Mary & May Blackberry Complex Cream Essence Miniature 30ml

Ingredients and their roles

• Ceramide NP: A barrier-lipid ingredient used in moisturising formulas to support a soft, comfortable skin surface.
• Centella asiatica extract: A botanical skin-conditioning ingredient that gives cica-focused products part of their characteristic formula profile.
• Sodium hyaluronate: A salt of hyaluronic acid used for moisture retention, contributing to the formula's hydrating feel.
• Glycerin: A humectant that binds moisture, helping the formula maintain a hydrated feel without adding an oil layer.
• Jojoba seed oil: An emollient oil that helps the product glide and leaves the applied area feeling softer.
• Vitamin E: An antioxidant and conditioning ingredient used within the formula; its presence does not establish a clinical treatment effect.

Mix the cream and essence layers

The visible layers are part of the Cream Essence format. Shake as directed before dispensing so the application combines them, rather than drawing repeatedly from only one layer. The miniature contains 30ml and is a separate size choice from larger bottles in the same range.

A separate essence step

This Mary & May essence sits between cleansing and your finishing cream. An essence is useful when you want to adjust the hydration layer without replacing the moisturiser you already like. Spread it gently and allow the surface to settle before applying the next product, especially when your routine ends with makeup.

How to use

Shake the contents to mix the cream layer and the essence layer before use. Take an appropriate amount on the palm of your hand and let it absorb

Use clean palms to distribute the essence across the face. Concentrate on even coverage rather than a thick wet layer. If you use a toner as well, apply the lighter liquid first unless the directions for this formula specify a different sequence.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I shake this essence?

The product combines a cream layer with a lighter essence layer. Shaking as directed mixes them for the intended application; separation should be assessed against the pack instructions.

Should I use a toner as well?

A separate toner is optional. With this essence, choose the number of layers according to your routine and skin comfort; repeating similar hydration steps is not necessary for everyone.

Do I rinse the essence off?

Follow the directions below for this essence. A leave-on essence stays on the skin before moisturiser; it should not be used as a cleansing product or rubbed away with a towel.
