just ok, nothing special
at first my face didn't react too well, i had a lot of small bumps (not quite full blown acne), but bumps nonetheless. after a week or so, they cleared up and my face went back to normal. while, i don't see any positive results, but i also don't have any negative effects. so, overall, it's just ok.

Love so far
Her products are incomparable. Officially a loyal brand user. The A+ is a game changer, and i just used the turmeric oil last night and i debated this morning whether or not to wear makeup to work today. â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

Did not notice any change
I used this product for about a month consecutively but didn't notice any major changes to my skin. Thankfully it didn't have any adverse effect either.

Didn't work for me
This broke out my combination skin. I will not repurchase this. Great packaging, but was not worth the price.

My Favorite Retinol!
I love this Serum! Unlike most Sunday Riley products, it doesn't make me break out and it actually helps with my acne. Not too drying.

Least Favorite Retinol
This is my least favorite retinol serum I have tried. I have decided after using a half an ounce for 3 months there is no difference in my tone, texture, or acne spots. I received 5 deluxe samples and have used 3 of them totaling a half an ounce. I use their vitamin c in the day and spf 40 so I wouldve hoped do see a reduction in spots on my face.

Best Sunday Riley Serum!
Packed with Retinol and Retinol alternatives, this Serum really packs a punch. It has been great for my acne and it isn't too rough on my skin. My favorite Sunday Riley product so far!

Very strong and effective, but can be sensitising
I've used the A+ serum for approximately 6 weeks, 2 days on then 2 days off, after my serum and before moisturiser/face oils. I would recommend it for those who have some tolerance to retinol products as the percentage is very high for those who are just starting, and therefore can be sensitising (also you'll purge very dramatically which means it's working well, but looks unpleasant). It has a wonderful formula including coq10 and honey extract which I love for anti-aging benefits and is great for my hyperpigmentation.

Love this serum
This light weight gentle creamy serum is gorgeous. It is not oily, spreads easily and absorbs fast. A little goes a long way. I've been using it for a few months and my skin has a more youthful even tone. My skin looks younger and fresher. I am so happy that I was introduced to this amazing serum.
