THE INKEY LIST Hyaluronic Acid Serum is engineered for immediate and lasting hydration. Upon application, you'll notice a refreshed feeling as the serum quickly absorbs, preparing your skin for the next steps in your routine. Its multi-molecular structure means it doesn't just sit on the surface; it actively draws moisture into different layers of your skin, leading to a visibly plumper and smoother complexion over time.
Instant Hydration: Provides an immediate surge of moisture, making skin feel soft and supple.
Fine Line Reduction: Consistent use helps to plump up the skin, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful look.
Enhanced Product Absorption: By creating a hydrated base, it significantly improves how well your skin absorbs other active ingredients from subsequent serums or creams. For example, applying this serum before a Vitamin C serum or a Niacinamide serum can help those ingredients penetrate more effectively, boosting their benefits.
Improved Skin Texture: Regular hydration contributes to a smoother, more even skin texture, minimizing dullness and roughness.
Cleanse: Start with your preferred cleanser to remove impurities.
Hyaluronic Acid Serum: While your skin is still slightly damp (this helps hyaluronic acid draw in more moisture), dispense a pea-sized amount of THE INKEY LIST Hyaluronic Acid Serum onto your fingertips and gently pat it all over your face and neck.
Targeted Serums: Follow with any other treatment serums (e.g., Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinol).
Moisturizer: Apply a suitable moisturizer to lock in all the hydration and active ingredients.
SPF (Morning): Finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Cleanse: Begin with a clean face. Gently cleanse your skin using your preferred facial cleanser.
Damp Skin is Key: For optimal results, apply the Hyaluronic Acid Serum to damp skin. This allows the hyaluronic acid to bind to existing water on your skin, enhancing its moisture-drawing capabilities.
Dispense: Take a pea-sized amount (about 2-3 drops) of the serum onto your fingertips.
Apply: Gently pat the serum all over your face and neck. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
Absorb: Allow the serum a moment to absorb before proceeding to the next step in your skincare routine.
This serum is highly compatible with most other skincare ingredients and products. It is designed to be a foundational step, enhancing the efficacy of subsequent products. It can be layered effectively with:
Other Serums: Such as Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinol, or AHA/BHA exfoliants.
Moisturizers: Essential for locking in the hydration provided by the serum.
Sunscreen: Apply as the final step in your morning routine.
Storage: Store the serum in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its potency and shelf life.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent air exposure and contamination.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically indicated by a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 6M for 6 months) for best-before use after opening.
