{"product_id":"mary-may-spicule-retinol-pdrn-cream","title":"MARY \u0026 MAY Spicule Retinol PDRN Cream","description":"The MARY \u0026amp; MAY Spicule Retinol PDRN Cream brings retinol into your evening routine. It works without the harshness many people expect from retinol. Nano-liposomal retinol visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores. Marine micro-spicules create a gentle delivery path that carries each active deeper into the skin.\n\nAlongside the retinol, PDRN works as a recovery booster, calming the skin and supporting its natural repair process. Ceramide, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, and allantoin all support the barrier. They keep the skin feeling comfortable through every stage of adjustment.\n\nThis fragrance-free cream is dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin. It suits all skin types, including those who have found retinol too harsh before. If you have fine lines, large pores, or rough texture, this cream addresses all three. ** \u003carticle\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the MARY \u0026amp; MAY Spicule Retinol PDRN Cream Does for Your Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRetinol is one of the most studied ingredients in skincare. Decades of evidence back its ability to reduce visible signs of ageing. The challenge most people face is not the ingredient itself. It is the irritation, flaking, and barrier disruption that often come with it. MARY \u0026amp; MAY built this cream to close that gap. Nano-liposomal retinol is encapsulated inside tiny lipid spheres. These spheres slow its release and soften its impact on the skin. Marine micro-spicules at 2,000 ppm create microscopic channels across the surface. They carry retinol and other actives deeper than a standard cream can reach. Over weeks of consistent evening use, this combination visibly reduces fine lines and softens wrinkles. Pore appearance shrinks. Skin texture becomes smoother, more refined, and clearer in tone. PDRN calms the stress retinol can create and supports the skin's repair cycle through the night. Results build steadily without forcing you through weeks of raw, uncomfortable skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Texture and How It Feels on Your Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a lightweight cream that spreads easily and absorbs quickly. It does not leave a heavy or greasy feel once it is in. You will not wake up with the pillow-stuck sensation of thicker overnight formulas. The texture is smooth and fluid without being watery. It applies evenly across the face without pulling or dragging. When you first use it, you may notice a mild tingling across the skin. This is the marine micro-spicules creating those delivery channels. It is the product working, not an allergic reaction. For most people the sensation is very mild and fades within a few minutes. It becomes barely noticeable as your skin adjusts over the first week or two. The cream has a soft natural yellow tint from beta-carotene in the formula. It blends into the skin without leaving any visible colour. In the morning your skin feels softer and more settled than when you went to sleep. Nothing is rinsed off. The formula absorbs fully overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Ingredients That Nourish and Protect Your Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEight active ingredients are doing the work inside this formula, each with a specific role. Nano-liposomal retinol stays stable from bottle to skin. It absorbs gradually so the surface does not take the full impact at once. Marine micro-spicules at 2,000 ppm provide a physical delivery pathway. They ensure retinol reaches the deeper layers where it influences cell turnover. PDRN acts as a recovery signal that calms redness and supports collagen structure. Panthenol at 2% soothes and strengthens the barrier, helping it hold onto moisture while the skin adapts. Ceramide NP fills the microscopic gaps in the lipid barrier to prevent moisture loss. Sodium hyaluronate draws moisture into the skin to maintain hydration levels. Allantoin calms surface irritation and supports recovery after each night of use. Niacinamide brightens skin tone, refines pores, and reinforces the barrier. Each ingredient was chosen to support the others. The recovery infrastructure is built in from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEvening Use and Where It Fits in Your Routine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis cream is for the evening only. Retinol is photosensitive, and applying it in the morning raises the chance of sun sensitivity. Use it as the last step in your night routine, after cleansing, toning, and any serums or essences. Take a pea-sized amount and smooth it gently over your face. Avoid the eye area and lips. Press your palms lightly against your skin for a few seconds to encourage absorption. If you are new to retinol, start with two or three evenings a week. Most skin needs four to six weeks to build up tolerance. The sandwich method helps if your skin is particularly