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.

Good for combo, blemishes, sensitive skin
Great product. I use it sometimes in the evening (after niacinamide) and I can tell in the morning that my skin is doing better. Nice smell and consistency, I do not mind the yellow colour. Not overly irritating, I use it sometimes on under eye area. (I have combo skin prone to acne, a little bit on the sensitive skin side)

I appreciate that this isn’t the strongest retinol you can buy but because it is so easy on the skin I can use it every single night. I’ve had prescription strength retinol which I used a couple of times, it made my skin feel dreadful, I stopped for a while, repeat, repeat, repeat! So a weaker strength that I actually use is going to do me more good than a stronger product that sits in a drawer. My skin loves this, the texture is changing, lines are softening and I just look better. I’d highly recommend it.

I honestly look 5 years younger...
I cannot rave about this product enough. It was an instant visual difference in my face. After the first application, my fella asked why my skin was so smooth....and it's just got better. Everyone is commenting on how good my skin looks!! I don't think I could be without this now!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Amazing starter retinol
This was my first time using retinol (apart from using 0.025 prescription tretinoin once before) and it was such a joy to use. The texture was lovely and every time I used this, I woke up with super supple and bright skin. I really hope they bring out more retinol in higher strengths, as I am looking to use something more punchy.

Amazing
I’ve used this for over a week now and it has already started to reduce the redness of my skin and my acne scarring! I have particularly sensitive skin but this hasn’t irritated it at all, I would definitely recommend it!

Brighter skin
Noticeably brighter skin within a week, not noticed a reduction in fine lines as much but my skin is glowing.

Perfect for my sensitive skin
After two weeks of use I am so happy with how refreshed my skin is! My skin is dry and sensitive, I experienced minimal flaking & no adverse reactions, after a few applications every other night I felt ready to use this every night. I use this in combination with a Squalane cleanser, PHA toner, basic moisturiser & Squalane serum.

Excellent
A very good retinol. You can see the results.Also a very pleasant texture that it isn't heavy on the skin. Much better that retinol in squalane oil.

Great.
Just bought my second lot of this, my first purchase lasted me 6 months of nightly use which is incredible value for the price. It smells a little odd but goes on smoothly and absorbs nicely, with no oily residue like I was getting with The Ordinary. I've had no irritation and my skin looks great.
