Mary&May Vegan Cica Soothing Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++🤍

Mary&May Vegan Cica Soothing Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++🤍

My Picky Review · July 2025

I've been using the Mary&May Vegan Cica Soothing Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ daily, and honestly, I'm still impressed by how well it works for my skin. Picky gave me the opportunity to try this product as a gifted item, and it quickly became one of my favourite sunscreens. 🤍

First of all, there's absolutely no white cast. It blends beautifully into my skin without leaving any visible residue, which is something I really appreciate in a sunscreen with SPF50+ PA++++.

The formula feels incredibly lightweight, and I love how hydrated and fresh my skin feels after applying it. It's infused with Centella Asiatica and hyaluronic acid, which help soothe and moisturize the skin while providing sun protection.

Since I have dry skin, finding a sunscreen that provides enough hydration is really important to me. This one leaves my skin feeling comfortable and moisturized throughout the day without feeling heavy or greasy.

One of my favourite things about this sunscreen is how well it works under makeup. It gives my skin a smooth, hydrated base, and my foundation applies beautifully on top. I've never had issues with my makeup cracking or becoming patchy because of this sunscreen, which makes a huge difference to my overall makeup look. ✨

I also love that it's vegan, which is another nice detail about the formula. After using it so much, my impressions have only gotten better. I still find myself reaching for it regularly, and I'm honestly still in love with this product.

Honestly, I haven't found anything negative to say about this sunscreen. I've used it extensively, and it continues to work beautifully for my dry skin and my makeup routine.

🤍 My Picky Verdict

⭐ 5/5

I'm still in love with this sunscreen! Between the zero white cast, lightweight texture, hydrating formula and beautiful performance under makeup, it checks all the boxes for me.

If you have dry skin and want a sunscreen that provides high sun protection while keeping your skin hydrated and helping your makeup look smooth, I highly recommend giving this one a try. My impressions have only improved with time, and it remains one of my favourite sunscreens. 🤍

Mary&May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream🩵

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.
