Gentle Retinol That Smooths Skin & Improves Texture – Great Results Without Irritation
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.

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.

Gentle but works
This retinol serum is light and easy to use. My skin feels smoother and more even, and it’s helped with fine lines and dark spots. It works gradually, not overnight, but I didn’t get irritation or redness. A little goes a long way, and it feels suitable for most skin types.

Good Product
Good, when used well, I did my research and sandwiched the retinol diluting it with cream applying it and then adding another layer of cream. I woke up the next day and my face felt very smooth, I looked in the mirror my texture was a little smoother. I can tell it had its effect, and I feel confident if I use this properly I will achieve better skin texture and pigmentation. I plan on using the 123 method where I use retinol once this week, twice the next, thrice afterwards, then use it nearly every day.

Good retinol!
The best retinol, only use a pea size and make sure to apply moisturiser after. Make sure you only introduce it to your skin about 2 times a week max to prevent breaking your skin barrier. Smells a bit odd but its soon gets absorbed. Easy application. Worth the buy as a first time retinol.

Unsure
I am new to Retinol and I had heard great things for a beginner like myself. The price is reasonable. The packaging simple, but effective. The product itself is very hard to make a pea size amount spread, and don’t start me on how tricky a simple pull off label was to get off to even get to the serum. Iit quickly absorbs and feels pleasant on the skin, sadly it absolutely reeks of vinegar - very off putting. Also it is a small tube, fair enough as I said the price was reasonable, but I did expect the tube to be full or at least nearly, it isn’t. I’m being generous saying it’s 3/4 full at best. But, for this purchase I’ll stick it out and see how it’s going to make my skin feel over the coming weeks, I may purchase again, but first impressions say I wouldn’t.

Good starter retinol
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.

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.

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!
