Product Overview

Mary&May Azelaic Acid Spicule PDRN Spot Cream is designed for blemish-prone skin experiencing excess oil, clogged-looking pores, uneven texture, and post-acne marks.

The formula combines 2% azelaic acid with 5% niacinamide to help improve the appearance of uneven tone and blemish-related discoloration. Its 3,000 ppm micro-spicules, derived from hydrolyzed sponge, provide a distinctive texture-refining approach. Tea tree leaf water, tea tree leaf oil, and zinc PCA complement the blemish-care formula.

Panthenol, madecassoside, centella asiatica extract, sodium hyaluronate, and ceramide NP help condition the skin and support hydration. The product also contains sodium DNA, a PDRN-related ingredient used in skincare formulations.

Because this formula combines micro-spicules with exfoliating ingredients, it is best introduced gradually rather than immediately used every day. It may be especially relevant for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin, but sensitive or barrier-compromised skin should use extra caution.

How to Use

1. Cleanse your face and complete your usual toner or serum steps.
2. Apply a moderate amount to targeted blemish-prone areas, or as directed on the packaging.
3. Gently spread the cream without vigorous rubbing.
4. Follow with moisturizer if additional hydration is needed.
5. Begin with evening use 2–3 times per week. Increase frequency only if your skin tolerates it comfortably.
6. Apply sunscreen during the daytime.

How Not to Use

• Do not rub aggressively, as the formula contains micro-spicules.
• Avoid the eye area, lips, and delicate skin around the nostrils.
• Do not apply to broken, freshly irritated, or compromised skin.
• Avoid using it in the same routine initially with strong exfoliating acids, retinoids, or other potentially irritating treatments.
• Discontinue use if you experience persistent burning, significant redness, swelling, or irritation.
• Do not use daily from the beginning; introduce it gradually.
• Patch-test before first use, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Who Can Use

• People with oily or combination skin.
• Those experiencing blemishes or clogged-looking pores.
• People concerned about the appearance of post-acne marks and uneven skin tone.
• Those looking to improve the appearance of rough texture and excess shine.

Sensitive, highly reactive, or barrier-damaged skin may not tolerate micro-spicule products well. If you have persistent acne or are using prescription acne treatments, consult a dermatologist before introducing this product.
