Description
Mary&May Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum 80ml
Mary&May Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum 80ml is a Korean retinol serum designed for a skincare routine focused on uneven texture, fine lines, dullness and reduced-looking elasticity. Its balanced formula combines 0.1% retinol with bakuchiol and Cica to support smoother, firmer and more refined-looking skin.
Retinol is a well-known skincare active used to improve the visible appearance of fine lines and uneven skin texture. With consistent use, it supports natural surface renewal and helps the complexion appear smoother and more even. The 0.1% concentration makes this serum suitable for gradually introducing retinol into an evening skincare routine.
Retinol and Bakuchiol Skin Care
The formula combines retinol with bakuchiol, a plant-derived skincare ingredient commonly used in routines targeting visible signs of ageing. Bakuchiol complements the texture-refining benefits of retinol and supports a firm, smooth and revitalized-looking complexion.
Unlike a basic anti-ageing serum, this Mary&May Cica serum also includes soothing skincare support. Cica, also known as Centella Asiatica, is valued for its calming and conditioning properties. It helps maintain skin comfort when using active ingredients and makes the formula suitable for a balanced Korean night skincare routine.

Texture and Finish
This Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum has a lightweight, fluid texture that spreads easily across the face and neck. It absorbs comfortably and can be layered with a hydrating toner, barrier-support serum or moisturizer without creating an excessively heavy finish.
Because retinol can sometimes cause temporary dryness, flaking or sensitivity when first introduced, the serum should be added to the routine gradually. Consistent moisturization and daily sun protection are essential while using a retinol skincare product.
Who Should Use This Serum?
Mary&May Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum is suitable for adults concerned about fine lines, uneven skin texture, dullness, roughness or reduced-looking firmness. New retinol users should begin with limited weekly application, while experienced users can adjust frequency according to their skin tolerance.
People with highly sensitive or compromised skin should perform a patch test before full application. Retinoid products are generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless a qualified healthcare professional specifically advises otherwise.
How to Use
How to Use Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum
- Use the serum primarily as part of your evening skincare routine.
- Cleanse the face thoroughly and gently pat the skin dry.
- Apply a hydrating toner or essence if included in your routine.
- Dispense a small amount of serum onto your fingertips.
- Apply a thin, even layer across the face while avoiding the eyelids, lips and corners of the nose.
- Gently pat the serum into the skin until absorbed.
- Follow with a gentle moisturizer to support the skin barrier.

Recommended Retinol Routine
- 🌙 Begin Gradually: Use once or twice weekly when introducing the serum
- 📅 Increase Slowly: Adjust to every other evening only when the skin develops tolerance
- 💧 Support the Barrier: Pair it with a gentle, fragrance-conscious moisturizer
- ☀️ Use Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning
- 🧪 Patch Test First: Test a small area before applying it to the entire face
Important Retinol Precautions
Do not apply the serum to irritated, sunburned or damaged skin. Avoid using it in the same routine as strong exfoliating acids, peeling products, benzoyl peroxide or other retinoids unless directed by a skincare professional.
A mild adjustment period can occur when retinol is first introduced. Reduce the frequency or discontinue application if persistent burning, swelling or severe irritation develops. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless approved by a qualified healthcare professional.
