Mary & May Retinol & PDRN Cream is an intensive care cream designed for skin suffering from enlarged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, and loss of smoothness. It combines micro-spicule technology, encapsulated retinol, and CICA PDRN to support skin renewal and give it a smoother, clearer texture.
Micro-marine spicules provide an intensive care sensation to the skin, helping to improve ingredient absorption, while nano-liposome retinol helps support a firmer skin appearance and gradually reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines.
The formula also contains CICA PDRN, Panthenol, Ceramide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Allantoin to help soothe the skin, support its barrier, and improve the appearance of elasticity and smoothness, making the cream suitable as a concentrated nightly step in a skincare routine.

Max Beauty Usage Tips:

- It is preferable to use it only at night, and avoid combining it on the same night with strong exfoliants or other retinols.
- You may feel a slight tingling due to spicules, which is normal for some skin types, but discontinue use if severe or persistent irritation occurs.
- It is not recommended to apply it very close to the eye area, on the lips, or on the sides of the nose if the area is sensitive.
