    Smells awful.

    I have used this once and only once the smell was awful I left it on my skin for maybe 10 mins trying to push through the sulfur smell but I couldn't! Went and washed again I have so many products from inkeys and love them all this just wasn't it if i could return it simply i would can't say if it works or not since I can't stomach it to try again.

    Hello Gabrielle,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about our Acne Clearing Moisturizer. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the product's scent, particularly as someone who has enjoyed many of our other products. While the sulfur component is an active ingredient known for its acne-fighting properties, we understand that the smell can be quite strong and challenging to tolerate. This isn't the experience we want for our customers, and we completely understand your reluctance to continue using the product. We would be grateful if you could reach out to our askINKEY Team who can support you further with your experience and help identify a more suitable acne-fighting solution that better aligns with your preferences 🖤

    Not sure yet...but smell is for real (for some noses)

    I've only used it a couple times. I was hoping it will help me with keeping pores clear and regulating oil. It tingled a surprising amount on application but my face tolerated (didn't get red or irritated, tingling passed after 2-3 min). Now, a lot of people have mentioned the smell. I think how strong and noxious it is really depends on your nose. I could smell a distinct but mild sulfur smell when I first squeezed some out of the tube that quickly disappeared when I used it. But my husband - without even knowing about the existence of this product, let alone that I used it - was complaining about the terrible rotten egg smell in our bedroom that kept him from being able to sleep. He actually had to sleep in a different room. He does have a very sensitive nose we have to have an air purifier in our bedroom to ensure all cooking smells that might spread from the kitchen are neutralized by bedtime. But I was very surprised he would be bothered by a tiny amount of product on my face! He says it smells like you have entered hell.

    I am just starting my journey of skin care with The Inkey List. I am 38 and still get breakouts. I love that i van choose a skin regimen that helps with aging and acne! I took a quiz and got the basic routine then added on some other products that i thought would help. I got a few free items as well. I started this new skincare regimen yesterday morning and so far I havent had any adverse effects. I am going to use this system for the next month and then i will go in and give an honest review for everything. So far i will start with 5 stars for packaging and also because my skin is not bothered by any of these products and i bought A TON. Here goes! Im excited.
