MyHQ’s Ultimate Inkey Edit for Melanin Glow Goals

1. The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Pros: Deep hydration in two days; non-sticky, lightweight—perfect for layering on African skin year-round.
Cons: Might need a stronger occlusive in drier climates.

2. The Inkey List Niacinamide Serum

Pros: Regulates sebum, tightens pores, calms inflammation—just what combo/oilier African skin calls for.
Cons: Could slightly increase sensitivity if overused without moisture layering.

3. The Inkey List Retinol Serum

Pros: Beginner-friendly retinol evens tone, smooths texture, and tackles bacne with ease—loved for being gentle yet effective.
Cons: If your skin is super reactive, expect slight purging. Use sunscreen!

4. The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser

Pros: Clarifies congested pores and blackheads—ideal for back/chest acne and oily zones.
Cons: Can overdry; follow with hydrating toner or serum.

5. The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm

Pros: Soap-free, creamy, removes makeup/SPF gently while soothing redness.
Cons: Some users find tube packaging messy or inconsistent.

6. The Inkey List Tranexamic Acid Night Serum

Pros: Brightens dark marks, fades pigmentation effectively—melanin skin’s best friend.
Cons: Can sting on broken skin; introduce slowly.

7. The Inkey List 15% Vitamin C + EGF Serum

Pros: High-strength vitamin C with growth factors = radiant, even tone.
Cons: Some report stickiness or breakouts; patch test first.

8. The Inkey List Bio Active Ceramide Moisturizer

Pros: Rich but non-greasy, beams barrier with ceramides and shea butter—keeps humidity under control.
Cons: Jar packaging may be less hygienic for hot climates.

9. The Inkey List Polyglutamic Acid Serum

Pros: 4× more hydrating than HA—uplifts, plumps, and layers seamlessly for tropical weather.
Cons: Premium price tag; some users may find results gradual.

10. The Inkey List Rosehip Nourishing Night Oil

Pros: Award-winning omega-rich oil that strengthens elasticity and delivers overnight glow.
Cons: Might clog very oily skin; use once a day or alternate.

 Styling Tips for African Beauty

• Double-cleanse magic: Start with the Oat Cleansing Balm, then use Salicylic Cleanser 2–3× weekly.
• Hydrate + target: Morning: HA or Polyglutamic Acid → Niacinamide → Vitamin C + EGF.
  Evening: Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. (Don’t mix harsh actives—alternate!)
• Seal the deal: Finish with Ceramide Moisturizer. Use Rosehip Oil as your luxe PM glow layer.
• SPF daily, no excuses: Retinol, acids, and vitamin C increase sun sensitivity—SPF is your melanin’s best friend!
