The Inkey List’s $20 Moisturizer Has Editors Hooked

Don’t just take my word for it, though: This moisturizer has been on pretty much every beauty journalist’s lips at the various events I’ve attended. Rachael Martin, junior beauty editor at Grazia, is one such expert who also extols its virtues: “My skin is oily and acne prone, so it’s taken me a long time to rewire my brain when it comes to choosing moisturizers,” says Martin. “Often, I’d write off potential candidates as being too rich, and, ultimately too pore clogging. On paper, the Inkey List’s was one that I’d typically avoid — it’s bursting with shea butter and ceramides, ingredients typically suited to drier skin types. The reviews, however? Well, they convinced me it was worth trying.” A pea-sized amount post-cleanse is rich and luxurious without being overwhelming, says Martin. “In fact, my typical redness, fine lines and irritation appeared soothed and reduced within weeks. Crucially, my skin looked better without foundation, and there’s the clever addition of gransil blur to thank for that.”
