Great retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve been using this product for a while now and have recommended friends. It’s gentle yet effective. I’ve only experienced very minor irritation - a dry patch on my dry-prone skin.

Nice product for a good price

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I started to include this into my daily skincare routine and I was pleased with it. It’s so cheap and good for those who are just started out using retinol, so I would definitely recommend this for beginners . I’m 23 and just started using it.

An affordable retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really like this product. I like my skincare affordable, fuss free and with results and The Inkey List always gives me that.  I have sensitive skin that’s prone to dryness, so if you are similar then I highly recommend using a thick heavier cream/balm product at the end of your nighttime routine when you use this (I recommend the La Roche Posay Cicaplast baume) to protect your skin barrier. It can be a touch irritating but it’s never been enough that I’ve had to wash it off. I often get a tingle across my face.  Retinoids are known for being a kinda of hardcore ingredient but I’d say from my experience this has been pleasant to use.

Inkey retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I absolutely love this product, after years of suffering acne and then turning 30 I decided to seriously look into a decent skin care routine I use this nightly along with other products and although it took a couple of months my skin is better than ever and looks much more firm. It smells wheaty but a little goes along way. I just wish the tube was bigger.

Great quality

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

As always a great product from Inky, moderately priced so it doesn't feel like you're breaking the bank to give your skin the best! I've had no sensitivity or reaction to this serum and would definitely recommend.

Perfect product for my skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I definitely feel a difference to my skin. I do feel a little tingle after use but I think is a great starter retinol product. My skin copes with this product but don’t think it would manage anything stronger.

first time user

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Loving this product so far. It's been a couple of weeks but I have definitely noticed a difference in the texture and quality of my skin, and have been getting so many compliments! I was a bit skeptical at first as someone with quite sensitive skin but have had no issues using this and have already ramped up to using it every night. So grateful for this brand, it works a treat!
