What is Mary & May? The brand in brief
Mary & May is a Korean skincare brand that focuses on targeted results with approachable, clean-looking formulas. It is best known in Pakistan for one product: the Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream, which many shoppers use for the look of dark circles. The brand has since become popular for its spicule creams, which combine fine spicules with PDRN, collagen or retinol.
The range at YESBEAUTY is small but specialised. Each product has a clear role: the eye cream for under-eyes, the spicule creams as weekly texture treatments, and the rice niacin serum for everyday brightening. That makes Mary & May easy to add to an existing routine without replacing everything else.
Is Mary & May a Korean brand?
Yes. Mary & May is a South Korean skincare brand within K-beauty, sometimes written as Mary and May or Mary&May. YESBEAUTY imports it directly from the brand's official distribution channels in Seoul, so every product matches what is sold in Korea. Look for the batch code and expiry date on each pack.
Is Mary & May the same as Mary Kay?
No. The names sound similar, but they are completely different companies. Mary & May is a Korean skincare brand; Mary Kay is an unrelated American cosmetics company. If you are searching for the Korean spicule creams or the tranexamic acid eye cream, Mary & May is the brand you want.
Why Mary & May is popular in Pakistan
Dark circles and uneven tone are among the most common concerns in Pakistan, often made worse by late nights, screen time, heat and strong sun. The Mary & May eye cream speaks directly to that, which is why it is so widely searched. The spicule creams caught on through social media, where people share the tingling texture and smoother-looking results.
The brand also suits people who want visible-feeling results without building a ten-step routine. One eye cream, one serum and an occasional spicule treatment are enough to make Mary & May a meaningful part of your skincare.

Key Mary & May ingredients
These ingredients define Mary & May's formulas. Each links to our ingredient hub where available.
Tranexamic acid
Used in the eye cream to support a more even-looking tone; it is gentle enough for daily use around the eyes.

PDRN
A Korean favourite for bouncy, refreshed-looking skin, featured in both spicule creams. Explore the PDRN hub.
Spicules
Very fine, needle-like particles that create a gentle tingling sensation and help other ingredients feel more effective on the skin's surface.

Collagen and peptides
Used in the collagen spicule cream to support a plumper, smoother look. Explore the Collagen and peptides hub.

What are spicule creams, and how should you use them?
Spicule creams contain extremely fine, needle-shaped particles that you feel as a mild prickle or tingle after application. People use them as a weekly or occasional treatment for rough texture, dullness and visible pores, rather than as an everyday moisturiser.
Because they are a stronger treatment, a few rules help. Use them at night on clean, dry skin, start with once a week and increase only if your skin is comfortable. Do not use them on broken skin, active acne or right after shaving or waxing, and avoid combining them on the same night with exfoliating acids or other retinoids. Follow with a gentle moisturiser and always wear sunscreen the next morning. If the tingling turns into burning, wash it off and pause.
Getting the most from an eye cream
Under-eye skin is thinner than the rest of the face, so technique matters. Use a rice-grain amount for both eyes and tap it gently along the orbital bone with your ring finger, the finger with the lightest touch, rather than rubbing. Keep a small gap from the lash line so the cream does not move into the eyes.
Habits count as much as the product. Dark circles look worse with poor sleep, dehydration, allergies and rubbing the eyes, and sun exposure darkens the area over time. Pair your eye cream with sunscreen and sunglasses outdoors, drink enough water in summer and, if dark circles appear suddenly or come with swelling, speak to a doctor.
How to build a Mary & May routine
Mary & May products are treatments, so they fit around a simple base routine.
Morning
- Cleanse gently.
- Apply the Mary & May Rice Niacin 10% Triple Vitamin Serum 80ml.
- Pat the Mary & May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream 30ml around the eyes.
- Moisturise and finish with sunscreen.
Evening
- Remove sunscreen and cleanse.
- On treatment nights, apply the Mary & May Spicule Collagen PDRN Cream 15g or the Mary & May Spicule Retinol PDRN Cream 15g.
- On other nights, use your usual serum and moisturiser.
- Apply the eye cream again.
Mary & May for Pakistan's climate
In hot, humid months, keep the routine light: the niacinamide serum and eye cream under a gel moisturiser work well. Spicule creams can feel more intense when skin is sweaty or sunburnt, so use them on cooler evenings and skip them after a day in strong sun. In dry winters, follow treatments with a richer moisturiser to keep the barrier comfortable.
Mary & May reviews and results: what to expect
The eye cream is gentle and feels hydrating from the first use; a brighter, more rested look around the eyes develops over several weeks of consistent use alongside good sleep and sun protection. Spicule creams give an immediate tingle and a smoother feel after a few sessions. Results depend on your skin, consistency and how well you protect it from the sun.
Is Mary & May original in Pakistan? How to spot fake Mary & May
Popular Korean eye creams and spicule creams are often copied. Original Mary & May has sharp printing, a clear batch code and expiry date, Korean text on the back and a smooth, consistent texture. Spicule creams should tingle gently, not burn; an unusual smell or gritty, uneven texture is a warning sign.
Be cautious of unusually cheap offers and sellers who cannot explain their stock. YESBEAUTY imports Mary & May through the brand's official channels in Seoul, as part of a group with 10 years of authentic K-beauty and more than 200,000 customers, and our Authenticity Promise covers every order.
How does Mary & May compare with other brands?
Mary & May is often compared with other brands offering PDRN and spicule treatments. Some focus on clinic-style treatments with stronger sensations, while Mary & May keeps its spicule creams approachable for home use and pairs them with familiar ingredients such as collagen and retinol. If you want a gentler first experience of spicules, the collagen version is the easier starting point.
