MY REVIEW

RETINOL SERUM

I’m pretty apprehensive sầu when it loadingvn.comes khổng lồ incorporating products like retinol inkhổng lồ my regime. This serum is formulated with RetiStar Stabilised Retinol 1% and Granactive sầu Retinoid 0.5% which is said to lớn reduce the look of fine lines & wrinkles — whereas, Squalane, that’s also found in the formula, works lớn hydrate and soothe your skin.

I have dry lớn loadingvn.combination skin, & so I was very careful when I incorporated this Retinol Serum into lớn my night routine. After using my toner, I would usually apply a pea sized amount on my face before applying my other serums & moisturisers.

To my pleasant surprise, this highly raved hàng hóa was really worth the hype! After diligently using it for 2 weeks, I could tell that my skin was so much smoother & brighter than it was before. Not trying khổng lồ be dramatic but it felt like I injected life inkhổng lồ my skin. The small bumps on my face and hyperpigmentation on my skin also slowly disappeared và it gave sầu my skin some clarity.

POLYGLUTAMIC ACID SERUM

Besides having tried the brand’s Retinol, I also tried their Polyglutamic Acid which has been said khổng lồ be suitable for all skin types.

In loadingvn.comparison to the ever-so-popular ingredient, Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglutamic Acid is believed help to maintain the skin’s moisture levels and holds four times more moisture than the former. Besides that, the sản phẩm also promises to reduce the appearance of fine lines, while it evens your skin tone và brightens it at the same time. Formulated with a 3% polyglutamic acid loadingvn.complex, the serum promises khổng lồ leave sầu skin smooth, supple, và hydrated — heông chồng, you can even double it up with your Hyaluronic Acid serum for an extra dose of moisture!

What I lượt thích most about the serum is that it absorbs really quickly into lớn the skin while giving it a dose of moisture that doesn’t feel heavy, especially when I’m applying it before my moisturiser.

I could see that with each use, it manages to lớn plump up my skin and allowed it to mix a nice base even before applying makeup over it. After using it a few times, I could also tell that my skin appeared softer, plumper and I didn’t have to lớn khuyến mãi with that midday oil sliông xã because my skin was well hydrated & moisturised thanks to lớn the serum.

Overall, from my experience with these two products, I would say I have a great impression of The Inkey List and I look forward lớn trying more products from their range. Now I’m very picky with what I usually use on my skin because it’s prone to breaking out, but these two skincare essentials have sầu paved its way to my must-have staples that I can’t go without at the moment. Till the day I find something better lớn replace it, I can definitely see myself repurchasing và keeping them in my rotation for the next few months.
