Perfectly gentle
I've finished a bottle of A+ and plan on getting another. It's a gentle, non-irritating formula that my skin really likes. It keeps my forehead smooth and free of wrinkles and has helped lighten some blemishes from recent hormonal breakouts. I use it with the C.E.O. glow oil and it's been a perfect combo.

Really great product
I have only used this a few times but already am impressed by it. My skin the next day after using it has consistently been smoother looking - my pores look smaller and my fine lines and dark spots/scars are faded. The smell is unusual - not bad just a little different, but the texture is nice and light and not sticky. Will defintely keep using this! I know some people have peeling from using Retin products so should use it sparingly but I don't so I use it nightly. Definitley recommend!

Another winner from Sunday Riley
I started using A+ by Sunday Riley only two weeks ago and already I don't want to be without it. It is a lightweight serum that goes on smoothly and quickly blends into the skin. I have noticed a slight difference in the depth of my lines below my bottom lip and the appearance of my skin is brighter and more radiant in this short period of use. I use other products over it.

Gentle Retinol
I've had a rough time with retinol products in the past, but this one seems to renew my skin without leaving it flaky or overly sensitive. The texture of the formula is great, like a slightly creamy serum. Recommended if it's within your price range.

My Skin Likes This One
I have tried several Sunday Riley products and this one is by far my favorite (some other SR products break me out or are just too stinky). I actually have a tube of Tazorac which I've barely made a dent in because I never seem to be able to get past the irritation phase despite skipping days between, applying scantily, etc. Enter a deluxe sample of this product, it lasted me a month and then I price shopped and purchased the full size (some sites offer site discounts or gwp, so look around to get the most bang for your buck). I saw results the very first morning after. My skin looked fresher and smoother. I continued to see the "fresh" look into week three which hooked me. I swear sometimes its like my skin gets used to a product and I don't see a difference past the first few uses but this one has been consistent in making my skin look it's best. I have an area of fine lines/sleep wrinkles on my left side that really irks me and its my benchmark for every beauty product. Using this retinol serum the night before makes that area look less obvious in the morning. I woudn't go so far as to say that it's actually reversing the aging there (I'm not convinced anything can truly do that), however, this in conjunction with a hydrating cream help my skin look its best. Speaking of, I have dry skin and live in a dry climate and it is some kind of full time job keeping my skin feeling adequately hydrated. In relation to this product, going on two months of using almost every night, my skin has been feeling more dry and slightly irritated - it doesn't show any irritation but it feels more sensitive the way it feels when you've gotten a little too much sun so, I've taken to skipping a night here and there and that helps out. I still think this product is a keeper but pay attention to your skin and adjust your usage as necessary. Good luck! :) Oh! I almost forgot one of the most important things, it doesn't smell awful. There is a bit of an odd scent to it but it doesn't linger at all after you've applied it. :))

Very gentle retinol!
My favorite thing about this product is that it's very gentle on the skin! I was scared of trying retinol but had no reactions to this product. It's hard to measure the results of an anti-aging product, but so far, so good!

Best retinoid serum
I would definitely recommend. My face is clearer and smoother. Sunday Riley products are not harsh, with no peeling and dry skin , which can happen with other retinoids. Love A+serum!

The best and only retinol serum you need!
I use this every night. It is gentle (I get no break out or anything) goes right on and can be used with my other skincare from other brand :)

Fabulous Retinoid!
This was my first stab at a Retinoid, and I am so pleased; I am already a loyal Good Genes fan and have been using it for over a year, and after a few weeks of this serum, I already know that it will become a staple in my skincare routine. I was worried about my skin reacting poorly to the Retinoid at first, but I can't say I have noticed any sensitivity. Overall, very pleased!
