The INKEY List 15% Vitamin C & EGF Serum, 1 fl oz — Brightening, Lightweight Vegan Formula

The INKEY List 15% Vitamin C and EGF Serum is a daily brightening and skin-rejuvenating serum that blends a stable vitamin C derivative with plant-derived EGF to help even skin tone and support a firmer-looking complexion.

This serum combines 15% ascorbyl glucoside, a stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C, with plant-derived epidermal growth factor (EGF) to address dullness, hyperpigmentation, and the visible signs of aging. Formulated to be fragrance-free, vegan friendly, and suitable for all skin types, it’s designed for daily use in your AM or PM routine with simple layering guidance. The texture absorbs rapidly and works to brighten surface tone while supporting the skin’s appearance of elasticity.

How does this serum help brighten uneven or dull skin?

Ascorbyl glucoside converts to active vitamin C at the skin surface, where it helps counteract the look of dark spots and uneven tone. The antioxidant properties also help defend skin appearance against environmental aggressors that can exacerbate dullness.

• Contains 15% ascorbyl glucoside — a stable vitamin C source for brightening.
• Antioxidant support to help protect skin appearance from oxidative stress.
• Lightweight formula absorbs quickly without a heavy residue.

What role does EGF play in this formula?

Plant-derived epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a peptide-like ingredient included to support the look of skin regeneration and firmness. It works alongside vitamin C to help improve the appearance of skin texture and the feeling of elasticity over time when used consistently.

• EGF supports visible skin renewal and a firmer-looking surface.
• Formulated to act together with vitamin C for complementary effects.
• Suitable for layering under moisturizers or sunscreen after absorption.

How should I use this serum in my daily skincare routine?

Apply a pea-sized amount to cleansed face and neck once or twice daily. If used in the morning, follow with sunscreen; if used at night, avoid pairing on the same evening as retinol or strong AHA treatments to reduce potential irritation.

• Use on cleansed skin; apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck.
• Wait about 10 minutes before applying other products to allow absorption.
• AM use pairs well with SPF; avoid same-night use with retinol or AHAs.

Is this serum suitable for my skin type and concerns?

The formula is fragrance-free, cruelty-free, and crafted for all skin types, including those prone to hyperpigmentation and dullness. Its gentle vitamin C derivative and plant-based EGF make it a practical option for anyone seeking brightening and a more refined skin feel without harsh irritation for most users.

• Fragrance-free and vegan-friendly — suitable for sensitive skin types.
• Recommended for hyperpigmentation, dullness, and loss of elasticity concerns.
• Can be incorporated into both AM and PM routines with basic layering rules.
