🔴 Although I have over 1000 videos on skincare and acne I realized sometimes it's still hard for people to remember which acne products I recommend, vs those that I think are a waste of money! I decided to create this helpful skincare list of breakout and other skin products that are acne-safe, that I personally recommend and put them all in one place! I hope you find this helpful- enjoy!

im literally freaking OUT that you mentioned me!!! I'm Megan from the Inkey List campaign :)
That's so cool!!
TIL has the WORST customer service.
@@mignonalverson655 WHATTTT They are so kind and informative what are you talking about
@@Shea11bee I think in Cult Beauty their products are avaliable anywhere
@@user-cw5px6dz9y Thanx for ur time.🌻 Unfortunately they neither deliver to south america ☹️
I think their product formulations are a lot better than The Ordinary's. TO niacinamide serum was my fave for the longest time until I tried the Inkey List one. It doesn't foam up, doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and isn't anywhere near as sticky. Same thing goes for their vitamin C serums and glycolic acid toner. Very similar products, but a much nicer consistency and application experience
I have to say, I heard so much hype about the ordinary, so I got a ton of their stuff to try, and have had it for months now but have been so underwhelmed I sold half of it on mercari already and now I'm considering selling everything else but the peeling solution. Just don't like how their serums feel. Very cheap.
@@rianne_9042 the ordinary’s 30% vit c has silicones too, could it be to prevent irritation by making the ingredients absorption slower and less effective? I haven’t tried their 30% vit c serum, I use the 15% and egc one and I have to say I’m very pleased with it :)
@@JamieNotLamie agree, I love the results they give me but the way they feel on the skin can be off putting. Although at that price point I can’t complain much, it’s kinda expected to not have the most luxury application experience
mine foams up too :O
Oh my god you just saved my life. I've been trying TO's niacinamide serum for a month now and got horribly dehydrated, dry and flaky skin and for the longest time I had absolutely no idea why... Maybe I'll keep the serum and try it again in the summer or something, idk
Just a note based on some feedback from comments! ☺️ In the video I left a text notification that reads: “Please note! It's never okay to out or expose others online!
They have spoken in IG live streams about their personal life and connection. Since they have addressed it publicly, I feel it's appropriate to add into this video!”
I made sure to confirm things in this video and not to cross any boundaries. I sincerely appreciate your concern and totally agree! Thank you so much for ensuring that this is pointed out!

It was not a big deal! Just the internet trying start something. I know you were coming from the right place love and you are very smart. People need to stop!
you should pin this comment.
Girl I‘m so confused as to why we should care about the founders’ relationship status. Let people enjoy things in private. 😂😭
I totally agree she shouldn't speculate on other people's relationship status open on the internet I think it is none of anyone's business except for the two
When she said she spoke to them I thought they were like a husband and wife duo but it is not really relevant to the brand efficacy or not
same like what does that have to do with the stuff im about to put on my face
It was a very cringey tangent lol
Shipping real people is always cringe
Cassandra the founders of Inkey List have a beautiful daughter together ❤
With her parents of course she’s beautiful.
I’m love how effective this brand is for my skin! Even though the packaging feels “cheap” and is on the small side, I love how easy it is to travel with this stuff! My skin finally looks great when I travel!
As a 56, almost 57 yro woman, skincare is something very important to me. I definitely want to try. Thank you for this review.
I'm on day 10 of using the Inkey List routine recommended by the skincare recipe quiz. The texture of my skin has drastically changed in a pretty short amount of time. I had what I considered a good skincare routine before, but I still felt like my skin felt very textured and dry. My skin feels so smooth now and makeup goes on a lot better! I will say it took awhile to get the products, so the fact that you have 7-8 steps and very small product bottles, I wish the accessibility was a little better. I am hoping it will improve as they grow and I'm sure it will! But since it takes weeks to get your products and some are out of stock, it's hard to know when you need to order more.
I'd love it if you could "deep dive" into The Body Shop's skincare lines. I've been using the SPF 50 for a while now and I love it but would love to know your opinion on a few of their products ❤️
Just maybe something for you to consider: the body shop has an MLM component..
@@Glew0402 very disappointed of the body shop
watch ‘illuminaughti’ video on body shop!
@@jifij89 , to search for her channel, it helps to spell it the way she does - double “i” at the beginning and end.
@@JeanieD thanks, i can never remember how to spell it!
