What the gurus are saying

Experts praise this moisturizer for its lightweight feel, affordability, and peptide content that works well for oily and combination skin types. The texture sits in a sweet spot between spring and winter, absorbing nicely without a heavy residue. However, those with very dry skin may find it insufficiently nourishing on its own, and the peptide concentration is modest, so anyone seeking intensive anti-aging effects from peptides alone may want to look elsewhere or layer it with other actives.

"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 Inky List Peptide Moisturizer, you get it in a jar and it is a gorgeous formula. You're getting your two key peptides, the kinds that make Matrixel along with hydrating and moisturizing ingredients. Lightweight, affordable. It has some good quality peptides."

"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."

"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."
