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.

Amazing
Very effective and affordable product. I've been using it for about two months, and I see that the texture of my skin improved. I will definitely repurchase.

Good retinol serum for beginners
This is my first retinol product. I’ve been using it for a month. At first I used it once a week and then it became more frequent. The result is visible already in the morning, new pimples immediately dry up, but it takes a lot of time to get rid of scars. The face gets also dried, but after using moisturizing products I'm fine. I'm glad I chose this product.

Skin feels smoother
Really liking this so far. I feel like my skin feels smoother after use and I don’t experience any after effects on my skin. Early days to see significant improvement but based on other Inky products I am confident it will do what it says on the tin

First time user
I discovered retinol by reading an article about it and this was recommended in it. Although I haven’t tried any others, I’ve heard from different skincare sources that this is one of the best. I had no bad reaction to it, despite having sensitive skin, and noticed the difference in my skin very quickly, especially with scars I had from maskne! Will definitely be buying again.Â

Great long-term results
Waited six weeks to leave this review since that’s the term for skin cell turnover. This is a great product but it will not deliver immediate results so a ton of patience is required. You shouldn’t expect it to work on its own as it needs to be one component in a holistic skincare routine. It needs to be complemented by a sunscreen and a moisturizer to deliver the best results. After six weeks, it improved the appearance of some of my deepest acne scarring (and I truly mean years of acne scarring). Overall, the evenness and tone of my skin has improved, but continuing to build the levels of this product in my skin will be the only savior going forward.Â

Amazing!
I’ve wanted to try the inkey list for a while and i’m very glad i did, this doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all. I’ve used it every other day after niacinamide for a month now and it hasn’t dried out my skin or irritated it in anyway. I had lots of dark acne scars on my cheeks that have been there for years and now they’re almost completely gone in just a month!! definitely recommend.

Unsure
Still early days have been building up slowly to everyday use. No breakouts or anything so far, has left my skin feeling softer and looking more fresh. It does smell a bit like curry though which I find bizarre and noticed another customer found the same! It's not a super strong or obvious smell... and nobody has commented... but I'm not sure why it has a curry tinge to it!
