The INKEY ListCollagen Peptide Serum, Face Serum to Plump and Firm Skin, Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles, 1.01 fl oz

I have very sensitive, dry, and oily skin. When I forgot to apply it after cleansing, I immediately noticed a difference in how my skin felt when I finished applying my moisturizer. My skin felt drier and the moisturizer didn't feel as effective. Water definitely does not act as a "base layer" of moisture the way a serum does, so no, the serum isn't pulling a placebo effect. I think this serum reinforces what the regular moisturizer does, so I am glad to have added this step with the right product. I have used so many other serums like Timeless's CoQ10 and Matrixyl, PC's Niacinamide, and other hyaluronic acid serums. Inkey List Collagen Serum works much better and is much less expensive. Although the others did give me the base layer of moisture, the level of moisture doesn't feel as strong and also didn't do anything better than the Inkey List serum. Even though Coq10, matrixyl and niacinamide are said to be huge promoters of cellular skin activity, my skin was no different when not using them. Not saying those things don't work but when compared to this very basic and cheaper IL peptide serum, the results aren't there. This has no scent, feels silky and clean, absorbs quickly, doesn't burn. My skin feels immediately soothed. I use slightly less than 1/8 tsp for my whole face and neck (sweeping outward) two times per day after cleansing. One bottle lasts me 1.5 months, so I stock up. This is a staple. Very grateful for this product.

I'm 57, so my skin is not like a teenager, but this serum is a fantastic addition to my routine. I put it on after my toner and my skin really feels moisturized. The INKEY list Serum and moisturizer are really surprisingly great and the price point is nice, too. I've tried a LOT of different creams and serums, and this one is one I'll stick with. I find it very comparable to the Ordinary brand. No frills, but does the job

Nice texture, absorbs easily, goes on well. Good price.Too early to see if it makes any difference.

Good value for the price, good hydration

Effectiveness, moisturizing, light weight, face skin care.

I will say my face is smoother and I think it has helped a bit with wrinkles around my lips. But it is a little too early to tell you too much about how effective it is. Feels nice going on. I'll let you know after a couple more weeks how it works

I'm 55 & I'm not seeing anti-aging benefits that I expected. For someone Younger, it may be ok. It's not worth my time for such poor results.

OK -- I don't like to spend a lot on my face, but I DO like to take care of my skin. I also have sensitive mature skin that needs a little pampering. I use a lot of a certain brand known to be good for sensitive skin and known to use a lot peptides and ceramides in their products. I also have been using collagen powder in my morning coffee or smoothies and have noticed an improvement in my skin. I heard a YouTube dermatologist recommend the Inkey List Collagen Peptide serum so I thought I'd give it a try since the price is right. This stuff is awesome! Everyone's skin is different, of course, but my skin seems to be loving this!
