Mary&May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream🩵

My Picky Review · July 2025

I received the Mary&May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream through a Picky campaign, and I was excited to try it because I was looking for something that could hydrate my under-eye area and help brighten it. One thing I liked about this cream is that, although it is marketed as an eye cream, I could also use it around my mouth and on other areas of my face.

The texture is light and smooth, spreads easily and absorbs well without feeling heavy or greasy. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, fresh and comfortable, especially around my eyes. I also liked the cool, refreshing sensation it gave my skin, and it worked well both in my morning and evening routines.

The formula contains tranexamic acid (0.1%), glutathione (0.1%) and niacinamide (approximately 2–2.4%), ingredients associated with brightening the skin. However, after finishing the entire tube, I noticed that the hydration was much more noticeable than any brightening effect.

One little downside ☹

My main disappointment was that, despite the brightening ingredients in the formula — tranexamic acid (0.1%), glutathione (0.1%) and niacinamide (approximately 2–2.4%) — I didn't notice much improvement in dark circles or uneven pigmentation after using the product.

While I really liked how hydrating it was, I had hoped to see more visible brightening results. I wonder whether the concentrations of the brightening ingredients were simply not enough for my skin and whether I might need a product with higher concentrations to notice a more significant difference. Of course, this is just my personal experience, and I can't say for sure that the percentages were the reason it didn't work as well as I had hoped.

That's why, after finishing the entire tube, I decided to lower my original rating.

🩵 My Picky Verdict

⭐ 3/5

Skin type: Dry / Resilient
Received as: Gifted through Picky 🩵
Would I repurchase? Maybe. Yes, for hydration and not if you are only looking for brightening effect.

Overall, I think this is a nice option if you're looking for a lightweight, hydrating eye cream, especially if you have dry under-eyes. I genuinely enjoyed the texture and how moisturized my skin felt throughout the day.

However, if your main goal is to improve dark circles or achieve a visible brightening effect, my personal experience was less impressive. Even though the formula contains several ingredients intended to help with uneven skin tone, I didn't notice much of a difference myself.

After finishing the entire tube, I'd give it 3/5 stars. It's a good hydrating cream, but the brightening results weren't noticeable enough for me.
