{The INKEY List Salicylic Acid Cleanser}

A concoction of salicylic acid, zinc and allantoin is a must-have for acne-prone skin types. This multi-tasking cleanser not only removes make up, but also works hard to unclog your pores, banish breakouts and control excess oil production. Skin looks brighter, clearer and more even.

 

{The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid Serum}

Calling all hyaluronic acid devotees – you’re in for a treat! This lightly foaming cleanser gently removes makeup, impurities and the day’s skin care. But it’s so much more than that. A unique formula of 1% inulin and 1% hyaluronic acid complex restores your skin barrier and swaddles your skin in long-lasting hydration.

{The INKEY List Omega Water Cream Moisturiser}

This day and night moisturiser truly has it all. A ceramide complexion – made from a triple threat of omegas – traps moisture and boosts skin elasticity. 5% glycerin acts as a moisture magnet to attract hydration, while niacinamide reduces redness and keep breakouts at bay. What more could we ask for?

 

{The INKEY List PCA Bond Repair Hair Treatment}

Treat stressed-out strands to this strengthening hair treatment. A clever cocktail of hair-rescuing ingredients reduces frizz, strengthens the hair shaft and protects your locks from future damage. Spray onto towel-dried hair to dial up the glossiness, softness and healthiness of your strands.

{The INKEY List Tranexamic Acid Serum}

Supercharge your beauty sleep with this overnight mask. Powered by 2% tranexamic acid, it evens out dark spots and hyperpigmentation as you slumber. Supported by skin-boosting 2% vitamin C and acai berry, this antioxidant-rich formula evens out tone and brightens your complexion.

IS THE INKEY LIST CRUELTY-FREE?

The INKEY List is 100% cruelty-free. They don't test finished products or ingredients on animals, nor do their suppliers or third parties. And they don’t sell their products where animal testing is required by law.
