In my opinion, The Inkey List Turmeric Cream is the best product of the two dozen or so they offer — and a damn good moisturizer in comparison to a lot of moisturizers out there.
It’s lightyears ahead of Kylie Skin’s abominable Face Moisturizer — and, I would argue, better for your skin health than the $185 Creme de la Mer. It’s the perfect balance of a lightweight textured lotion and seriously pro-skin health ingredients like, of course, antioxidant Turmeric Root Extract.
I use some form of turmeric every day to alleviate inflammation in my body — and to help me bolster my migraine defenses.
In fact, the ancient cure-all is purported to be an effective alternative to acetaminophen. In addition to its proven anti-inflammatory benefits, turmeric is also a potent antioxidant on par with the best botanical extracts.
But The Inkey List’s formula isn’t just an antioxidant-packed cream. It’s also loaded with moisturizing, skin-replenishing plant oils like Squalane, Coconut Oil, and Oat Kernel Oil — in addition to Vitamin E, emollient Lecithin and humectant Glycerin.
As with all of their formulas, The Inkey List kept out any potential irritants like denatured alcohol and fragrant plant oils used to scent a product to make it more appealing. That must have been particularly tempting with this one as turmeric has a really strong odor.
In fact, the Turmeric Cream does smell slightly spicy, earthy and oddly savory — but it doesn’t linger long. Its soft, creamy texture melts right into skin.
At just $12.99, you can get 14 tubes of this for the cost of a jar of La Mer. Thank me later!