The inkey list salicylic acid cleanser literally saved my skin
In Belgium their moisturizer for dry skin is like 19 euro, insanely expensive for that small tub! Plus then you'll have shipping costs added. I'll buy The Ordinary's natural moisturizing factors over that any day.
The founders are so nice and down to earth! I used to join their live streams regularly and they tried their best to answer all the queries they got. Their interaction with customers just made me support the brand more! btw I thought Mark and Colette were married lol They have such a great chemistry together! Although I love their products very much, I hate their packaging! Their Niacinamide and Bha serum tend to leave residue in the opening of the cap! I prefer dropper bottles for serums like the Ordinary have! And I agree, the packaging for their products do feel a lot cheaper compared to that of the Ordinary.
I'm so glad that I found you and your channel. I struggle with acne and now I'm more skintelligent and I am changing my diet in order to try to clear my skin. and because of your channel I have been inspired to become a dermatologist, and I'm planning to shadow a derm in a couple months!! love you and your channel!! ❤
Wow, I’ve never been this early. Happy Holidays everyone! Keep spreading the love and knowledge!
Hi! I’m kinda new to your channel but I’m obsessed! I don’t know if you have done one yet but a video on E.L.F. Skincare I would love too see! 😊
Ps hope you are having an amazing day!
I love their cleansing balm, it removes my makeup perfectly and it leaves my skin sooo smooth
Hi! Which exact product works fine for you? I am interested
@@mirna-garcia from the inkey list? Salicylic acid cleanser, bakuchiol cream, alpha arbutin, polyglutamic acid
@@obliviate2738 thanks , i will check it out. I'm in Spain but I think they can ship it here
@@mirna-garcia i live in Italy and i purchase their products online, from sephora😊
i also bought it and haven't tried it yet. Do you follow up with a water based cleanser?
I personally prefer the Inkey List over The Ordinary. Based on the items I have tried, IL products don't irritate my skin as much as TO does. I have atopic dermatitis so acne treatments are usually harsh for my skin that's why I am happy with IL. Plus, i love the fact that they placed the instructions on the bottle for the time when you should apply the product 😊
OMG sameeee!!!1 i thought i was the only one
I freaking love this brand! Almost every product is a hit for me. Their scalp exfoliator is phenomenal! ❤️
I really like the Inkey List, and think it’s pretty cool how they got their name. I always wondered, lol. Their hyaluronic acid is way better than The Ordinary’s. I also love their Snow Mushroom gel, PHA toner, polyglutamic acid serum, and lactic acid. In the future I would like to try more of their products.
Thanks for the info, chickadee🍃🌸
I’ve always wanted to try this brand. I’m so glad you approved it. I think once my ordinary stuff is close to reorder, I’ll place my order with inkey list instead. I really want to try their retinol.
I have clear skin for the first time in years thanks to The Ordinary and Cerave. I’ve heard good things about The Inkey List, but have no desire to try their products since what I’m using is working for me. Maybe if The Ordinary products are sold out when I need them, I’ll try The Inkey List lol.
The Inkey List is so much better than the Ordinary imo. The peptide moisturizer is my Holy Grail. I also like Cerave, especially for body care, since it’s good ingredients and so affordable for big quantities.
I just started using The Inkey List to combat my acne. I like them a lot because they do have everything mapped out for me. At Sephora I can shop for them all in one place. Where as I find that any other brand I’ve gone with I have had to get the cleanser from one store and the moisturizer from another.
I adore your videos. You provide so much information. I used to be so scared to use skincare because nothing seemed to work. But since I started watching you I feel much more comfortable with it.
Also, I love Inkey List because is much easier to use and it works.
I really like their customer service. It's very fast and friendly.
Watching your videos feels like it should cost something 😂. I always learn so much and your acne journey gives me hope that my skin will clear eventually. I always watch the ads for you girl 🙏
Hey Cassandra you really inspire me to go vegan and buy environmentally friendly and cruelty free products. I’ve always loved animals and wanted to go vegan. Thanks to you my New Years resolution is going vegan!!! I’m so excited!!🥰🦋
Good luck
This is so amazing! Thank you for sharing your personal journey! I sincerely I’m so excited for you, and commend you I’m making a choice to help the planet we all share! Please keep us updated on your progress and how things go!
Can confirm the inkey list are amazing! Their customer service is lovely and have helped me figure out what my skin actually needs - they even helped to answer my weird questions about collagen for an essay i was writing!!! (Tho i did cite ur video on skin structure too!)
