Effective, gentle retinol serum at a great value!
This has helped refine the texture of my 55 year old skin and the value is fantastic! It has a liquid feel and takes a very tiny amount to see benefits to your skin. Make sure you use sunscreen when applying this product to your skin or the sun will do more damage as you are trying to treat the aging skin. This retinol has never irritated my sensitive skin or even made my skin red. It is lightweight and can be easily applied using your fingers to massage it in before applying your serums, moisturizer and any facial oils you may need. The only complaint I have is that the opening is too large for the viscosity of this product and it tends to come out way too fast! I don’t squeeze the bottle to dispense because of this fact and I simply turn the bottle upside down and place my finger against the opening as a stopper to allow the tiniest drop to come out and then I apply it section by section to my face. I wish they had a bottle with a dropper for dispensing, however, you just need to be careful dispensing it or a huge amount will come out all at once which wastes the retinol serum. This retinol serum is a high quality skin care product for a great price!

Great quality
Great product. Good quality for the price. Keeps skin smooth and moist. Minimal smell and lots of compliments on my skin texture and brightness.

This works great. It does have a slight smell, but it’s not bad at all.
I have been using the serum for over six months. I love it. It goes on light. I use it after I put on toner then I put on the serum and then a lotion over it great.

Works Great
I’ve been using this for over a month now and I use it every 3-4 days. It’s a great retinol and does the job. I got this one because it doesn’t have pore-clogging ingredients like the Cerave one that I used to use and it also doesn’t break the bank. It does have a distinguishing scent though, I do have to say. Otherwise the Inkey list has great products so I recommend.

Highly recommend this retinol it's affordable and it works
The inkey list is a great brand this is coming from a Sephora Beauty advisor.. their retinol serum is top-notch just make sure that you get a new retinol serum I want up getting this particular one and I think it was kind of older because it was a little thicker consistency than us retinol serum usually is... but working in the Beauty world I know that things like that happen so it does not determine one bit against this brand I still would highly recommend them for about everything

Game changer!
I was so nervous to try this product but it really works! I am fair skinned with mild rosacea and typically very sensitive to anti-aging products. I did have 2-3 weeks of purging with lots of breakouts but after the 3rd week it suddenly all stopped. It's been about 3 months now and I've noticed less redness on my skin, very little breakouts, smaller and cleaner pores, and glowy skin! I used it daily from the start but sparingly, now I apply a generous amount and follow up with moisturizer. :)

Eh
Why did you pick this product vs others?: Better retinols out there. Not an offensive smell like some but not great either

Fine lines
Goes on smooth and absorbs well. Leaves my skin feeling smooth no irritation. In the morning my skin feels very soft and the fine lines on my forehead are less visible. I am very pleased with this product. I will be buying again!

Excellent rapport qualité prix. Pour moi un des meilleurs serum retinol du marché et à un prix imbattable. Je l'utilise depuis plus d'un an et je pense voir un impact. J'en mets un peu plus sous les yeux pour limiter les poches et depuis que je fais ça, fini les cernes bleues/noises ou l'effet yeux gonflés.

I’ve been using The INKEY List Retinol Serum (30ml) for a while now, and it has genuinely made my skin smoother, softer, and more refined. If you want the benefits of retinol without harsh irritation, this is an excellent choice. ✨ Results & Skin Feel The biggest difference I’ve noticed is how smooth and even my skin feels. Over time, it has helped improve skin texture, brightness, and overall softness, making my face look more polished and healthier. My skin feels less rough, more balanced, and visually more refreshed. 🧬 Gentle Yet Effective Retinol This serum uses a slow-release retinol formula, which means it works gradually to improve fine lines, uneven tone, and early signs of ageing without causing redness or peeling. It’s a great option for both beginners and experienced retinol users who want steady, low-irritation results. 💧 Hydrating & Lightweight Texture The texture is lightweight, silky, and non-greasy, and it absorbs quickly without feeling heavy. It layers well with moisturiser and doesn’t leave the skin sticky. Thanks to squalane and hydrating ingredients, it keeps the skin feeling comfortable instead of dry. 🌿 Skin-Friendly Formula • Fragrance-free • Cruelty-free & vegan • Suitable for sensitive & acne-prone skin • Doesn’t clog pores • No strong smell or burning sensation 🌙 How I Use It I apply it at night, starting a few times per week, followed by a moisturiser. With consistent use, my skin feels smoother, clearer, and more refined. Perfect for building a long-term skincare routine. 📦 Packaging & Value The tube packaging is clean, simple, travel-friendly, and easy to control the amount. Considering the quality, effectiveness, and price, this is fantastic value compared to many high-end retinol products. ✅ Pros: • Makes skin noticeably smoother • Gentle, slow-release retinol • Lightweight & non-greasy • No irritation or strong smell • Great for beginners & long-term use • Affordable but effective ⚠️ Minor Cons: • Results take time (consistent use needed) • Must use SPF in daytime when using retinol ⭐ Final Verdict If you want a retinol serum that improves skin smoothness, texture, and overall appearance without harsh side effects, this is a brilliant choice. Affordable, effective, and skin-friendly — perfect for a healthy, glowing skincare routine.
