Brilliant. Great for fine lines.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From experience I would start with a little and build up usage to avoid irritation. Little residue and superb performance. This is strong stuff so make sure you follow the instructions. My skin looks great.

Lovely cream
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product but does not really smell that good smells like chemicals a little. It is a little oily but leaves the face feeling great and firm. Absorbs into the skin very quickly. Overall lovely product but would be better with a scent

Gentle and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serum is lovely gentle effective and works. Teh texture is gel like making it easy to apply with your fingertips onto dampened skin after cleansing. You only need a tiny amount for your whole face it absorbs quickly without tackies. It leaves skin feeling soft supple hydrated with a natural healthy glow. I have sensitive skin and have had no reaction to this product. My skin looks so much better after application i apply my moisturiser with SPF and my skin looks natural healthy and glowing

I love this product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using The Inkey List Starter Retinol Serum and I’m genuinely impressed. It helped even out my skin tone and my texture feels much smoother. The formula is lightweight but still very hydrating, which makes it easy to use daily. I also love that it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free, a big bonus for my skin.

Nice and fast absorbing product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a serum which im using for my evening routine and I live it. Comes in a tube/ bottle with pump ease to use and having a lightweight texture formula is very fast absorbing and effective to brighten my skin over the night. Having a good value of money it is a serum which doesn't irritated the dkin if is used as description. First have to start using just a little like 3-4 drops for 2-3 times z week and increasing during the tine.
