Easy to apply ( you don’t need to use much) I have pretty sensitive skin but even I was able to use this with no flair ups. Great value for money and a go to product for me ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good starter retinol *by S***E on 17 November 2024* This works great as a starter retinol. It’s quite thick, but applies easily enough. I’ve been using it over two weeks and can see a difference. I’ve built up to every night (took a break from retinol and had to start over) and will be moving to a higher strength once I’ve finished this tube. It comes in a much bigger tube than needed and there’s air in to so when you squeeze you often get nothing then a lot more than you want: that would be my only complaint tbh. ## Frequently Bought Together - The INKEY List 1% Slow Release Retinol Serum, Targets Signs of Aging, Helps Reduce Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles, For All Skin Types, 30ml, 1 fl oz - The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Hydrate Multiple Layers of Dry Skin, Plump and Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles, 1.0 fl oz - The INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream, Reduce Eye Puffiness and Dark Circle, Blur Fine Lines, 0.5 fl oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/398068146-the-inkey-list-1-slow-release-retinol-serum-targets-wrinkles](https://www.desertcart.us/products/398068146-the-inkey-list-1-slow-release-retinol-serum-targets-wrinkles) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
