De Ultieme Gids voor Hyaluronzuur in de Inkey List
The Inkey List routine guide
Nu je de basis weet kun je je richten op de producten van The Inkey List. Voordat je begint met producten uitzoeken wil je eerst weten welke producten samen gebruikt kunnen worden, of ze in de ochtend en/of avond aangebracht mogen worden en hoe vaak je ze per week mag gebruiken. Sommige actieve ingrediënten werken mogelijk niet samen of wil je liever niet overdag en te vaak gebruiken zoals retinol en peelings.
Hieronder staan een aantal voorbeeld routines voor diverse huidproblemen. Afhankelijk van jouw huidprobleem zijn dit de beste producten van The Inkey List. Onderstaande routine guide is een leidraad, deze hoef je natuurlijk niet precies te volgen.

Packaging
Both brands make use of simplistic packaging as part of their branding. It keeps things simple and focussed on the ingredients within.
The Ordinary
The majority of products from The Ordinary come in glass bottles with a squeezy dropper top. The design is simple, but makes the products look more scientific somehow! Some of the bottles are clear, while others are tinted to protect products that deteriorate when exposed to light. You will also find The Ordinary products in silver/grey squeezy tube packagings for things like cleansers and moisturisers.
The packaging is simple, classic and looks great on a shelf! However, there are some downsides to the bottles. By opting for a product that you have to unscrew the lid, the product is exposed to the air each time you use it. This can cause the product to go “bad” faster, especially for ingredients that are less stable. While the dropper can allow you to apply the skincare product without touching inside the bottle and contaminating it, the fact air can be let in easily is a problem for some.
On a more positive note, The Ordinary’s packaging is part of the DECIUM recycling scheme, whereby the bottles can be dropped off at specific recycling points to get reused by the company, helping to reduce waste.
The Inkey List
The Inkey List also opt for simplistic packaging, with their branding focussing on black and white bottles. It makes it easy to see what each product is and keeps things focussed on the ingredient.
Most of their products have clicky tops where you can open a little hole and squirt out product, or a pump design to press on and squeeze out product. This prevents the products from becoming exposed to the air, and so reduces the chances of products being ruined from oxidation. Likewise, the bottles are thick, opaque plastic, so the product won’t be affected by light either.
Conclusion
There are pros and cons to both brands, and which is best will largely depend on what priorities you have.
Personally, I think The Ordinary packaging looks way cooler than The Inkey List, as I love the aesthetic of the bottles. I also like being able to see how much product I have left through the glass. However, from a practical point of view, TIL packaging is probably better for keeping products safe and for travel.
In terms of affordability, The Ordinary tends to be a bit cheaper, however, some of The Inkey List products are better quality, so the price is justifiable. However, for many products, they work just as well as each other and issues are mostly personal preferences about texture and consistency. So, if you’d rather spend as little as possible, picking whichever product is cheaper should be fine!
The biggest difference is probably ease of use, as The Inkey List makes it really clear how you should be using each product, whereas The Ordinary takes a little more understanding. Despite that, there is just something about The Ordinary that I just enjoy more than The Inkey List.

Have you tried either of these brands? Which products are your favourites? Leave me a comment below with your thoughts!
The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid is not in the least bit ordinary!
By now, most of us will be familiar with this skincare ingredient. But if you aren’t, hyaluronic acid is an ingredient which helps bind and hold moisture, which in skincare products, help hydrate and plump up the skin. Many skincare products these days contain this ingredient.
I am very big on maintaining skin hydration, so for me, a lotion or serum with hyaluronic acid is a must in my skincare routine. I’ve also shared my tip on how best to use a hyaluronic acid serum effectively.
Naturally therefore, I had to try The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid serum! 🙂
