The INKEY List Retinol Anti-Aging Serum

DESCRIPTION:

Your go-to ingredient for skin renewal.

Derived from Vitamin A, this slow release Retinol serum helps target the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with less risk of irritation. It also boosts overall skin clarity and uneven skin tone for a brighter, more even complexion. A perfect introduction to using Retinol for those who are starting to see the signs of ageing.

HOW TO USE:

Only use Retinol in the PM.

On cleansed skin, and after Hyaluronic Acid if you are using it, apply a pea-sized amount and massage into to the face and neck.

For the fragile skin around the eyes, we recommend using Retinol Eye Cream

Follow with moisturizer, oil or both depending on preference.

Start off using it 1-2 times per week and increase gradually if your skin can tolerate more frequent use.

External use only. Avoid direct contact with the eye area. This product may increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen during the day. Keep out of reach of children. We do not recommend this product if pregnant or nursing, consult your doctor before use. We always recommend patch testing on the inside of the forearm 24 hours before using. Introduce new products slowly so that you can easily identify any sources of irritation.

It is not recommended to use Retinol and Alpha Hydroxy Acids at the same time as this can lead over exfoliation and sensitised skin so alternerate and use on different nights. Avoid mixing Vitamin C products at the same time (Use Vitamin C AM and Retinol PM)

Using Retinol with other products

This product may cause sun sensitivity so always use a broad spectrum SPF during the day. It is not recommended to use Retinol and Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA, Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid) at the same time as this can lead over exfoliation and sensitised skin so alternate and use on different nights. Avoid mixing Vitamin C products at the same time - we suggest using Vitamin C in the AM and Retinol in the PM.

HOW TO LAYER YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE:

We know this is one of the most confusing things about skin care so we’ve broken it down for you step by step!

STEP 1 CLEANSE

The base of any great skincare routine! We recommend cleansing AM and PM daily as the first step of your skincare recipe. Some people may even find that skipping a cleanser in the AM and opting for just water can help the condition of their skin - it can be worth playing around to find what works for you. Make sure the water isn’t too warm - hot water can strip skin of it’s natural oils leaving your skin feeling dry and tight.

STEP 2 HYDRATE

Try using our hero hydrator Hyaluronic Acid as your first step after cleansing. Working across multiple layers of the skin it can help carry your following products into the skin helping them work more effectively while helping keep skin hydrated, plump and glowing. Use AM and PM daily for best results.

STEP 3 TREAT

We have a number of serums and treatments in our range, that can each target different skincare goals. When layering them together we suggest as a general rule, working from the thinnest to thickest consistency. Start off with any exfoliating toners or serums, they help sweep away dead and dehydrated cells from the surface of the skin helping your following products penetrate the skin better.

We have three eye creams in our range, all formulated to target different skincare goals! Use your eye cream around the orbital bone and under the brow - steering clear of your eye lids and gently pat in with your ring finger for the perfect amount of pressure.

STEP 4 MOISTURIZE

Moisturizers help draw and lock moisture into the skin while oils work on the surface of the skin, helping to keep your skin barrier strong, further locking in moisture and improving texture.

STEP 5 SPF

The most important step in any skincare recipe! SPF 30 Sunscreen offers broad spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
