Product details

Introducing the ultimate entry-level Vitamin A solution designed to transform your skincare routine. The INKEY List Retinol Serum utilizes an innovative slow-release formula to target the primary signs of ageing, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture without causing the intense irritation typically associated with traditional retinoids.

Formulated with a blend of one percent RetiStar stabilised retinol and half a percent Granactive Retinoid, this lightweight, fast-absorbing serum actively encourages cellular turnover and boosts collagen production. Perfect for normal, combination, and oily skin types, it helps clear up breakouts by keeping pores unclogged while visibly softening fine lines and deep wrinkles.

This vegan-friendly and fragrance-free treatment delivers a brighter, more refined complexion over time, making it an essential night-time staple for anyone seeking a youthful, radiant glow.

  1. Use exclusively in your PM skincare routine.
  2. After cleansing and applying hydrating serums like Hyaluronic Acid, dispense a pea-sized amount of the serum.
  3. Gently massage it into your face and neck, ensuring you avoid the immediate eye area.
  4. Follow up with your preferred nighttime moisturizer.
  5. Start by applying it just 1 to 3 times a week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
  6. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.

    Product is as described

    My first time trying a product with retinol. My skin type is neither oily, dry, or sensitive. I use this product 1-2 times a day after I've washed my face and used toner. Some reviews complain about the smell, I didn't find it that bad. Especially since after I apply it, I use a serum once it's dried. It feels moisturizing, and you don't need to apply too much. I'll likely be purchasing again 👍

    Great product

    This serum is great. The size is prefect, doesn't irritate my skin, great value for the money. I was shocked I have very sensitive skin and this product was worth it.
