Skin care doesn't have to be confusing. The INKEY List is on a mission to debunk beauty jargon and put the power of knowledge in your hands. Its straight-talking range includes all the industry's best-loved heroes (from retinol to hyaluronic acid) in no-frills formulations that deliver incredible results. A case in point? The Retinol Serum (30ml), a nighttime treatment that works to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture.
Looking for a skin care reset while you sleep? Cue The INKEY List's Retinol Serum (10ml).
A derivative of vitamin A, retinol refreshes your complexion. Calling on two different forms of this hard-working ingredient, this concoction unites 1% retinyl acetate to gently resurface skin while a 0.5% granactive retinoid leaves your skin feeling plumper. Plus, its slow-release formula minimises sensitivity while still minimising fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and blemishes. That's not all; it's also infused with squalane to intensely hydrate your visage and protect your delicate moisture barrier. The results? A complexion that looks brighter, smoother and firmer.
Water (Aqua/Eau), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Retinyl Acetate, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Phospholipids, Squalane, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Carbomer, Polysorbate 60, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycolipids, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Phytate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Tocopherol, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Only use Retinol Serum in your PM skin care routine. After cleansing and hydrating, apply a pea-sized amount of Retinol Serum and massage into to the face and neck. Follow with preferred moisturiser. Start off using it 1-2 times per week and increase gradually if your skin can tolerate more frequent use.
Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

Don't bother
Does absolutely nothing, not even a slight tingle/sensation or a difference.

Solid retinol serum for beginners
I was very anxious to start using retinol, but definitely want to reap the multiple benefits it comes with. This one by The Inkey List is great if you're looking to dabble in the world of anti-aging skincare. I mostly struggle with dullness, texture and some hyperpigmentation and this product has definitely helped improve a lot of that, but you might need to switch up to a stronger product at some point. If you have very sensitive or reactive skin like myself, you might want to layer some hydrating products underneath or do the sandwich method ( moisturizer + retinol + moisturizer )

I have never had a 'skin routine' before but decided as I get older I should try. This product just feels great and when I wake up my skin feels lovely.

favourite retinol serum for beginners
A super gentle product combining 2 types of retinoids raising the chances of retinoids benefits avoiding irritation and preparing the skin for higher percentages in the future. After trying various retionids I would recommend this serum to my friends and newbies!

Great product
I have often paid far far more for products and had nothing like this positive effect. It has made a really noticeable difference and I am going to extend my range.

Great product
This is my first retinol product. After using it for a few weeks, I have had no adverse reactions and am seeing a difference - my face is smoother and just looks better.

Great
I don't usually review things but this has really lessened my dark circles (in combination with a good eye cream) and how large my pores look, both of which are hereditary. Really recommend this to anyone looking for a solution to these issues.
