The Inkey List recently opened the doors to its first-ever pop-up in London and it serves as an immersive digital and physical experience of the skincare brand's products. With the experience, guests are guided to learn about the brand's simple and effective ingredient-led products in a gamified way.
The experience provides a walkthrough of a recommended five-step skincare and scalp care routine and guests can create a myINKEY profile, then add their preferred products directly to their basket by scanning relevant QR codes in different zones: Clean, Hydrate, Treat, Moisturise, SPF & Scalp.
As well as being able to engage in interactive games, visitors can make the most of one-to-one skincare consultations and participate in competitions for their chance to win products.