sensitive. Apply a thin layer of moisturiser first, then the retinol cream on top. This slows absorption slightly and reduces the chance of a sharp reaction. Once your skin has adjusted, results build steadily with regular use. Apply SPF 30 or higher every single morning when retinol is in your routine. This is non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Cream Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis cream is for anyone ready to introduce retinol but not willing to endure months of peeling and redness. It suits all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. If you have visible fine lines or deeper wrinkles, this formula addresses them directly. If enlarged pores catch the light and frustrate you, this helps. If your texture feels rough and congested, consistent use refines it. The cream also works on post-breakout marks and dull, uneven skin that lacks clarity. Ceramide, PDRN, panthenol, and allantoin support the barrier throughout the process, not just on rest days. The formula is fragrance-free and dermatologically tested. It is a sensible option for those who have reacted badly to retinol before. Start with two evenings a week. Keep the rest of your routine simple: a gentle cleanser, a plain moisturiser, and morning SPF. Give it six consistent weeks. That is enough time to see what a well-built retinol cream can do for your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e *** Use in the evening only. Retinol is photosensitive and should not be applied in the morning.\n\nStep 1: Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat dry.\nStep 2: Apply any toner, essence, or serum as usual.\nStep 3: Take a pea-sized amount of the cream.\nStep 4: Smooth it gently over your face in the direction of your skin.\nStep 5: Avoid the eye area and lips.\nStep 6: Press your palms lightly over your face to encourage absorption.\n\nIf you are new to retinol, start with 2 to 3 evenings per week. Allow 4 to 6 weeks before increasing frequency. Your skin builds tolerance gradually. For sensitive skin, try the sandwich method: apply a light moisturiser first, then the retinol cream on top. This softens the absorption rate and reduces any tingling.\n\nAlways apply SPF 30 or higher the following morning. This is non-negotiable when retinol is part of your routine.\n\nStore at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid sealed tightly. Each 15g tube typically lasts 4 to 6 weeks with daily evening use.\n\nPairs well with a gentle hydrating toner, a barrier-supporting serum, and a plain morning moisturiser with SPF. Keep the rest of your routine calm while your skin adjusts. **** Aqua (Water), Methylpropanediol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Caprylic\/Capric Triglyceride, Polypropylsilsesquioxane, C14-22 Alcohols, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate\/VP Copolymer, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Vinyl Dimethicone, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Acrylates\/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside, Arginine, Phytosteryl\/Behenyl\/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Cholesterol, Sodium Acrylate\/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Hydrolyzed Sponge, Polyisobutene, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Tocopherol, Allantoin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Retinol, Xanthan Gum, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Adenosine, Dextrin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Lauryl Glucoside, Polyglutamic Acid, Polyglyceryl-6 Laurate, Disodium EDTA, Ceramide NP, Caprylyl\/Capryl Glucoside, Sorbitan Oleate, Myristyl Glucoside, Stearic Acid, Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl p-Cresol, Glyceryl Acrylate\/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Oleic Acid, PVM\/MA Copolymer, Beta-Carotene, Sodium DNA ***** Hydrolyzed Sponge (marine micro-spicules, 2000 ppm  - acts as a micro-delivery system to carry actives deeper into skin, supports skin turnover and smooths texture); Retinol (nano-liposomal encapsulation  - visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores); Sodium DNA \/ PDRN (CICA PDRN recovery booster  - calms stressed skin, supports cellular recovery and strengthens the collagen barrier); Panthenol 2% (Vitamin B5  - soothes and repairs the skin barrier, improves moisture retention); Ceramide NP (reinforces the lipid barrier to prevent moisture loss); Sodium Hyaluronate (draws moisture into the skin to maintain hydration); Allantoin (calms irritation and supports skin recovery); Niacinamide (brightens skin tone, refines pores, and supports barrier function) ******","brand":"MARY \u0026 MAY","offers":[{"title":"15g","offer_id":55432550515073,"sku":"CH-MAM-CRM-0012","price":8.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/3325\/8815\/files\/C802BABE-7CB5-4301-A76D-1A3BD3B45416.png?v=1774088834","url":"https:\/\/calmhavenbeauty.co.uk\/products\/mary-may-spicule-retinol-pdrn-cream","provider":"Calm Haven Beauty","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
