Scarlett Johansson's skin is always red carpet-ready - it turns out this £5 serum is her secret
Great skin doesn't have to cost a fortune - just ask Scarlett Johansson
If Scarlett Johansson's makeup artist trusts one product to prep her skin before a red carpet appearance, it's worth paying attention to - especially when it costs under £6.
We've been on the lookout for the best Amazon Prime Day deals up for grabs and discovered that The INKEY List 2% Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum, the go-to of Johansson's makeup artist Frankie Boyd, has been included in a seriously-impressive deal.
One of the best hyaluronic acid serums on the market, The INKEY List's cult formula draws moisture into the skin and locks it in, giving you that plump, dewy base that makes everything else you put on top perform better. Boyd credits it with keeping the star's complexion hydrated and camera-ready, and right now it's got an even more tempting price tag thanks to the Prime Day sale.
A lightweight, fast-absorbing formula, the INKEY List's Hyaluronic Acid Serum draws moisture deep into the skin and locks it in for lasting hydration. Suitable for all skin types, it plumps and smoothes the complexion, making it the ideal base for the rest of your skincare routine.
Scarlett Johansson's makeup artist Frankie Boyd has previously revealed that he uses The INKEY List's hyaluronic acid serum to "hydrate and prep" the actress's skin before red carpet events, making this staple a seriously affordable celeb-approved product as well as one of the best hyaluronic acid serums out there on the market.
In an Instagram post, he said he is "obsessed" with the drug store buy which "seamlessly melts into the skin." He added, "It's a little more on the liquidy side - as you can see it looks like a gel. It totally evaporates into the skin and leaves it nice and plump."
Usually retailing at £7.99 on Amazon, the skin-loving elixir has been reduced to just £5.74 in the Prime Day sale - and we're definitely snapping up a couple of bottles!
Frankie isn't the only beauty expert to love the affordable serum, as we're big fans of the serum on the woman&home beauty team. The reliable serum is regularly on my monthly empties list, thanks to its lightweight formula that soaks into skin easily, feels refreshing and keeps my skin hydrated all day without any pilling.
Digital Beauty Editor Fiona McKim is also a huge fan, adding: "Just when you think The INKEY list's skincare couldn't be more of a steal, it gets even cheaper. Price isn't the only reason to buy this hyaluronic acid serum, it's also very nicely formulated with HA at several molecular weights (translation - it gets hydration to lots of parts of your skin).
"Plus, it has a nice non-sticky texture, which isn't always the case with hyaluronic acid. Love the unglamorous but ultra-light thus very travel-friendly packaging too - one for the hand luggage!"
My top INKEY List deals in the Amazon Prime Day sale
The INKEY List is one of those brands that makes it genuinely difficult to justify spending more on skincare. Its formulas are straightforward, effective and priced so well that Prime Day discounts feel almost too good to be true. Here are the best deals to shop right now.
A lightweight, water-based gel moisturiser that delivers a punchy hit of hydration without any greasiness, this is not only a great pick for oily or blemish-prone skin, but also one of the best moisturisers for dry skin. An omega ceramide complex (omegas 3, 6 and 9) locks in moisture and supports the skin barrier, while 5% niacinamide tackles excess shine and evens skin tone. Fragrance-free, fuss-free and seriously effective.
If oily skin, visible pores or persistent blemishes are your main concerns, this is the serum to reach for. Powered by 10% niacinamide - vitamin B3 at an effective, skin-kind concentration - it regulates oil production, calms redness and refines the look of pores without any dryness or irritation. Add in 1% hyaluronic acid for a hit of hydration and you've got a hardworking, no-fuss formula that does exactly what it promises.
A next-generation serum, this is powered by three million plant-derived exosomes - tiny molecular messengers that work deep within the skin to support collagen production, accelerate renewal and boost radiance. Clinically proven to visibly improve glow, firmness and texture in just 14 days, this lightweight formula also delivers up to 12 hours of hydration. Basically, a facial in a bottle.
