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.

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.

Excellent product!
I really like this! I had been using another retinol formula and came to this one a little skeptical - but it's honestly the best I have tried! It is smooth, without being sticky, absorbs easily and feel a little tingly, but without being overwhelming - I just love it and am on my second bottle already.

Great product
This is my first retinol product and I love it. I have started using it every 3 days for the last 4 weeks. My skin is smoother and my hyperpigmentation has reduced a little.; I have eczema so I always take my time to introduce new products to my regimen so far so good. Will recommend.

The best ❤️❤️
The only product that works with my acne scars I’ve been using this for only a week and start to see improvements I don’t know yet about the fine lines but I wish The Inkey List has a higher percentage of retinol.

This is the first product I have introduced to retinol. It didn't give any breakouts, it made my skin smooth, nice product.

Great Product
I was using a sample of retinol by accident and my skin feels smoother and firmer. Decided to try out with The Inkey List Retinol Serum once a day. Only at night. Skin feels tighter and smoother in just 2 weeks’ time! Happy with the result!

Beginners luck
New to using retinol and this product has been fantastic - yes I definitely purged on the first 2 weeks but now my skin is doing better than ever. Not oily or heavy

So far, so good
I’ve been using this every other night for the past 2 months or so, and since a little bit goes a long way, I’ve still plenty to get through. Unsure if it’s in conjunction with me using a lactic acid serum on alternate nights with this retinol, but I’ve noticed an improvement in the appearance of my skin. My stubborn dark spots are starting to fade, and overall the texture of my skin feels so smooth and refined. This is the first retinol I’ve introduced to my routine and I’m seeing good results so far - I can’t fault this! It doesn’t feel irritating or dehydrating to my skin, plus since it’s only a tenner, I can’t recommend trying this enough. Give it a go!

Это хорошо/ It's good
ожидала жуткое шелушение кожи, однако использование прошло очень мягко. вау-эффекта не произошло, но моя кожа стала выглядеть лучше. использую каждый вечер и негативной реакции нет. кожа стала более гладкой, уменьшились и очистились черные точки. ************ I expected a terrible peeling of the skin, but the use went very gently. no wow effect, but my skin looks better. I use it every evening and there is no negative reaction. the skin became smoother, blackheads diminished and cleared.

Amazing
I have been using his for 1 week now in the evenings. I’ve noticed a massive difference in my skin texture, tone, pores and blackheads. Everything is so much better. I’ve tired many brand but the Inkey list is by far the best.
