The INKEY List Retinol Serum 30ml

After being on medication for acne, I found this was one of the most helpful products to prevent breakouts. The retinol isn't irritating on my skin and it's slowly helping to get rid of scars and hyperpigmentation left by my acne! I have recommended it to so many friends.

Inkey list is already my favourite brand for skincare. They’re gentle, soft, and stick to the basics.  Their Retinol is amazing! It’s a great way to introduce retinol into your skincare!  The packaging is simple for starters, minimal but on the bottom it tells you when to apply the product in what order (cleanse, treat ect).  This product is incredibly easy to use and pairs well with the retinol eye cream as well. This is perfect to start your winter skincare, to prepare your glowy skin for summer.  #autumnEssentials  

Loved it!! It is a moderate retinol in my opinion, it is not too strong but not too weak, definitely would advice to hydrate your skin before and after especially in your first few uses! The best retinol I tried so far!!

As someone with sensitive skin and early signs of hyperpigmentation, I was intimidated by retinol for a long time but this one made the transition smooth and irritation-free. The formula is gentle but still effective. I noticed a visible difference in texture and tone after a few weeks of consistent use. I started with 1–2 nights a week, layered with a simple moisturiser to buffer, and made sure to use SPF during the day. My skin felt softer and looked clearer, with some fading of old blemish marks. No burning, no peeling just slow, steady results. I love that it's affordable and straightforward. The packaging keeps the product stable, and it spreads easily without feeling greasy. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because I wish it came in a slightly more hydrating base, something a little more cushiony would make it perfect for dry/sensitive skin types. That said, if you’re new to retinol or have struggled with harsher versions in the past, this is a fantastic place to start. My skin feels stronger, smoother, and more even-toned. It’s earned a permanent spot in my night routine.
