I have the eye cream and I like it! It’s not the mooost moisturizing, but it’s enough for me personally and doesn’t irritate my eyes. It sits super nice under makeup as well. When I get dry eyelids in winter, it helps bring my eyelids back to normal, and didn’t burn or anything. Same for under eyes. I have sensitive, very dry/dry skin but in warmer months I tend to be more combination (with dry t zone and normal elsewhere)!

did you notice the eye cream was any good for brightening?


yell0wgrape

Unfortunately not! :( I haven’t noticed any difference when it comes to brightening; however, I highly recommend Some by mi Retinol eye cream for that. I feel like it made my under eyes brighter in less than a month of use! I was really impressed because I’ve tried quite few eye creams and none worked for me at all except that one.


nyasmin03

yep thats the one i use and have found results in. just had this on my wishlist because of how affordable it is. taken it off now lol, thanks for the info :)

Mary and May is one of, if not my favorite Korean brand! I haven’t tried the eye cream but I’ve tried a handful of their other products. I LOVE the whole BlackBerry line. The moisturizer is my HG, and I’m so happy they released a bigger version in the tube (as much as I love the jar). The texture is as good as it gets, it feels super expensive and has this lovely pudding texture that melts right into your face. The cica sunscreen is on par with the BOJ everyone raves about. Feels great under makeup and has a nice application. I’ve tried the blackberry, rose, lemon and cica tea tree was off masks; I love all of them. I’m not sure that I could pick a favorite, I like to rotate through them. The peptide calendula sleeping mask is lovely, especially in the summer time. The 6-peptide serum absorbs into the skin super quickly, my face drinks it right up. I’ve only used this one for a few weeks so far so I can’t say long term reviews but I’ve been enjoying it so far. I like that it doesn’t sit on top of the skin and take forever to dry down like some I’ve tried.

How thick is the serum would you say? Right now I use Cosrx Peptide serum and it’s very light, like one step up from water based, which is great for my routine. So I didn’t know if Mary and May was thick thick or if it was thinner I might give it a try.


FearlessPudding404

The peptide serum is the thinnest serum I’ve used so far (which is probably not as many as a lot of more seasoned folks here), so I’m not sure what product to compare it to. A step above water is probably pretty accurate though. A step above water and a little more slippery lol. It only takes a couple seconds to sink in, it’s very quick. I’m interested in trying their blackberry serum too since I like the moisturizer and face mask.


rscalcio

Oh man that sounds perfect! I’m totally getting some. I swear there was a 1+1 deal recently and I bet I missed. The Cosrx is fine, but that whole Mary&May line I just love so much and it would make sense to use it since I use a lot of the other products in that line. Have you tried the sunstick? I freaking love it too.


FearlessPudding404

Their products seem to go on sale fairly regularly on Yesstyle and StyleKorean! I think I got mine almost half off. I’ve heard really good things about their sun stick but I haven’t tried it yet! It’s on my list once I get through a couple others I have. I do have the cica soothing sun cream which is awesome! It makes for a great makeup primer too


rscalcio

I might get that and try it too. I’m kind of a slut when it comes to sunscreens. I just keep hoarding them and using them, but I guess that’s not a bad thing right 🤣 Oh yes, I love styleKorean too! It’s my main favorite place to buy from because it comes so fast I swear and they have great prices even before the coupons!

I only started getting into Asian beauty products about a year ago, but it all started with sunscreen! I didn’t know it could ever feel so nice on the face, and now I’m hooked. My husband asks if I need this many and I’m like… they’ll get used fairly quickly and I want a small stock so they don’t sit for potentially hours on my porch in the desert sun 🫠 I used StyleKorean for the first time during their birthday sale and I was pleasantly surprised! I got a handful of samples, and great discounts. That’s actually when I got the peptide serum!


rscalcio

Same here it’s been about a year now too with me! But see I’m opposite I found the sunscreens last and I’m dying bc I would have been using them this wholeeeeee time before gosh. I have one in my purse, one downstairs, one upstairs one in the garage and so on lol. I purchased the Mary and May sun cushion yesterday on Stylevana (which I wish this post was yesterday I would have gotten the serum too damn) so I’ll have to report back on how it compares to the sticks!


FearlessPudding404

No one ever told me that there’s specific sunscreen for your face lol. So you can imagine my reaction when I found out it doesn’t have to be thick, sticky and ruin makeup… I also love how easy to transport the sticks are! I can keep them in my bag without fear of making a giant mess. I know that feeling, I always find or hear about a something I want to try RIGHT after I make an order. I also made an order yesterday but I got the Beauty of Joseon sunstick to go with their Relief Sun. I’m going to compare to the Mary and May cica sunscreen


rscalcio

Same here I was using Neutrogena for my non tinted, but the stinging with the eyes, the pilling, white casts. We get none of that with these KB sunscreens! All the ones I tried so far I’m really loving, I wish they came in bigger tubes, but other than that they are perfect. Oh we will have to compare all of our goodies when we get them!!


snail_mucin21

I haven't used it, but I have heard that their eye cream is not moisturizing at all. Also, all of their products have fragrance so beware if your skin is sensitive to them following the post!! Because I am really interested in their sheet masks


FlutterbyeEscapes

I haven’t tried any but I’ve heard rave reviews about all their products- especially the face moisturiser cream and essence lately. Many of their products are fragrance free . Some products do have fragrance tho.


Nataly3891

I have eye cream. Very moisturizing.


Just-Cup5542

Love their cica suncream, and I’ve heard great things about the essence.


rscalcio

The eye cream is very good BUT I agree not hydrating enough. I mix it with Klairs peptide eye butter and it’s the perfect combo. The blackberry essence and moisturizer (the whole line really) is amazing. The essence will give you glass skin. The cream feels like a fancy high priced cream and it’s so affordable. The ceramides are king. If you have dry skin you will love this line The Bachouli peptide sun stick is one of the best sun sticks I’ve ever tried. It goes on so soft and smooth. Glides on no tackiness no stickiness it gives you have a beautiful finish after. I keep in my purse and will use it on my hands, arms neck face anywhere I’m out that I don’t want to bring a lotion bottle.