I think Nadine Baggott played a role in the early success of The Inkey List. I bought into their products as soon as I heard about them from Nadine in 2018. I've never had a problem with their products.
Chances are you've already seen it, but can you react to Liah Yoo's skincare practice? Ahh I just love your energy so much!❤️
Their retinol is a must have
I don’t know if you have this in the US but nip & fab would be a great one to review! I’d love to know more about the brand. Love you Cassandra keep doing the amazing work!!!!
My mum bought me a big bundle of the inkey list for Christmas and I'm loving it. I still love the ordinary so I mix and match. I'm really loving the inkey list oat cleansing balm that gets through my make up no problem including lash glue but still leaves my skin soft
Great video! Heimish and A’Pieu are two brands which I would like to know more about....😘
Yuh me too .. I would also like her to discuss Altruist
Hello, I am so excited you did this video. I was one of the models for the 2020 campaign for The Inkey List. I am Angela & represented women over 40. I think this brand is amazing & my skin looks fabulous. They we’re absolutely amazing to me & the other 10 models. Elise, Megan, Arianna I were featured in Sephora November 2020. Absolutely love the Q10. Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉🌷
Love the inky list, just wish they were sold at ulta.
100000% agree!
Wait where do I buy it then
@@loana1861 sephora!!
I'm totally obsessed with the inkey list! I recommend it to everyone I see. I actually prefer their products to the ordinary's, I think in terms of consistency and how my skin feels because I'm really picky. Yesterday they had the big inkey quiz of the year and I was able to answer all the questions thanks to everything I have learned on this channel
I’m obsessed with your channel and skincare in general and lately I have been LOVINGGG everything korean skincare! I would love for you do do videos on some brands like innisfree, iunik, sioris, and haruharu🥰🥰🥰 love you!!
She have video mentions about haru haru
We finally can get some of the Inky list in Canada... but I’m not sure about it 🤷🏼♀️ so I’m all ears! I do find the packaging kind of boring but it is distinguishable from other brands so I guess that’s good!
I really love the boring packaging, but perhaps I’m just boring person LoL 😂
Yayayyy so excited it’s available there too!!
i love the inky list products and thankful we can get them from sephora. however, whenever i order their PHA, it gets sent from BC every time and without a seal for the inside of their bottle, it has leaked everytime!
@@asianshell well that’s not good! You should totally complain about that. That’s super unhygienic and just bad!
I am a beginner in skincare so I decided to buy from their products as a start to learn about the good things for my skin.
Thank you for your review of The Inkey List. I started using their products during quarantine thanks to the influenzer buzz. They make skincare easy & I was finally able to figure out what I need to keep my skin healthy.
Formula No. 10!! I've seen this everywhere in my drugstores, and they're super inexpensive. I've tried a couple of things, but I've never heard anyone talk about them
I would love you to do one of these videos on The Honest Company! Love your videos. I learn so much. You taught me that skin care is self-care. Thank you for all you do!
2:51 my mum is cousins with Colette one of the creators of the inkey list and when they sent us the testers we realised that their brand is amazing and helps your face and to show the time of day to use it helps so much as the ordinary doesn’t do that.
Thank you for this video Cassandra!! You've helped me make decisions about purchasing my skincare and what I think will work for me. I love the Inky List and this is the line I'm currently using.
The Ordinary products have scared me for the longest time (was too lazy to take notes or when I did decide to educate myself I got overwhelmed) so I kept saying ‘why can’t they put basic instructions on their bottles?’ And yes then I found the Inkey list. Stress relief in a bottle!
I have spoken with them on their online chat and they have been very helpful I mentioned products that I was using from other brands and how I could incorporate their own products into my routine and they were so helpful !! love this brand
I’ve tried their hyaluronic acid hair serum. OMG - I love it. It takes the frizz AWAY. It’s one of the only hyaluronic hair products out there right now. It’s also very affordable. I highly recommend it.
I never thought I'd see another person that uses insane analogies like I do. Thank God I'm not the only one.
You've sold me on this brand! I've been wanting to try their Kaolin Clay Mask and Retinol Eye Cream, just haven't gotten around to ordering them, as I'm still in the process of building my routine. I love The Ordinary, especially since it's made here in 🇨🇦! But when you said The Inkey List Glycolic Acid doesn't sting, I was so intrigued that I paused the video to look up the % and it's actually a bit higher than The Ordinary's! There are at least 5 products I want to try now, but only 2 of them are in stock.... and I gotta finish up the products I have 😅
Could you make a video about E.l.f. skincare and Altruist, Cassandra? They are also vegan and cruelty free. Love your opinions! 💡💞
They are an excellent company! That sounds fun!
