Mary&May Spicule Retinol PDRN Cream 15g

Mary&May Spicule Retinol PDRN Cream is a 15g night cream built around encapsulated retinol, PDRN and a barrier-friendly mix of ceramides and nourishing oils. It's made for people who want to start using retinol without the rough, dry feeling that often comes with it. The cream has a rich texture that melts in on contact and settles to a soft, satin finish, so it layers neatly over your evening toner and serum.

The retinol here sits inside nano-liposomes, which release it slowly rather than all at once. That gradual delivery is what makes this a sensible entry point for retinol beginners and for skin that feels easily stressed. Alongside it, ultra-fine marine spicules act as tiny conditioning particles that smooth over the skin surface and help the rest of the formula sit where you want it, without the scratchy feel of a physical scrub.

What's inside and why it matters

• Natural Marine Spicules (2000 ppm) – ultra-fine mineral particles that gently smooth the skin surface and help the formula spread evenly for a softer, more refined look.
• Nano-Liposome Retinol – encapsulated vitamin A released gradually to help improve the look of fine lines and uneven texture, with a gentler feel than non-encapsulated retinol.
• PDRN (Sodium DNA) & CICA components – help skin look firmer and more comfortable, and keep sensitive or tired-looking skin feeling calm.
• Niacinamide – a vitamin B3 derivative that helps brighten the look of dark spots, refine the appearance of pores and even out overall tone.
• Adenosine – helps soften the appearance of fine lines, especially in expression-prone areas.
• Panthenol, Ceramide NP & Hyaluronic Acid – a hydrating, barrier-supporting trio that draws in moisture and helps skin feel supple and comfortable.
• Shea Butter & Macadamia Seed Oil – rich emollients that cushion the skin and leave a soft, velvety finish without feeling heavy or greasy.

Who is it for?

This cream suits anyone new to retinol, as well as normal, dry and sensitive skin types looking for a gentle way to add vitamin A to a routine. It's fragrance-free, which makes it easier to pair with other steps. If your skin runs very oily, the rich texture may feel like a lot, so use a thin layer.

How to use

Use at night as one of the last steps in your routine. After cleansing, toner and serum, warm a small amount between your fingertips and press it gently over the face, avoiding the immediate eye area. If you're new to retinol, start two to three nights a week and build up as your skin gets used to it. Because retinol can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, always follow with sunscreen the next morning.
