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.

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.

A must have skin care staple
Really love this! I didn’t experience any irritation or inflammation, and my skin is so smooth. It works really well within my skin care regime (I use Ole Henriksen) and doesn’t interfere with how any of these products work. A little does go along way, but I use mine every night so it’ll be interesting to see how long it takes before I need to replace.

Good but haven't noticed huge results
This was my first time using any sort of retinol. I'm in my early 20's and have combination leaning oily skin. I was hoping this could combat any early stages of ageing, as well as help with skin clarity and evenness. I've been using it every other day, in the PM, for around four months now. I haven't seen any big changes or results, but maybe I need something stronger? At least I haven't noticed any irritation at all. The product also feels very nice on the skin and plays well into the rest of my routine. I'll keep using it for now, but I'm not sure if I'd repurchase.

Great Product
On my 3rd bottle. Great product! Skin looks smoother and has really helped with hyperpigmentation. Definitely worth a try.

Repurchased
I have a huge wrinkle between my eyebrows from squinting (bad eyes) and it helped with evening my skin out. It also made my skin have a smoother texture since I have acne-prone skin.
