Skin care doesn't have to be confusing. The INKEY List is on a mission to debunk beauty jargon and put the power of knowledge in your hands. Its straight-talking range includes all the industry's best-loved heroes (from retinol to hyaluronic acid) in no-frills formulations that deliver incredible results. A case in point? The Retinol Serum (30ml), a nighttime treatment that works to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture.
Looking for a skin care reset while you sleep? Cue The INKEY List's Retinol Serum (10ml).
A derivative of vitamin A, retinol refreshes your complexion. Calling on two different forms of this hard-working ingredient, this concoction unites 1% retinyl acetate to gently resurface skin while a 0.5% granactive retinoid leaves your skin feeling plumper. Plus, its slow-release formula minimises sensitivity while still minimising fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and blemishes. That's not all; it's also infused with squalane to intensely hydrate your visage and protect your delicate moisture barrier. The results? A complexion that looks brighter, smoother and firmer.
Water (Aqua/Eau), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Retinyl Acetate, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Phospholipids, Squalane, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Carbomer, Polysorbate 60, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycolipids, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Phytate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Tocopherol, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Only use Retinol Serum in your PM skin care routine. After cleansing and hydrating, apply a pea-sized amount of Retinol Serum and massage into to the face and neck. Follow with preferred moisturiser. Start off using it 1-2 times per week and increase gradually if your skin can tolerate more frequent use.

Can I start out by saying that this product has been THE MOST EFFECTIVE product I’ve used in the past 7-8 years of having acne prone skin. I’ve had problematic skin since puberty. And at some point I just waited it all out and things got better. But even at the age of 22 I kept having issues with breakouts. Not as bad as when I was 15 but still the kind of breakouts that make you feel shitty. THIS STUFF I cannot stress it enough is amazing!!! It has cleared my skin within 2 weeks.!! I started slowly with the application. Every other day and then built up to everyday. Followed the instructions carefully. As this retinol is not incredibly strong it wasn’t too harsh for my sensitive skin. I would 100% recommend this retinol for people with acne prone/ sensitive/ oily-combination skin. And if it doesn’t do anything for you at least you can sleep at night knowing you didn’t spend your life savings.

First time Retinol User and I'm in love
I have had crazy bumps form on my cheeks and nothing was helping make them go away. So I researched what I possibly have and it is very likely I have closed comedones, aka whiteheads. I read that retinol can help smooth out texture skin along with salicylic acid. So I ended up buying this with Paula's choice and I have been obsessed. The two together have been working wonders for my skin and it has only been 3 weeks. I will definitely keep repurchasing.

Placebo effect
So disappointed that I blindly believed all that influencers reviews about this product and found out what actually inside only after I purchased this. According to the official Inkey List website it's 0.5% of Granactive Retinoid and 1% of Retistar in this product. Translation: 0.5% Granactive Retinoid = 0.025% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (actual active ingrediant) and 1% Retistar = 0.05% Retinol. Even for me as a beginner with Retinol it feels like nothing and does nothing. Of course, it is, as it's only a tiniest little bit of actives in it. I'll never recommend this to anyone who looks for a product which can help with post-acne and first sights of ageing.

New favourite!
I have combination/dry skin. Before this one, I used the Retinol in squalane from The Ordinairy. This plays so much nicer with my skin! It sinks in better and never leaves any irritated or dry patches on my skin. My skin looks plump and healthy. Any lines I have, seem to be reduced. I use it every other night (I use a BHA on the other night) and I always look forward to it. I’m going to keep using it and would recommend it to anyone!

Best product to start using retinol
I don’t love the texture or smell of this serum but it is a good retinol especially for this price point. I have sensitive skin and had no problems with it and also had my mother try it but since she has dry skin it dried her skin too much but that is something that normally happens with retinol. I recommend using this also topically in other problematic areas of the body too.

Nice formula
Lightweight formula that mixes easily with my gel-based moisturiser, which is what I was hoping for. I think it would cause a breakout if I used it more than 1-2 times per week though, but I do have very spot-prone skin.

Cult Beauty retinol
I have used serums with a higher dose of retinol, this doesn't do it for me.

Really good for sensitive skin
That's a really good serum! However, the percentage stated is slightly misleading. You see, here they have 1% retistar complex. Which delivers 0.05% of pure retinol. On the other hand, 0.5% of granactive retinoid converts to 0.05% of pure active once in the skin. So the total concentration is not very high. Personally, I enjoy it very much. I have sensitive reactive skin and I do not react on this serum. Once I had a slight side effect, but I just overdid it. If you are rather young and/or have sensitive skin, this is a great choice. In other cases, I think that this serum will be too mild for you.

fantastic product
This product is THE best retinol I have ever tried. I had very deep frown lines on my forehead which have almost disappeared since using this. I use it a little bit each night and massage it in really well. Definitely worth the money and better than my more expensive retinol products.

Misleading
This definitely isn’t 1% strength. Anyone new to retinol, I would suggest using La Roche-Posay - it’s 0.3% pure retinol and it does what it says on the tin. I won’t be buying this again, didn’t really see any major results.
