context: i live in a cold dry temperate climate and a humid tropical climate, so my skincare gets trialled in both. my skin is normal leaning dehydrated; my goal is taking my skin from ‘good’ to ‘perfect’.
i realized both my staple moisturizers come from mary&may, so they deserve a little rave; they’ve been in literal daily use since i first bought them.
**blackberry idebenone intense cream**
irreplaceable holy grail. so comforting, nourishing, rich, hydrating, & imparts this *unbelievable* luminous radiance. glass skin incarnate. my asian aunties gasp over my skin every lunar new year (the greatest endorsement imo). i also adore the pudding texture and the whole experience is just luxurious; i’ve panned a couple and stock up when on it’s sale. imo its best benefit is perfect texture and glow and it’s usually perfect, but on especially cold dry winter nights i do layer an extra occlusive moisturizer (illiyoon).
**sensitive soothing gel cream**
not as cult status, but i got this in a set and i love it. idk what’s in mary&mary creams but the glow is UNMATCHED, and in a luminous way rather than shiny. the blackberry cream can be a bit rich for me on my warmest tropical days – this, is the perfect alternative. so light and breathable on the skin even on the most suffocating nights, yet still hydrating and moisturizing with that hydrated refined radiance. very comfortable and absorbs quickly.
the blackberry cream is soothing in a rich, comforting way; this one is soothing in a calming, cooling way, so i save it for the tropics. i’ve only had this one for a season but it’s on my RP list once done. im glad they both come in tubes bc i hate jars.
