The Inkey List earns strong reviews for delivering effective, ingredient-focused skincare—hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, salicylic acid cleanser, and Oat Cleansing Balm frequently improve hydration, clarity, and oil control—yet packaging flaws and inconsistent product experiences temper the praise. Reviews cite leaking or hard-to-dispense bottles, variable textures, occasional irritation or no results (notably Omega Water Cream and some eye products), and mixed makeup-removal performance, making it a good but imperfect choice.

I am very disappointed with this product. I had purchased it in 2022 and I repurchased it because it was an affordable option to cleanse the skin and helped dissolved clogged pores. However I think they reformulated and it now irritates my skin.

If you’ve heard Erykah Badu’s "Bag Lady," then you know my life story. Between brutal allergies and an iron deficiency, I wake up with puffiness that just won’t quit. I’ve tried everything—from high-end luxury creams to clinical treatments—and I honestly bought this one thinking it would fail because of the low price tag. I was wrong. The Results: It’s the most effective depuffer I’ve used. The Reality: It’s not a 100% "magic eraser," but the difference is visible. The Verdict: If you’re on the fence, just buy it. Your wallet (and your eyes) will thank you.

The Glycolic Exfoliating Body stick is a okay. I used it on my arms to exfoliate my Keratosis Pilaris and I used it on my husband's backne. It was a bit too heavy for my arm area and I didn't see a difference. However, it worked for my husband's backne.

I love the inkey list’s products because of their simplicity but effectiveness in delivering the results that are proven to work. They are very well priced and friendly for multiple types of skin dealing with different concerns.

I've been using this cream for about 2 months now. Unfortunately I haven't seen any difference in my dark circles or puffiness. It's easy to apply and it absorbs quickly. You only need a small amount of product for each eye, so your tube should last awhile. The box it comes in tells you in what order in your skin care routine you should use it in, which is helpful.

Super affordable, but not super effective. This cleansing balm is a bit grainier than I’d like, but it does cleanse pretty well. I’ve also tried some moisturizers and HA serums from them, but nothing has been revolutionary.

A classic in my cleansing routine. It removes makeup flawlessly and leaves my skin soft, never stripped. The texture is thick, which may not be for everyone, but I personally love how rich and comforting it feels after a long day.

I love that this brand has great ingredients without fragrances and other common irritants. So far, my favorites are the polyglutamic acid serum and the fulvic acid cleanser but I’m excited to try more! I enjoy it so much, I recently introduced my nieces to the brand.


I have been using Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serum at the moment and the result could not be better! I'm obsessed.

The products are not sticky, do not leave the skin oily. I will for sure repurchase. The packaging is minimalist and that's why I like it.

Inkeylist was the first skincare brand I used and my skin has never been happier. I suffered mild breakouts prior to my using Inkey list and they all cleared up shortly after I started using the Salicylic acid cleanser, my skin became more hydrated because of the hyaluronic acid serum and my makeup gets cleaned up nicely because of the Oat Cleansing Balm but it leaves a bit of residue which is why Ifollow up with my cleanser (it's also a good addition to your double cleansing routine) I don't really like the smell of the Niacinamide serum but it helps control the oiliness of my skin. You should definitely try out the brand

This brand is amazing to include in your skincare routine. I’ve brought so much products and keep repurchasing them. The cleaning balm has a great texture and it’s great for acne prone people.

Inkey List is a staple in the skincare industry. When it comes to skincare, sometimes less is more and Inkey List's approach to skincare is refreshingly simple. Their products come in clean and minimalistic packaging, free from flashy branding, and they focus on what truly matters – the ingredients. With a mission to demystify the skincare routine and make high-quality ingredients accessible to all, Inkey List's products have earned a permanent spot in my skincare regimen.

I’ve been using these 3 products for four weeks now and my skin has never looked or felt better. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen results like it after years of toying with my routine! My skin feels clear, hydrated and glowy which is exactly what I was looking for this summer. Packed full of effective ingredients and affordable, it ticked all of my boxes! I can’t wait to see what The Inkey List bring us next.

The oat cleansing balm is my go to makeup remover, it is so affordable. I have recently been trying the retinol serum and so far I really like it.

Inkey List's products are a staple in my skincare routine! I recently tried their Oat Cleansing Balm and it was soo nice! The formula was very hydrating. It did not strip my skin in any way or left it dry. However, I will say a little goes a long way!

I have been using the Inkey List products for a while as i struggle with acnes, and all i can say is these products are amazing. Especially the Hyaluronic Acid and Omega Water Cream! The hyaluronic acid provides intense hydration, while the omega water cream helps to nourish your skin.I'm so glad I gave them a try because my skin is in a much better place now.Highly recommend for anyone looking for something special in their skincare routine,

I have tried niacinamide before and broke out because of it but the one from the inkey list really helps! My skin is very sensitive but can handle this very well. The Hyaluronic acid is also a hidden gem. Makes my face so hydrated and prepped before I apply my make up 🫶🏼 would really suggest it! The cleansers are also very good and always leaves my skin flawless

This is my go to for skin care! The oat cleansing balm is my favorite!

The Inkey List offers great, affordable skincare with effective ingredients. I’ve tried several of their products, and they’ve helped improve my skin’s texture and hydration. The formulas are straightforward, and I appreciate how they cater to different skin concerns. While I love the results, some products can feel a bit heavy or take time to fully absorb. Overall, it’s a solid brand for those looking for quality skincare on a budget.
I tried the oat cleanser and it worked well. My face felt clean and thought it was worth the price. I liked the texture as well