I didn’t know Cerave wasn’t cruelty free. I’m always learning on this channel.
Would love to see you dive into Kiehl's, Youth to the People, Then I Met You, or Krave!
Love all the inkey products as they are indeed complete formulations that work and affordable for everyone! Thanks for your thoughts as I love your honesty in your content 👍🏽👏🏾
Thank you sweetie I’ve been thinking of this for my granddaughter 💗
Absolutely, Wendy! I hope you enjoyed!!
You are most definitely an expert! I’m not normally one to comment but you are an absolute angel. I have spent my entire Saturday educating myself through your channel. I have learned so much and I now feel completely knowledgeable about what I am placing on my skin. I as of today have thrown out so many products that are incompatible with my skin. I will now be incorporating your turn and learn tip into all of my future buys. I have considered looking into K beauty as well. Thank you 🙌🏻👑❤️☺️
This was a fantastic and educational video!! More like this please! Can you do First Aid Beauty?
I just purchased the Cleanser and I have used it twice. So far so good.
Hi Cassandra! Good vibes to everyone too 🤗. I have recently transitioned from The Ordinary products to Hylamide and The Inkey List. It was actually an unconscious decision, and I just realized that I had done it. But I feel like The Inkey List products absorb better than The Ordinary. But The Ordinary was definitely my first love, for sure!
You started speaking about durability, but didn't actually say something about their plastic packaging?
Most of the glass used in packaging usually ends up in landfills. While glass can be recycled, unless youre separating your glass waste and sending it to specific recycling centers, it doesn't really make much difference in terms of waste. The best thing we can do is reuse package and reduce the amount of packaged products we buy. Recycling is an expensive, time consuming and difficult process that we shouldn't rely on.
A-ha, yes I agree! Refilling/reusing skincare packaging would be fantastic and actually very refreshing. Hada labo is the only brand I know that sells refills. Do y'all know more brands doing this? :)
And by the way, shouldn't we all effectively seperate our waste? 😊
@@pascalyall omg I'm a huge of Hada Labo .. tnx for sharing this
@@madhusree1472 in some countries glass waste already gets separated! so for these glass packaging does actually work because they have the means to recycle it. but unfortunately that’s not the case in every country :(
💜Love your videos Casa!!! They are empowering, educational and effing entertaining!!! I listen to you on my way to work and when I do my routines!!! 💜💜💜
The Niacinamide,the cleansing balm, are my holly grey products , from the inkey list
Holy Grail
Love your content. Don't appreciate going into privete relationships when it's irrelevant.
Thank you so much for pointing this out! I completely and totally agree. If you noted, in the video I left a text notification that reads: “Please note! It's never okay to out or expose others online!

I made sure to confirm fox in this video and not to cross any boundaries. I sincerely appreciate your concern and totally agree! Thank you so much for ensuring that this is pointed out!
After watching one of your other videos I decided to try the inkey list. I only bought 2 products to start. I have seen a dramatic change in my skin. Definitely going to be purchasing more
New subscriber from Germany due to your eloquence!
This was brilliant, thank you. I'd love to know your thoughts on FaceTheory! Really want to try it after being recommended by a friend but don't like trying too many new products on my sensitive skin :)
Thank you so much, I hope you learned and enjoyed! I definitely need to look into face theory, I’ve heard great things about them but haven’t tried them yet! Thank you for the request and I will look into it!
@@CassandraBankson This made my day! Have a lovely New Year, I've learnt so much from you so thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos. Stay beautiful xx
@@CassandraBankson I'd love that too! I'm currently trying their Porebright N10 serum and it is ok-ish but one thing which honestly pisses me off already about Facetheory is how they misleadingly market their products in terms of active ingredients and their concentration to consumers. Imho, it is a form of deception which is intolerable.
For example, they advertise their Porebright serum by explicitly pointing out that it contains, alongside niacinamide, azelaic acid. Guess where it can be found on the ingredient list? Right, at the bottom, in the very last position.
