Mary & May

Mary&May was launched in 2020 by AIDKOREA COMPANY INC, a Seoul-based beauty company. From the start, the brand set out to make functional skincare that is clean, transparent and kind to the planet, with vegan and cruelty-free formulas at its core.

Its guiding idea is 'less is more'. Rather than packing products with long ingredient lists, Mary&May focuses on a small number of effective, safe ingredients and tells you what they are. Many products name their key actives right on the pack, such as tranexamic acid and glutathione in the eye cream, or six peptides in the serum, so shoppers can make informed choices.

The brand also pays attention to sustainability, describing recycled packaging materials and soy-based inks across its range. Signature lines include the peptide and calendula collection, the CICA houttuynia and tea tree calming range for stressed-looking skin, and multi-sheet daily mask packs that make regular masking easy and affordable.

For shoppers, Mary&May is a smart choice if you want results-focused care without fuss. Start with a daily mask from the 30-sheet tub after cleansing, add the peptide serum, and finish with the sleeping mask at night. In the morning, the bakuchiol sun stick makes reapplying SPF simple.
