Hi @dari101 ! I’ve used several Inkey List products. Some worked for me, others not so much. Whether or not their products work for you depends partly on your skin type/behavior and goals/issues (what do you want products to do for your skin). 

Price =/= quality. There’s a lot of overpriced skincare out there. There are also bad cheap products. But many low price products are as effective as their higher priced counterparts. My skincare routine is a mix of brands and price points. Actually, my most expensive product is an Avene retinaldehyde cream. I also use things by The Inkey List, CeraVe, Vanicream, The Ordinary, Paula’s Choice, FaceTheory, COSRX, Good Molecules, and Hyper Skin.

Hi @dari101 I've used a few things from the Inky list ( they were inspired by The Ordinary  brand) both have affordable products and can fit quite a few skin concerns.

What are you looking to try,  any specific type of product or looking to build a whole new routine?

I've defintley played around with both,  but at the end of the day it's what your looking for or the results you want to achieve 😄

Can I ask your skin type, any concerns you have,  that sort of thing?

@dari101 @You should try The Ordinary which is on the cheaper side as well. The only thing I have tried from the Inkey List was The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating Face Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL and I really liked it.
