Here are some recommended products to try from The Inkey List

The Inkey List

For dry skin, The Inkey List co-founder Colette Newberry recommends their hyaluronic acid, because the lightweight texture sinks into the skin (via Buro Singapore). She also recommends their polyglutamic acid, claiming it works well as a hydrating primer or moisturizer (via HypeBae). Glamour recommends several of The Inkey List products, including their squalane, tranexamic acid night treatment, and their retinol. According to dermatologist Alexis Stephens, tranexamic acid is an effective treatment in lightening hyperpigmentation. Stephens especially recommended The Inkey List’s version (via YouTube). “When looking at a tranexamic acid, it is important to actually look for it to be coupled with other ingredients, because it’s proven to be more effective when used with other antioxidants,” she said. “This Inkey List tranexamic acid is coupled with vitamin C and vitamin E.”

Dermatologist Cristina Psomadakis recommended The Inkey List’s salicylic acid cleanser to PopSugar, stating that it can help control sebum for those with oily skin and clogged pores. And if you suffer from an oily scalp, The Inkey List now carries a salicylic acid exfoliating scalp treatment. Raleigh-based hair stylist Kayley Melissa also had several haircare recommendations from the brand (via YouTube). She especially recommended the PCA bond repair hair treatment and the caffeine stimulating hair treatment. The PCA bond treatment helps repair hair that has been damaged by color treatments, bleaching, and heat styling, and the caffeine treatment claims to stimulate hair growth. Looks like the recipe for perfect hair and skin can be affordable and achievable.

The Inkey List also prides itself on listening to customers’ regional needs and catering products to meet those needs (via HypeBae). For example, Newberry told HypeBae that there are certain ingredients that sell better in the Western countries over Eastern cultures, and vice-versa. “Key ingredients perform much better in the Western hemisphere. Lighter textures and oils, squalane in particular, and antioxidants such as Q10 are much more prevalent in the Eastern hemisphere,” she said. Newberry added that Western countries tend to layer less skincare products than their Eastern counterparts.
