Sunday Riley did it again!
This product definitely works. I really love the texture and this made my skin so soft and smoother. Also, it brightened my skin. Very effective product!

My one and only
I got a sample of this in a different subscription box last January and immediately ordered another. When it was finally released at Sephora, I clenched my teeth and bought it from there (I try to avoid Sephora). I'm sooo happy that Dermstore carries it now. I LOVE this stuff. It's done more for my skin than any other product I've ever used. I used to experience cystic-type breakouts, individual blemishes, but large, painful pimples that would take weeks to heal. I can count on one hand how many I've had since I started using this last January.

Really awesome product
Saving up to buy this because it seems like the best retinol serum I can find with a high dose. Still looking around but thinking this is going to be the best option around, Sunday Riley is just an all around great brand

A High-Dose Retinoid Serum
this serum also delivers an impressive mix of antioxidants, including ubiquinone (CoQ10), soothing agents, and sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid), all of which help skin look and feel its best.

very gentle
I really like most of Sunday Riley products. This is very gentle for a retinol as my skin is usually pretty sensitive. Goes on light and super smooth. no irritation from using this. Too soon to speak of results but looks promising !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Game changer for sensitive skin
This product has been AMAZINGG for my skin. I have very sensitive skin with acne rosacea. It's hard for me to find products that will work but that won't trigger the rosacea but this has done wonders for me! Helps improve tone and texture and is gentle but effective. This may not be strong enough if your skin can handle full strength retin-a but mine can't not so this product is perfect.

Amazing Product
I absolutely love the results that I get from this serum! This is a really gentle retinoid that does not overly dry out the skin. The results are gradual, but beautiful!

AMAZING Retinoid for Rosacea prone skin.
I am 48, and have been using Sunday Riley for a few years now. I didn't think I'd add anything to my routine which includes Luna, but when this came out I tried it. Instantly hydrating. After several months use, my skin appears tighter. I alternate using this sequence at night per the advice of Sunday Riley specialists: A+, CEO Oil, moisturizer OR A+, Luna (it is not too much for me, but ease into it if you have very sensitive skin or new to retinoids!) then moisturizer OR Luna, Good Genes, moisturizer. This rotation has work very nicely for me. Rosacea spots are pretty much gone with very rare and very mild flareups.

improved skin texture
I received a sample of this product and worked my way up to three times per week with about two months of consistent use. I noticed subjective improvement in my skin texture the morning after using this retinol. Unfortunately another product caused an acne breakout which I am reasonably certain was not caused by the Sunday Riley serum, and therefore I was not really seeing the results I expected. I would consider trying it again but probably not at full price.
