What the gurus are saying

The lightweight texture earns praise for working across skin types, including those with oily skin, though the peptide concentration is modest (around one percent) and the formula may not satisfy very dry skin. At fifteen dollars, gurus call it a smart budget pick for anyone wanting a gentle, absorbable moisturizer without heavy ingredients. Best suited to normal and oily skin in warmer months or as an all-over body moisturizer.

"The Inkey List has a Peptide Moisturizer which is just perfect at a great price for an evening moisturizer. It's middleweight. I would not use this in the summer. It might be a little bit too heavy, but I would not use this in the depth of winter. It's just that perfect fall moisturizing texture for all skin types."

"The Peptide Moisturizer by Inkey List is super affordable and it is extremely beautiful. From a texture perspective it is a little more lightweight. The Protini peptide will not work for someone who's extremely oily, but the Inkey Peptide Moisturizer will even work for someone who's oily."

"The inky list makes a nice Peptide Moisturizer so those peptides will be a cell signal or to tell your skin to make more collagen which is excellent right we want to do that in addition to retinol retinoids by like say skin better science those will help increase collagen production that's our goal is to increase the thickness of our dermis and increase collagen."

"It's only 15 bucks and it's worth a shot of incorporating into your routine if you are desperate for effects to help you with your skin. It's lightweight enough where you feel like your skin is going to absorb it nicely, you might as well use it elsewhere on your neck on your chest anywhere else. If you're somebody who's drier though, because this is not going to be great for very dry skin."

"It contains a small amount of peptides. In my opinion, looking at where the ingredients are, I think they say it's one percent of peptides in the formula. It's also fragrance free and cruelty free. It's not overly impressive but it's a good one if you're on a budget or looking for something that feels nice on skin without being super expensive yet cruelty free."
