Review: Retinol treatment from a great brand at a really cost effective price. - Retinol serums are a must have for anyone, but especially, for those getting older. The cream is a light liquid consistency with the traditional yellow tint. It glides on and leaves the skin glowing. You can then put on a moisturiser afterwards. Typically retinonls should only be used 2/3 times a week but if you have sensitive skin please rest first. For the price this is an excellent treatment. You also only need a pea size amount so I would assume based on this usage that the bottle would last at least a month. I will be testing this for the next 30 days but I believe this to be a really cost effective treatment for the amount you pay. I would recommend this. Even if you're not new to retinol. It's cost effective, a nice product and looks to have good longevity.
Review: Incredible Value & Visible Results! - My Skin is Loving This! I've been on the hunt for an effective yet affordable retinol serum, and The INKEY List Retinol Serum absolutely delivers! This 30ml bottle is packed with benefits and has quickly become a cornerstone of my evening skincare routine. Firstly, the formula is brilliant. It combines 1% RetiStar stabilized Retinol and 0.5% Granactive Retinoid, which is a fantastic blend for targeting signs of aging without being overly irritating. As someone with sensitive skin, I was initially cautious, but thanks to its slow-release formulation and added Squalane, I've experienced minimal to no redness or flakiness. It truly is suitable for all skin types, even beginners to retinol. I've noticed a significant improvement in my hyperpigmentation. Those stubborn dark spots from past breakouts are visibly fading, and my overall skin tone looks much more even and radiant. Beyond that, it's definitely working its magic on fine lines and texture. My skin feels smoother, plumper, and just generally healthier. I've also found it helpful in keeping breakouts at bay, making it a great acne treatment too. Knowing that it's vegan friendly is another huge plus for me, aligning with my ethical choices. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer with other serums and moisturizers. For the price, you simply cannot beat the quality and effectiveness of this serum. It's an anti-aging powerhouse that delivers on its promises. If you're looking to introduce retinol into your routine or seeking an upgrade that won't break the bank, this is the one!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good starter retinol
*by S***E on 17 November 2024*

This works great as a starter retinol. It’s quite thick, but applies easily enough. I’ve been using it over two weeks and can see a difference. I’ve built up to every night (took a break from retinol and had to start over) and will be moving to a higher strength once I’ve finished this tube. It comes in a much bigger tube than needed and there’s air in to so when you squeeze you often get nothing then a lot more than you want: that would be my only complaint tbh.