Another example are their Regenacalm serums, marketed as containing 2% or 3% retinol, respectively. That already reeks of bullshit bc such high concentrations of retinol aren't even allowed in the EU. Thus, these serums wouldn't be available in Germany where I live if they actually contained so much retinol. Now, if you have a look at the ingredients, you can see that the Regenacalm serum only contains retinyl palmitate (the weakest derivative, if I'm not mistaken) and the Regenacalm Pro version contains 3% encapsulated retinol. What that exactly means and how high the concentration actually is - nobody knows. Sorry for the long rant, but this kind of deliberate deception annoys me to no end. 😅
I hope the owners are an actual couple and aren’t in separate relationships. Otherwise it may make their significant others feel uncomfortable hearing you talk about how much chemistry they have. 😬
Thank you so much for pointing this out! I completely and totally agree. If you noted, in the video I left a text notification that reads: “Please note! It's never okay to out or expose others online!
They have spoken in IG live streams about their personal life and connection. Since they have addressed it publicly, I feel it's appropriate to add into this video!”

Dear you are a gem. I really enjoyed the video. I appreciate your knowledge, curiosity and your honesty. You really dig deep into brands and educate the masses. In skin care i only look to you whenever i need it. God bless you girl. Love from Pakistan
I ordered my The Ordinary products before I saw this video and I don't regret it.
Happy holidays Cass! Thank you for this, I've been having a secret crush for the Inkey List while still being in love with The Ordinary. 😘
I was recommended the caffeine and brighting eye creams. I was disappointed. I'm started the ordinary line now. Thank your for your time and energy Cassandra
Ma’am it’s... past midnight. But here I am. 👁👁
I gave my dad some products from The Ordinary a few months ago. He got his sharpie out and wrote when and how often to use them!! haha I was dying when you said that someone else's dad has done that before!
Hi I love your videos. You are so knowledgable about the chemistry of the products and skin physiology. Would you please review True Alchemy Spot check. This is my third day using it. So far I see no reduction in my red spots (sun damage and acne scars).
The Oat Cleansing Balm is so amazing for drier skin types too.
Dr Dray recommends that product.
The Inkey List is definitely more user friendly than The Ordinary.
I've raved about TO to friends and family, and made them truly interested in the brand. Then I bring them to the aisle, which invariably elicit the respons 'this means nothing to me'.
To me it's obvious, but for someone who *isn't* obsessed with skincare, ingredients and pubmed,
rows of dropper bottles must be confusing.
Completely agree! I think it’s important to realize and appreciate that skin care comes with different use cases, needs, and preferences! The inky list is so understandable, approachable, and effective, it really helps to bridge that gap between those who are overwhelmed by skin care and those who want something good!!
@@CassandraBankson Yes!
But still, all these "affordable" brands are helping with the democratisation of skin care.
And if these brands also help with understanding ingredients, something that is faciliteted by the Internet and the growing trend of skin care in general, the 'gap' between aficionados and the "general" consuner.
Time will tell...
This is my 1st video from your channel and right after 4 minutes I subscribed because u make it easy to understand and fun to listen too😍😍
I love your content! Have you already done a video about Pacifica? I’d like to know more about them, from their fragrance line, to makeup, to skincare. I’ve been loving their collagen moisturizer with SPF.
Glass isn’t always as eco friendly. The process to make it and not everywhere can recycle it. Also coloured glass and plastic is hard to recycle. I like the inkey list packaging it does the job, keeps the product effective and they’re not expensive
Great video Cassandra I didn’t know the brand existed until you started talking about it and showing them in your videos
Thank you! ❤️ Please do Biotherm (not Bioderma). Nobody speaks of them.
The queen of the epidermis :)
The salicylic acid cleanser broke me out... but the bakuchiol moisturizer suited my skin .. idk why the salicylic acid cleanser broke me out i have acne prone skin and its exactly for that type of skin. Yet! It gave me more acne.. i thought it was purging but.. after 2 whole months the acne wouldnt calm down so i stopped using it.. i use cetaphil now, and my acne is gone, only scars left.
This was difficult to get through because I love The Ordinary for what they gave to those of us who think beauty products are overpriced. But I I plan to look into it more. In the meantime, I’m curious about what you think of Sana products from Japan.
Would love to see you review Glow recipe, looks like a really cute and fun skincare line
WOW I'm so happy I found your amazing page!!!!! I can't wait to dive into all your content and now buy a new routine from this brand
Could u one day do a video about your education and how u got to where u are??🥰
Just wanted to share information with someone who maybe thinking about buying the Inkey List Retinol Serum (not the Retinol Eye Cream). So many reviews online had mentioned that this product didn't cause any irritation, very gentle in general and perfect for the beginners with retinol. Well, I purchased it to start my battle with after-maskne pigmentation and I know that with retinol it's possible that you will see results after a few months.
