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.

Great
Genuinely the best retinol I’ve used, the concentration for the price is superb, I was worried about the containers as I’d read the reviews beforehand, but I’ve found no issue, had no leaking, etc., I would 1000% recommend and but make sure to use sparingly!!

Good beginner product
This is a pretty good beginner retinol product. Almost no retinol burn just a little breaking out in the first few weeks. I don't really have wrinkles but think some lines have softened and skin looks better. Probably going to move to a higher concentration product once I've finished this one and my skin is more used to the retinol

Love
This is the second retinoid product I have tried, the first was The Ordinary's 0.2% in squalene - which did nothing for me and was super oily. THIS, on the other hand, I've been using for 2 or 3 weeks now and it's amazing. It distributes and absorbs beautifully, love the formula. As for results, I have noticed a reduction in breakouts (I have acne just on my chin), as well as a shorter time for a pimple to heal. A few days into starting using this I got a big pimple on my cheekbone and my forehead which is very unusual for me, I think this may have been the purging that is common with retinoids. My skin seems plumper too! Overall I LOVE!

Amazing product
I love this product. I like the texture and the consistency.. it smells a little but all retinol products have a weird smell (at least for me). And if you use it correctly you will start to see results.

Will definitly buy it again!!
I see great results. My skin feels tighter, my pores are beginning to become invisible, my acne is disappearing and my scars are fading!! The only thing I didn't like was the packaging because it spills a lot of the product in the cap. This result is mixing the oxidised product with new.

Great introduction to retinoids
It's incredible gentle, which makes it a great choice for those who has never tried retinoids before, or for those who have previously had irritations due to retinoids. I like that it's also very hydrating - definitely another plus for those who are sensitive to retinoids (me lol). The texture is creamy, but it still feels lightweight. Let it dry for a a couple of minutes before applying a moisturiser, since it doesn't absorb into the skin immediately. I have another tube I need to finish, and then I'm going to try a stronger retinoid from Medik8.

Great
That's my first retinol product and I don't have anything to compare it with, but I'm really happy. I really like the texture, I didn't want any oily formulas. I've already bought a second tube, since it looks like you need to use it for long time to see results.

Terrible packaging
I really liked the product, but I will not buy it again. The packaging is very poorly made and ends up pouring a huge amount on the product lid, ending up being wasted. The packaging is the weakest point on The Inkey List, something to improve, because the products in general are very good and do not cause irritation. The packaging makes you never want to buy again.
