The INKEY List Back to Basics: Your Breakout Recipe

The INKEY List's aim is simple: to break through beauty jargon to deliver a straightforward take on the most-wanted ingredients in skin care. Here to take the guesswork out of treating congested complexions is the Back to Basics: Your Breakout Recipe collection — a carefully curated selection of three hero formulas that will care for spot-prone skin.

The recipe for clearer, healthy and balanced skin lies within the Inkey List’s latest offering. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by choice and unsure what will really work, then this trio of skin care staples is just the skin care saviour you need.

The right cleanser works wonders on a problematic complexion, so (of course) the Salicylic Acid Cleanser was going to be the starting point for this collection. Formulated with a zinc compound to help control excess sebum, while allantoin — an anti-irritant — helps soothe and protect skin, this hard-working wash removes impurities while battling breakouts and blackheads. Created to banish pesky blemishes without drying out your delicate skin, the Succinic Acid Blemish Treatment gently exfoliates dead skin cells and reduces excess oil. Brimming with hyaluronic acid, succinic acid and salicylic acid, this is a must to clear spots… fast. Rich in an ‘Omega Ceramide Complex’, the Omega Water Cream promises to optimise skin’s hydration levels without leaving a trace of stickiness or oiliness. All of this while drawing in much-needed moisture and regulating oil production? We’re sold!
