would adore that!!

[@das_ein]

Having lived in the South before, I immediately thought of Mary Kay 😊 The heyday of MK feels like centuries ago in makeup years though (maybe there’s still a big following, I have no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️). So glad you mentioned the BOJ cleanser bc I’ve always agreed with you that the majority of Korean cleansers I’ve tried have been on the edge of uncomfortable (I’m more on the “normal” side). Good to hear you enjoyed mostly everything here. I’m getting low in my G&G A-game so I’m about to level up to the 0.1%! Which means I might need more moisturizing layers 🤔 ☮️💟🤗

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I cannot get over how different the A Game 5 and 10 are on my skin! It feels like living the difference a tiny jump in quantity makes 👀 Haha yes, Mary Kay. 😆 I remember as a child seeing the pink cadillacs on the road haha

[@marykovars3467]

What a great review! I immediately went to the Style Korean site and made a major haul. 5 serums, 2 moisturizers, container of sheet masks(vitamin c & niacinamide), eye cream (I do have dark circles, so worth a try!) from Mary & May.. Plus 2 Missha BB creams, an eyelash serum, a Missha Sun Milk, and a small perfume. All for under $100!!! I did find a 10% off coupon! Yay!!! I have normal/dry mature skin and look forward to trying Mary & May for the first time! Thanks for reviewing lesser known brands and introducing us to them. Excited for my order to arrive! ☺️

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I’m loving Korean skincare. It has completely transformed my skin. Also, Mary & May I have been so happy with. There is not one product that I have tried from them that I have not loved - especially their masks. Incredible. Notice such a difference. Mine says to push down on the sides of the lid to lock it. That seems to work. Thanks for the review.

I’ve tried the ma:nyo bifida ampoule spray and thought it was highly moisturizing, but it gave me terrible acne the whole time I used it. I ended up finishing the bottle, but didn’t repurchase for that reason. I still recommend it if you tolerate their other products, but I much prefer the one thing bifida toner. It’s light weight, hydrating, and doesn’t break me out.

I was so excited to buy that then they went and changed the phormulas and it's watered down now all the good ingredients are now at the bottom I noticed a ton of brands are so called renewing their products but really their messing up perfect products and making them less affective and charging the same price. I'm sad about that.

[@andie1508]

Well for some useless anecdata: I have been using tretinoin (.14%! Highest you can get in the U.S.!) with a copper peptide blend on top. I have sensitive skin a I've been ok. Just wanted to put that out there. But that's just me, YMMV of course, and I was also very used to tret (had been using it for several years) before adding the peptide blend. I use it with my retinoid because I've read that you're not supposed to mix copper peptides with the Vit C (LAA) I use in the morning. Anyway- you sold me on the antioxidant serum. I already love CoQ10; this sounds awesome!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yeah from what I’ve personally read, I’d say your decision to pair it with tret vs L-AA is the better option. Tbh the whole thing feels like 5 years ago, when a google search of “st Ives microtears???” pulled up 79 articles repeating Paula Begoun’s personal opinion as if it was fact. I can only find “don’t mix tretinoin with copper peptides!” Wish people FREAKING cited their sources ughhh (insert visual of me bashing my head into the wall LOL)

[@heathersargent289]

I noticed they added a ton of product cleansing balm a oil mist moisturizer serums face mist, toners ,tranexamic acid treatment ,it sucks that only the serums are frangerance free essential oil free . I really like the Ibendenone serum I think I'll order more but it's crazy how their products went from 9$ to 22$- 25$ in the matter of a few months I paid 22$ for the serum.

Now I’m currently trying to decide on the Kopari moisture whipped ceramide cream or this Mary&May Idebenone + Blackberry cream. Totally different but I’m coming up on needing a new moisturizer soon and these two are catching my interest. Also looking at the idebenone blackberry serum 😅🤔

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Ok so I’d say: kopari if you want ceramides/repair. Mary & May if you want extra antioxidants. Also the kopari is definitely more “fluffy” in how it feels while the m&m is more of a thick, heavy type of texture. Hope that helps!

[@Riss8368]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole hmmm I don’t know too much of what ceramides or antioxidants fully do. But I do know I have some acne the more sore skin colorist tiny under one’s with occasional red raised people here and there, red sensitive cheeks, some texture and I tend to often scar/pigmentation easily from any pimple no matter what. I have dry skin but I do live in a humid place. So maybe the Kopari WITH the Mary & May serum version of that cream?? Thoughts?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

ceramides help with the skin’s barrier, and antioxidants neutralize free radicals (so you’ll see them suggested for those in areas of high pollution, or in conjunction with sunscreen to fight back against UV damage)

Wait seriously peptide uglies?? Because I have tried like four peptide serums and broken out in these shallow, not painful but irritating whiteheads after 3-4 days, without fail.

Specifically “copper peptide uglies”! But it’s hard to say if that’s just another case of groupthink. They believe it correlates specifically with pro-aging (there is no data for this aside from anecdotal) Yeah so hard to say. I actually saw a thread on r/Asianbeauty where someone said cica doesn’t work for everyone. Which is a true statement as nothing works for everyone! But the entire thread was full of people saying, “I’m quitting cica!!” It felt like I was reading one person say “I’m allergic to peanut butter”, and then everyone replied “aaah maybe I am too! I’m throwing out my peanut butter!!!” That’s usually a very balanced subreddit (and among my favorites), so really goes to show that groupthink can happen with any group!
