Review: Hydrating, Lightweight and Excellent Value for the Price - I’ve been using the The INKEY List 2% Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum 30ml for a little while now and it has been a really nice addition to my skincare routine. The first thing I noticed is how lightweight and fast-absorbing the serum is. It spreads easily and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on the skin. A small amount goes a long way, so the bottle actually lasts quite a while. What I like most is how hydrated my skin feels after using it. My skin tends to feel a bit dry at times, especially in colder weather, but this serum helps keep it feeling smooth and moisturised throughout the day. Hyaluronic acid works by drawing moisture into the skin and helping it retain hydration, which can leave the skin looking plumper and healthier. Another big positive is the price. For a well-known skincare brand, this serum is surprisingly affordable, making it great value compared with many more expensive hydrating serums. Pros ✔ Lightweight and easy to apply ✔ Leaves skin feeling hydrated and smoother ✔ Absorbs quickly without a greasy feel ✔ A little goes a long way ✔ Very affordable for the quality Cons • Works best when applied to slightly damp skin • Bottle is quite small (30ml), although it lasts longer than expected Overall Overall, I’m really happy with this serum. It’s simple, effective, and great value, especially if you want an affordable product that helps keep your skin hydrated and comfortable.
Review: Great product - I love this product as it gets rid of redness on the skin and smoothens the skin Great value for money and easy application

I love this product as it gets rid of redness on the skin and smoothens the skin Great value for money and easy application

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing face serum
*by E***M on 30 December 2025*

I stumbled across this serum a few months ago and was so pleased that I did. I’m in my forties and have quite oily skin and have found this serum really helps. I use after my toner in the mornings and before bed. It absorbs into the skin well, doesn’t really have much smell and leaves skin feeling soft, tighter and brighter. It’s great for your complexion and giving your skin a nice even tone. Helps prevent blemishes too. Would highly recommend.
