4 weeks of consistent use
After 4 weeks of consistent use of the Inkey List new retinal, I'm genuinely impressed. My skin has handled it really well, and I've been able to use it twice a week comfortably, which is a big deal for me since my skin can be sensitive with retinoids. The formula feels lightweight, smooth, and abso...

Huge difference
I have been trying this for a couple of weeks and to be honest, I don't think I notice a huge difference. It helped my texture a bit, but I have tried others with better results. However, for this price, I think it is a good option.

Retinal is one of my favourite +30 product. For me it's essential and it makes my skin look youthful, glowy and more bright since the time I wake up. I mixed the product with a moisturizer and I didn't have big sensitive issues, for the type of product as it is retinal.
Genuiley impressed
Reviewed at
I've been using The INKEY List's High-Strength Retinal Serum (for experienced users) for a few weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed—especially with how thoughtfully it's been formulated for sensitivity, which is always my biggest concern with retinal products. I started exactly as recommended: PM only, 2-3 nights a week, followed by a rich moisturizer. The texture is lightweight and silky, absorbs quickly, and layers beautifully without pilling. What really stood out to me is that I experienced minimal irritation—no burning, no excessive redness, and only very mild dryness during the first week, which settled quickly as my skin adjusted. For a high-strength retinal, that's huge. In terms of results, my skin looked smoother and more refined within the first week, especially around my smile lines. Over time, my complexion appeared brighter and more even, and my skin felt firmer overall. I also appreciated that this formula is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and silicone-free, which made it feel extra gentle despite its potency. If you're already experienced with retinoids and want to level up without compromising your skin barrier, this is an excellent option. It delivers visible results while still being mindful of sensitivity—something that's hard to find in stronger retinal formulas.
Dark spots are starting to disappear

After 2 weeks, I am starting to see visible results. My dark spots are starting to disappear and my fine lines are a little smoother. It definitely works! Can't wait to keep using and seeing more results for the upcoming weeks.
Impressed me
Reviewed at
After trying The INKEY List's Retinal for experienced users, I can honestly say it impressed me more than I expected. Even though it's strong, it didn't irritate my skin the way other high-strength retinoids usually do — just a tiny bit of tingling at first. What I loved most is how quickly it made my skin look smoother and more even. My texture improved, my complexion looked brighter, and it felt like my skin was renewing itself faster. If you're already comfortable with retinoids and want something that really works without wrecking your barrier, this one is a solid upgrade.
Game changer

Loving this new retinal. First off you can't beat the price. With Inkey you know what you're getting. Been using this every night for the past month and it has been a game changer. Fine lines less noticeable, skin feels smooth and looks bright. Zero irritation. It's perfect!