The thing is, which unfortunately I discovered only when I started using it, that this product includes not a retinol as an active but Retistar 1% and Granactive Retinoid 0,5%. 1% of Retistar it is a component, which actually contains only 0,05% of retinol in it and 0,5% of Granactive Retinoid is 0,025% of HRP (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate). So correct me if I'm wrong but with this amount of actives in the end you will get probably a placebo effect but not a decision for your skin problems. And for sure it is so gentle you can use under eyes as well.
I use it for 1,5 months now and I don't see any improvements with my pigmentation spots, my money thrown away. If you have the same problem I recommend to go get something else.
I love your videos! I have been trying to follow your advice on ingredients however I found in sephora yesterday I quickly became confused. Would you consider a video on top 5 ingredients to include in skincare, and bottom 5 to avoid at all costs? I am not sure if these are cross-cutting across all steps in skin care, including makeup, but I think this would be really helpful for someone like me!
I’ve been dipping my toes into the skincare world this past year, and I really appreciate the Inkey List for enabling me to try stuff at a more affordable price point. I’ve been using their lactic acid and Q10 serum for a few months and I’d like to try more.
Just bought the q10 serum I’m excited to try! What were your thoughts on it!
i would LOVE if you did a brand review on an Australian/New Zealand skincare company called Antipodes. They are heavily focused on "scientific green beauty". :)
Dear Cassandra I would be SO interested in a video regarding DECIEM‘s other Brands like Hylamide and NIOD. What‘s your expert opinion on them and so on? Please consider talking about these products I seem to really enjoy them!! 😍😍 Lovely content
Cassandra! can you make a video analyzing Bad Habit skincare which has Emma Chamberlain as the ambassador? I'm curious to know what you think because I was a bit disappointed by the ingredients. would love to know your thoughts!
I have been super curious about this!!!! Thank you.
I am so glad I found you. Although our age brackets are on opposite ends of the spectrum, I am in your thrall and continue to turn and learn, like, whenever possible. As an old-school kinda dame, I would love your take on everything Mario Badescu. And thanks.
I admire the brand and look forward to purchasing some items from them, one of which was the peptide moisture which in Dr. Dray’s (the dermatologist on UA-cam) opinion isn’t actually worth it. Idk if the brand is overhyped but I’d like to see a proper review of their products specially their peptide moisture, which goes more into detail of the ingredients and the benefits and not just the application and feel. I’m only looking for a second opinion and want to learn more but ingredients is something where I can’t match up to all of your knowledge. If you could please review it beyond the application, weighing the good and bad ingredients, it would be very helpful. Hope it isn’t too much to ask for. Or I can be pointed out towards an article too, would be appreciated. Thank you
Did she say "intimint"? 😄 That's precious. Like in other videos when she says "antidotal" evidence/data. 👌🏻 Or at least to my ear it sounds like it, maybe I just hear what I want to hear. 😁
Interesting. Most of these positive comments are about a year ago. I’ve been using Inkey List for a few months. Not super wow’ed by what I’ve tried, but they’re not bad. I reached out to customer service asking a question that was pretty straightforward ab 2 of their products - the Vit C+EGF and the HA serum leave my face feeling dry & sticky, and i follow directions to the letter. after being ignored in their online chat for a good 15 mins, i finally just sent them an email. 2 days later, i got what i would call a generic customer service answer. Felt like just a blow off and they recommended that i do something in my process that I’d clearly listed as a step i was already doing, so felt like they didn’t even read my message. not impressed, to say the least
I also feel that the formulations are more thought out that TO. I just wish they would catch up on the packaging.
Another brand which I'd love to hear more about is BFFECT, because they seem to also share some common ground. I ended up with them, because OT and Inkey list were sold out.
They have a Granat ice retinol emulsion 2% + GABA which I find amazingly gentle.
I love the inkey list but I wish they would let us know the percentage of things like hylaronic acid/niacinamide/retinol/acids in some of their products- I know they do with some products but we need more transparency with percentages! cerave I’m also looking at you
Personnally, i don't like The Ordinary. I tried their products. I have a lot of them, never use them anymore, except the peeling. BUT i love Inkey ! For the first time in my life, and i am 66, i don't have any pimple. I never had real acne, but ALWAYS, 2, 3, 4 pimples. I only use the salycilic acid cleanser and the glycolic toner. After i apply my tretinoic creme that i use since my thirties and my skin look fabulous.
