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.

Perfect for beginners

As a beginner with retinol, I really like this product and have repurchased it several times! It is also really moisturizing.

Good retinol serum for beginners

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

Great long-term results

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

Amazing!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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!
