Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: The INKEY List Exosome Hydro-Glow Complex

We were recently offered a serum to try that cost over £1,000. Shockingly, we were also offered an ‘incentive’ to write about it (‘a nice dinner somewhere’). First off, we could not justify in this current climate the idea of promoting a serum that costs more than a reasonably decent secondhand car. Secondly… splutteringly… that’s basically outright bribery. And they can take that and shove it.

And… why would you spend that much when there is such great value skincare around? Case in point: this silky serum from The Inkey List, which Jo turned to recently when her favourite PERS serum ran out, and is truly impressed by.

Now, you might be asking: what the heck are exosomes? So…

Exosomes are the new skincare buzzword, and for good reason: these tiny messengers help skin communicate, supporting repair, calming inflammation and encouraging collagen production. In formulas, they’re best thought of as clever supporters rather than miracle workers (the chorus line behind the star, perhaps), helping to improve bounce, brightness and barrier health over time.

But what did The INKEY List Exosome Hydro-Glow Complex deliver, to us? Glow, definitely. Softness, for sure. Brightness, absolutely. Hydration, you bet. Its ‘skincare weapons’, alongside those exosomes? Prickly pear to gently resurface; an ingredient called Kollaren™ ‘to support visible smoothness’, alongside ectoin to soothe. Oh, and lashings of hyaluronic acid, for hydration, which at least partly explains the deliciously dewy texture, which just feels so, so comforting.

Fact: we’ve never taken money to write about something. We never will. Everything earns its place on this website and in our books on merit alone. Plus, we can treat ourselves to dinner, thanks – and via The INKEY List Exosome Hydro-Glow Complex, we’ll know we’re looking pretty darned great, at the restaurant table.
