Sunday Riley is a well-loved skincare brand boasting effective products such as the Good Genes lactic acid, C.E.O moisturizer, retinol under eye cream, and the luna sleeping night oil. Customers appreciate their great smell and the results they deliver, often outperforming competitors. However, the brand is criticized for questionable ingredients, causing breakouts in some users, and a high price point. Some products, like the oils and the Vitamin C serum, deliver minimal results for their cost, and the packaging is sometimes seen as misleading.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I've enjoyed what I've tried--have been gifted some, purchased others at full-price. Was recommended by an esthetician too.
Have tried a variety of products from this range. Favorites are the Good Genes and Ceramic Slip. Least favorites are all the oils - they smell a bit funky and have minimal results.
I was soooo excited to try this product out especially cause of the praise it receives on a daily but it just wasn’t for me. I have relatively combination skin type although it used to be more dry than oily. And I thought the vitamin C would be perfect!! It did within the hour but after using it a couple times my face was getting more red, I was slowly starting to break out and my skin seemed to be more dry then usual. I want to give them another shot because I know their other products are good but this was just my experience.
I'm obsessed with this brand. Worth the price.
Indulging in Sunday Riley's C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C & Turmeric Face Oil is like giving my skin a daily VIP treatment. This elixir has swiftly become a staple in my skincare routine, and for all the right reasons. The infusion of Vitamin C and Turmeric is a powerhouse combination. Not only does it provide a burst of antioxidants, but it also imparts a natural radiance that's nothing short of transformative. My complexion appears more even-toned, and those stubborn dull patches seem to have taken a vacation. The lightweight texture makes it a joy to apply, sinking into the skin without any greasy residue. It's like a drink of water for my face, leaving it plump and hydrated. The subtle citrusy scent adds a touch of luxury to the experience. What truly stands out is the noticeable improvement in the texture of my skin. Fine lines seem less prominent, and my face feels smoother to the touch. It's as if Sunday Riley crafted a bottle of confidence and glow. For anyone seeking a radiant complexion boost, Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow is a skincare treasure worth every drop. Treat your skin to the luxury it deserves!
Omg!!! The best product for helping with hormonal pimples this product is magic! You see results over night

I’ve tried 2 of Sunday Riley’s products and have continually repurchased-Good Genes and C.E.O. moisturizer. I found both to smell great and work so effectively. They are pricy, but definitely do out perform a lot of competitors

I LOVE Good Genes. Any product that shows results after just one use is amazing in my eyes, and then it continues to show improved results as you continue to consistently use it. The Vitamin C serum showed minimal results for the price and amount used, I feel there's better brands / results from similarly priced options. I don't love the other oils, especially the UFO one. It has a bizarre, almost sticky consistency and I didn't notice much, if any, results after consistent use.
I used the good genes lactic acid for years. I loved the product and had great results. Unfortunately I don’t use it anymore because I don’t love some of the ingredients in it (as I’ve learned more about toxins over the years). I also used the ceo serum for a while but unfortunately caused my to break out. I think the brand has good products but wish the ingredients were better.

I have tried out quite a few Sunday Riley products over the years and they work quite well. The Good Genes worked exceptionally well for me, but the steep price point is tough. That being said the brand isn't clean, which has stopped me from purchasing more. If that isn't your biggest priority, I would definitely say to try it out!
Sunday Riley is a beautiful brand that feels super luxurious to use. The only reason why I do not use it as often as it is quite expensive and is a costly regime to uphold. But I will say, of all the Sunday Riley products I do have, their CEO cream is a game changer!

I can’t live without the Sunday Riley CEO 15% vitamin c serum. It has completely brightened up my complexion and made noticeable differences lessening redness and increasing moisture. Couldn’t recommend more!
Some of their products are truly extraordinary, one-in-a-million-nothing-has-ever-made-my-acne-prone-skin-look-so-good, others aren't remarkable (especially given the price) . Got as a gift initially but have repurchased different products at least 3 times. The Good Genes Lactic acid is everything*chefs kiss*, consider it like a mini facial. Super lightweight formula that smells great, lightens acne scars, red spots, and gives my complexion a glowy boost in the mornings. It's a great chemical exfoliant without being too harsh on blemishes, or acne that is healing. Can cause slight redness, and like most chemical exfoliants increases sun sensitivity. The sunscreen is amazing, all of the sun protection with none of the drawbacks like a white cast or weird smell. No white cast since it's tinted pink, and great skincare benefits that rivals other moisturizers. Has a velvety like finish, smells great, and lightweight. It is EXPENSIVE, but thankfully I've been able to justify the cost by buying the largest size possible when the entire brand is 20% off at Dermstore or their website.

If you're considering it, take the risk and buy a great sampler with mini versions. Some of the best products I've used that are gentle with undeniable results. CEO Glow routine will change your life.
This is a really solid skin care company, pricey but worth it. I have sensitive combination skin and these products did not make me break out. Good Genes lactic acid is good for declogging and smoothing. It is strong, so go easy on it and give your skin time to adjust between uses. The instructions suggest applying Good Genes on top of Luna Sleeping Night Oil, which really intensifies the effects of Good Genes. Luna Sleeping Oil is one of the few retinols that I have found to be moisturizing. A little goes a long way with Luna.

I have tried the Good Genes Lactic Acid and the Luna Retinol Nightime Oil. I have thoroughly enjoyed using both for the past few months. I am honestly not sure if it has made a considerable difference in my skin, but it doesn't make my sensitive skin react, so I'm willing to keep trying it for a while longer to see if there is a change.

It is a more expensive brand, but I've been told that the ingredients make it worth it.
Started by getting samples through Sephora, and have used several of their serums. I'm especially a big fan of their 5 Stars Retinoid + Niacinamide eye serum! It's definitely one of the best I've tried and am excited to try out more of their products—especially the ones mentioned here and the "Good Genes" lactic acid treatment! Also, love the packaging and the company mission! Great branding, great products.

Try and get the samples from Sephora or FabFitFun to test things out and see if certain products are the best for your skin!
Love the eye cream and moisturizers.
Feels like butter on your skin. Smells pretty good too.

The bottle is solid, but the dropper is a little janky.
Sunday Riley hand down is my ultimate favorite skin care brand!! I have normal to dry skin, no blemishes, no acne, no sensitive skin or redness that isn’t normal and using the C.E.O combo with A+ retinol every night has been the best for my face. My skin looks younger and rejuvenated and I’m not that old. Definitely worth every penny!!
