Brand note

Mary&May is a budget-friendly Korean skincare brand that creators consistently reach for when they want targeted ingredients like tranexamic acid, glutathione, and peptides without the price tag. The Tranexamic Acid+Glutathione Eye Cream is the clear anchor — a silky, nourishing formula that doubles as a spot treatment for dark circles and hyperpigmentation, and at around £12 for a generous amount, it's a low-risk entry point for anyone curious about K-beauty.
