Description

This advanced-strength serum delivers a blend of retinoids and retinoid alternatives to fight signs of aging, and improves the look of congested skin. CoQ10 improves the appearance of aging or UV-exposed skin, for a healthier-looking, balanced complexion.
Hawaiian White Honey, Bisabolol, Cactus Extract, and Ginger balance and soothe the skin.

This Sunday Riley product is vegetarian, cruelty-free, and formulated without artificial fragrances, sulfates, parabens, gluten, soy, and phthalates.

How To Use
Apply 1-2 pumps in the evening to clean, dry skin. For targeted instructions, see below: For new retinoid users: Use two days on, two days off. Work your way up to every other day, then to daily, evening use. Follow with a hydrating oil or moisturizer, like CEO Glow or Juno. Use an AHA serum, like Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment, on alternate nights to sweep away dead skin cells.
Precautions: They do not recommend using retinoids while pregnant. Please consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We always recommend using sunscreen during the day, if using retinoids in the evening.

    This is easily the best OTC retinoid I've tried. My skin doesn't purge when I start and stop using it, it doesn't wreck my skin barrier or give me dry patches, and it basically eliminates texture and fine lines. The price is steep so I usually only buy it when it's on sale, but I would pay full price if I ran out.

    Got some samples of this and was excited to try it but I couldn't leave the product on my face for more than a couple of minutes and had to wash it off. It smells like BO/feet and I just can't. Maybe I got a bad sample but I saw another review like mine so had to share.

    I can't even give an honest review about this product's potency or lackthereof because I don't even think I got 4 uses out of it (not lying!). This was not a sample size. I paid for this "Full Size" product. I ordered it online, so I know it wasn't a product I bought from the shelf that was used and then accidentally sold. I knew how many ounces I purchased, so I had/have a round about idea of how long this product should have lasted me. I'm so disappointed because the ounces definitely did not match up with the promised label. I thought maybe the pump was broken, so I opened it. Nope; not broken. Just an empty bottle. I could not return it because the whole bottle was used up, and they were not going to believe that I was actually telling the truth, so I was just out the money. Beware of this if you purchase.

    I've been using this product for over a year and can truly say it has been a game changer for me. It has eliminated the gross filaments on my nose and helps with blemishes that try to erupt. It's also helps with hyperpigmentation. The fragrance is not great, but I can live with it considering the fantastic job it does for my skin. Give it a go…

    Got it on the 21 days sale. I read it helps with clogged pores (Which was my main reason for purchasing) and fine line/wrinkes,redness… so i decided to give it a shot and turned out to be the BEST product I have purchased. You do see result. Really good stuff. Will continue to pruchase from now on.

    Best non-prescription retinol serum

    This is truly I product I didn't know I needed. I saw it on sale during Ulta's 21-days of beauty and I'm so glad I took a chance on it. It has done wonders on my complexion, redness, dryness and dark spots. I had a rough area on my temple and it was gone after one application! I don't have terrible skin to begin with and I do have sensitive skin with some rosacea. I have been tolerating this serum well using the two days on/two days off method and likely will keep up that routine instead of using this everyday given my sensitivity. Based on the reviews looks like it is hit or miss if your skin can handle it. I'm so glad I had to sense to buy two during the sale but now I'm annoyed that I love it so much because it's definitely not a cheap product.

    I want to love it but the smell is so bad for me that even if this product worked, I would never buy again. I will continue to use it until finished bottle to see any results. If they can change that scent or take away the ingredient is causing the bad smell would be great.

    Amazing night oil - So glad I found this

    This is a "throw your other products away" kind of product. I love the way this works and feels. I really like putting on night oils but usually they are just hydrating. This one works so well, after one day my face looked softer. After a week pores were smaller, more uniform color and wrinkles less noticeable. It gets the deep blue color from blue tansy oil which is a very good essential oil for skin. The german chamomile is also nice.

    Only had this serum for a week, but I can already tell a huge difference in my skin! It has cleared up my acne and made my skin texture much smoother. Can't wait to see long term results. I will be buying this again!

    Rash

    I was so hopeful that this would help with my aging skin, especially after reading so much about how great Sunday Riley products are. I wanted to try a gentler alternative to the retinal I was using which is a stronger version of retinol. Unfortunately this was not only stronger but it gave me a horrible reaction. I woke up with a painful blotchy rash over my entire face, neck and chest. In addition to that I had new wrinkles under my eyes even though I didn't apply any there, so it must have migrated. Not sure if this was an allergic reaction or this was just a very strong formulation.
