Refreshing and Exciting


The first impression of Marienmay's 'Spicule Retinol PDRN Cream' is striking. Upon application, a slight tingling sensation is felt on the skin. Initially, this feeling may seem unusual, but after using it for over a month, it has become familiar and even enjoyable.

This sensation is due to the inclusion of 'spicules,' which are tiny needles smaller than pores. Spicules provide physical micro-stimulation to the skin, aiding in the absorption of active ingredients and creating a pathway for them to penetrate the skin. This process generates the characteristic tingling sensation. The product contains marine-derived natural micro spicules that are about one-fortieth the size of a pore.

The key ingredients are retinol, known for its effectiveness in improving skin wrinkles, and polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), which promotes skin recovery. The high concentration of natural micro spicules helps these ingredients absorb effectively into the skin.

Retinol and PDRN are also differentiated from other products. The high-concentration retinol is processed into a nano-liposomal form to reduce skin irritation, while low-molecular-weight plant-based PDRN aids in the recovery of skin that may become sensitive after retinol use and strengthens the collagen barrier.

The cream applies smoothly without a thick feeling. It is notable that no artificial colors are added, allowing the natural light yellow hue of retinol to shine through.

To cater to sensitive skin, the product incorporates a 'Safe 4X Formula' with 2% D-panthenol for skin soothing, hyaluronic acid for hydration, allantoin to assist in skin recovery, and ceramide NP to help form a protective barrier.

After using it for about a month, I noticed improvements in my skin's elasticity and texture.

Proper application is essential. After cleansing, avoid the sensitive eye area and other easily irritated spots, and gently press the cream into the skin with your palms for absorption. Due to the nature of retinol, skin may become dry, so it is recommended to use a moisturizing or soothing product afterward.

If you are not accustomed to spicules, it is advisable to start using the cream 2-3 times a week in the evening and gradually increase the frequency. If there is no significant irritation, daily use is recommended.
