Introduction
The ideal Retinol for beginners to introduce your skin to this powerful ingredient. Specially formulated with a slow-release, less irritating form of Retinol, the skin-renewing serum targets first signs of aging and hyperpigmentation. Working to visibly improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and overall skin tone and texture with continued improvement over time.
Hero ingredient Retinyl Acetate is a derivative of vitamin A and works to gently resurface and enhance surface skin cell turnover, improving appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. This form of slow-release Retinol has been specifically chosen as a gentler anti ageing serum option. The added Squalane, a key antioxidant ingredient, provides additional hydrating and soothing benefits whilst helping to smooth skin's appearance.
The rate at which our skin renews slows down as we age. Retinol helps to promote skin renewal and enhance collagen production, kick-starting cells back into action.
- Combines 1% stable retinol and 0.5% granactive retinoid (slightly stronger than retinol) with squalene for hydration and soothing
- Slow release formula minimises irritation
- Effective active delivery systems work to minimise fine lines and wrinkles
- Tackles blemishes and improves skin clarity
How to Use:
- Use in the evening after cleansing and toning, and before other serums
- Apply a pea sized amount to the fingers and gently tap into the skin
- For some people redness and flakiness may occur at the beginning of use due to the increase in cell turnover. When first using Retinol, you may wish to use a few times per week and gradually increase to every evening.
- Not recommended for use with alpha hydroxy acids (lactic acid and glycolic acid) or vitamin C
- Only use Retinol Serum in your PM skincare routine.
- After cleansing and hydrating with The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Serum, apply a pea-sized amount of Retinol Serum and massage into to the face and neck.
- For the fragile skin around the eyes, we recommend using The Inkey List Retinol Eye Cream. Follow with your preferred moisturizer. Start off using it 1-2 times per week and increase gradually if your skin can tolerate more frequent use.
- When layering treatments, work from the thinnest to thickest consistency. Waiting a minute or so between applying each treatment will also help to avoid pilling.
- If you have more sensitive skin, use Niacinamide before Retinol Serum to help decrease irritation.
BeautyFeatures Style Guide:
- When using a Retinol product, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the daytime, as sun sensitivity may increase.

This is the best Retinol I've tried, it's very moisturising and skin feels lovely in the morning. Not harsh on my sensitive skin.

Works amazingly well
I use this on alternate evenings on clean skin before moisturising, and have to say, the improvement on the skin texture next morning is dramatic. It's meant to help with wrinkles and acne; I'm in my early 30s and have few fine lines and heavily congested and super oily skin, and have been very pleasantly surprise by the effects of this serum. My problems haven't gone away overnight, but it looks like with consistent use and other suitable products, they actually might.
