The Inkey List Skincare

The Inkey List skin-care collection is a masterclass in simplicity. Each item from the brand, which was founded in 2018 by Colette Laxton and Mark Curry, focuses on one hero ingredient. The outcome is no-nonsense treatments with science-driven performance.

The Inkey List's retinol products are a good place to start if you're looking for a youthful glow. By promoting cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, the vitamin-A derivative in this line can help your complexion become brighter and healthier. Choose a serum for an all-over effect, or opt for an eye cream to target delicate skin. You'll often experience the best effects if you moisturise after using a retinoid, so be sure to pick up a compatible gel or overnight treatment. For an extra hit of hydration, try hyaluronic acid – another superstar that can be used in both the morning and afternoon.

If your aim is to reduce oiliness, look for The Inkey List products with niacinamide. This naturally occurring complex strengthens the body's natural barriers to prevent congestion – just what you need post-commute. Supplement your day's-end routine with a quick pre-wash to remove make-up and grime once you get home – one of the brand's lightweight cleansers should do the trick.
