  • Before and after comparison
    "So I must tell you my skin used to look really dull and highly pigmented. I came across your products specially having acne scars and spots I thought of going with Retinol Serum and Vitamin C Serum, and now I can't believe how my skin looks. It just boosted my confidence and makes me feel sooo good. Thank you!"

Reviews Summary
Customers say this product has a unique, thick texture that divides opinion. Many reviews mention it feels more like a cream than a serum, with some appreciating its mattifying effect while others find it difficult to spread. Reviews are mixed on skin comfort - some report a smooth finish, while others note stinging sensations. Common feedback includes issues with pilling when layered with other products. Users with oily skin particularly praise its mattifying properties. The texture tends to dry quickly on application, with some noting it leaves a residue. While several reviewers appreciate the skin-smoothing effects, others mention challenges with the product's consistency and application.

    The worst Inkey list product

    I use the inkey list products religiously however after purchasing the vitamin C 'serum' I have to say that I'm really disappointed.

    It's more of a paste like consistency than a serum. If I rub my face during the day it seems to rub off in a white flakey consistency and the smell is not the most pleasant. It's a no from me unfortunately. Please review this product the inkey list ❤️

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, Michelle.

    We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with our Vitamin C Serum. It's particularly troubling to hear about the texture issues you've encountered, including the paste-like consistency and the flaking during the day - this is absolutely not the experience we want any of our customers to have. We take your feedback very seriously, especially as a loyal customer of our brand, and we'd love for you to reach out to our askINKEY Team, as we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to understand your experience further and explore how we can make this right for you 🖤
