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.

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.

Does not work for me
It's a lovely texture, but compared to other retinols I really felt this had no effect on my skin whatsoever other than mild hydration.

Saw results within 3 uses
I use this on my face before applying mineral sunscreen. I'm impressed - it makes my pimples heal faster, reduces the speed of hyperpigmentation which I'm prone too, has a slow but noticeable reduction on existing lines, and plays well with every product I've applied alongside it. I was confused as to why it tingles sometimes but now suspect its the sodium ascorbate which is a form of Vitamin C. I'm delighted this is fragrance free and essential oils free otherwise I'd never have bought it.

Gave me pimples
I got this from the goodie bag and at first, I thought it was great. No irritation and smooth feel when applied. So I ordered another tube for myself, and now I'm regretting it because, after 5 nights of continued use, it is giving me pimples. Although I occasionally suffer from clogged pores, they rarely break out into pimples so I was surprised to have found that after the initial positive results I got, the product started giving me pimples 3-4 days in. I changed nothing in my routine. I don't know what it is in the product that's causing this, but in any case, this product is not for me...
