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.

A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

reliable
Works well, as with other Inkey products the packaging isn't perfect but I feel for the price it's a good product, and I can reorder often without breaking the bank.

Not the one
This didn’t do much for me. Not a good product at all

Great Product!
Great product! Not too irritating on the skin, creates a smooth finish. Causes purging a little bit, but expected as it’s a retinoid.

Great introductory retinol!
I’ve been worried about trying retinol again as I’ve had some bad experiences with my sensitive skin. This is a great introductory retinol serum! I’ve used it 2-3x a week and it has helped with evening my skin, reducing lines and giving my skin that overall plump glow.

Nice
I started using this recently so difficult to say it's given me many results just yet, my skin feels nice after it and I've gotten a few breakouts (purging) look forward to hopefully seeing good results

The inky retinol
The product has a gel texture that is well absorbed, an unbearable smell, what's more, there is no information about the percentage of retinol it contains, I purchased it once for the purpose of preserving and maintaining the skin, without any visible change

Gentle
I have used this product for years now and it's a good every day retinol to use, not irritating or drying. I am an oily skin type and for majority of nights this cream paired with a bit of squalane oil is all I need for bright skin.

great for beginners
this is a good retinol to start with on your retinoids journey. it's gentle so it didn't break me out. i only use this twice a week max. bcs it does make my skin feel dry afterwards.
