The INKEY List Super Solutions 1% Retinol Serum.

"Really that's doing nothing. This kind of emerged online, people started talking about it, then it was confirmed with the new EU retinol restrictions where The INKEY List can still sell their product into the EU because the concentration of retinol is below 0.3%, which we all kind of knew before then, but it really just became very apparent that that marketing was very misleading from the start."

"They're retinol super serum is basically just an actual mid-strength retinol and just goes to prove that their original retinol was pretty rubbish"

"The INKEY List also has a Super Solutions 1% Retinol Serum this will be for the more advanced retinol users in the group. It has 1% retinol as well as apricot kernel oil and squalane. It is 25 bucks. I will just say be careful, do not try to go for this first because it is cheap and it is easy, and definitely as I always say avoid the kiss of death around your mouth."

"Retinoids are very important. [...] These are going to help accelerate your cellular turnover so your skin cells don't stick together as much and they don't create the appearance of enlarged pores. If you're somebody who has enlarged sebaceous filaments, it's going to help minimize their appearance by accelerating that cellular turnover. Over the counter retinols like this one by The Inkey List at 1% are great options."

"The Inky List has their one percent Retinol Serum as well."

"You've got this one from the INKEY List which is quite nice, it's a simple one to start with and it's something you can use on a daily basis and is not too strong."

"I think that is actually quite a clever formulation they're using two types of retinoids to get almost a better result, the problem is is that it's at very small percentage of the actual total product, the total volume, so when you see buzzword you see buzz things like 1% retinol you're like wow this is so strong this is amazing, okay it's amazing but I think it's a it's an intro product to a retinol so if you're just starting and you want to slowly up titrate you can use this, so it's not the most sophisticated one. I believe even though I'm a bit biased that you need to go for medical grade retinoids but hey if you want to start a retinoid this is not unsafe. It spreads very well when I was testing it it spread almost too well. When I looked at the INKEY List I was like oh my God there's silicone in here, silicone is not good for the skin, so you're doing all those things you putting retinol on your skin to build the collagen and then you're putting silicone in so that's going to be one point of my score."

"This is the retinol Inky List serum which is a good starter serum and I would always start with retinol rather than anything a little bit stronger. You can use this on the face quite nicely. I would not use this in the daytime I think that's a little bit too much because it can sensitize the skin if you sensitize the skin and then expose it to UV you could cause some damage to your skin so if you're going to use retinol you want to use that at night."

"Encapsulated retinol is supposed to make it a little bit more gentle, which in turn makes the retinol a little bit weaker. But it's supposed to help with dryness and prevention of dryness and it slowly absorbs into your skin a little bit slower, which helps prevent dryness and things like that. It's also got mango butter, cucumber, vitamin E, and basillus ferment in there. [...] This one is also pretty yellow, which is because vitamin A is pretty yellow in and of itself."

"So in my opinion this one's really nice and worth checking out as well"

"We've got The INKEY List 1% Retinol Serum which is $25 for 1 oz and this contains 1% retinol"

"This is another great one, the 1% Retinol Serum from The INKEY List. [...] The reason that I love The INKEY List and The Ordinary is that these are both like under 10, 15 bucks so they're affordable. [...] If you're going to spend your money on something, spend your money on a potent active ingredient, get it at an inexpensive price, and try it long enough like a month or two to see if it works for you."

"We know that retinoids are great for acne I'm using the super Solution retinoid on my back as I'm testing it out that one is excellent the retinol one from the inky list is also really good it's a great beginner retinol but I don't know if I would call it a hit especially since I have been liking the super solution retinoid a little bit better"
