Mary & May Idebenone + Blackberry Complex Serum
Since I’ve started paying more attention to early signs of aging, I wanted a serum that would help protect my skin without overwhelming it. With my oily and acne-prone skin, I was a bit nervous to try an antioxidant formula, but this one was a game-changer. It’s incredibly lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any residue or clog pores. With 20% blackberry extract and idebenone—a powerful antioxidant and a derivative of CoQ10—it’s designed to fight free radicals and help prevent premature aging, especially from sun exposure.
Texture & Application
The texture is silky and smooth, almost watery, and spreads easily across the skin. It absorbs within seconds, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and lightly hydrated. There’s no stickiness at all, and it pairs perfectly with both sunscreen and makeup, making it easy to use in any routine.
How It Feels on the Skin
Right from the first few uses, my skin looked more radiant and felt smoother. Over time, I noticed it helped even out my tone, gave my skin a healthy glow, and worked well alongside other products without causing irritation. What surprised me most? Even with its anti-aging focus, it didn’t trigger any breakouts—instead, my skin looked calmer and more balanced. It’s gentle enough for sensitive days, but effective enough to feel like it’s doing real work.
