K-Beauty Mary & May Idebenone + Blackberry Range Review
Recently, I’m absolutely loving this Idebenone Blackberry Antioxidant trio from Mary & May.
If strong vit C, l-ascorbic acid is too irritating or you're a bit sensitive, or have a weak skin barrier, this could be a line to explore.
Aside from the antioxidant rich key ingredients in varying high percentages, each product has their own added powerhouse ingredients to aid in gentle, long term well-aging, brightening, and rich nourishment.
Here's what Mary & May say about their hero ingredients:
Idebenone: providing antioxidant benefits 4 times stronger than
Vitamin C that’s x10 times more effective than Coenzyme Q10.
Blackberry complex: abundantly infused with anthocyanin to aid in preventing skin aging caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Mary & May Premium Idebenone Blackberry Complex Essence Mask
Notable ingredients:
SAP
6 different peptides
Centella
Panthenol
Lots of liquid that's actually got some viscosity to it, not just watery so it applies with no drips.
Right after use (10-25mins), I notice a more even skin tone with calmed redness, and of course hydrated, plumped skin.
The biodegradable bamboo charcoal material is thick, easy to work with (no slime, no tangles, not freezing cold, no weird extra plastic).
They adheres well, and tear easily and cleanly - ideal for adjusting the mask to fit your features perfectly.
Excellent economical packaging too.
Mary & May Idebenone+Blackberry Complex Serum
Notable ingredients:
Glycerin
Arginine
Despite the thicker gel-like appearance, it absorbs well with no tackiness at all.
This is the simplest formula of the 3, a straight up hydrating, antioxidant serum.
Mary & May Idebenone + Blackberry Complex Intensive Total Care Cream
Notable ingredients:
5 forms of HA
5 types of ceramides
Cholesterol
Phytosphingosine
I only need a very small amount of this rich, nourishing cream.
It feels very slippy and oily when applying and leaves a slightly tacky, emollient film (not to be confused with heavy or greasy) that works great under SPF and makeup.
It gives long lasting moisture and a beautiful glow, whether throughout the day or overnight - perfect for dry skin!
I'm going overseas soon and I've decided this is coming with me (ticks all boxes!)
