Reviews mention

  • Radiance-boosting lactic acid treatment
  • Fast-acting vitamin c formulas
  • Moisturizing, elegant night oil
  • Acne-calming clarifying oils
  • Occasional pilling gel cream
  • Funky-smelling facial oils
  • Potential irritation for sensitive skin
  • Turmeric staining face oil

Sunday Riley earns strong reviews for delivering visible results—Good Genes lactic acid, C.E.O. Vitamin C serums/oils, and Luna Sleeping Night Oil repeatedly smooth, brighten, and boost glow—yet feedback flags issues like pilling with C.E.O. Afterglow, heavy or funky-smelling oils, irritation for sensitive skin, and mixed results from certain retinoids and eye products. Overall, the brand is praised for efficacy and sensorial formulas, but not every product works for every skin type.

  • One of my favourite all time serums. I use it every morning and night before bed and it Is so effective in clearing my skin up and allowing for my skin to look less dull. I also use the UFO serum right before bed and it is great in helping with my texturized skin.

  • These products are expensive no doubt but they are so so good. They’re clean, they layer well, they’re so effective and they truly feel like a luxury experience. I wish I could use 100% Sunday Riley products, I’d never use another brand. I have really dry winter skin and the ICE Ceramide cream is amazing. Their lactic acid serum, incredible. The retinol based products can’t be missed. Truly this brand does not fail.

  • I tried the under eye serum and thought it was OK. I was looking for something to help with dark circles and undereye puffiness. I didn't see the results I was hoping for but over all didn't feel that it was completely useless. I thought the packaging on the eyecream was a little misleading. I was disappointed when I ran out and realized it was a little package inside the larger bottle. I guess I should blame myself; I should have read the packaging for the total amount of product in the bottle

  • I got the "ultra-clarifying face oil" and think the product is great overall however the smell isn't my favourite. Also since it is an oil it does feel a bit thick on the skin which I don't like too much either however the product definitely works and has done wonders to my skin!

  • Worth every penny--a little goes a long way, so these products LAST! I have used the Vitamin C face cream for years and its a rebuy in my skincare routine for sure.

  • The Lactic Acid is unmatched! Brightens and makes skin smooth like no other product. Definitely a bit pricey but my skincare routine would be nothing without it.

  • The Good Genes lactic acid is the best lactic acid I've ever used! My skin never looked do bright and glowy. Currently using the B3 Nice Serum.

  • UFO was my first Sunday Riley product and really what got me started in skincare. I always thought a face oil would be horrible but this amazing scented dry oil absorbs quickly leaving your face smooth and soft but never greasy. It helps get rid of acne and keep it at bay. I would and do but this often and I would also recommend it. Sunday Riley has a few of my Holy Grail products. This is one and a Good Genes with Lactic acid are my absolute favorites from SR but I have others I really like too. Above all is my love for UFO!!

    My overall experience with this product was amazing. Less break out and my skin felt amazing. The only thing to keep in mind is with a dry oil less is more. The product lasts forever and a few drops is all you need.

  • The CEO Glow serum Good Genes and the Luna night oil are my go-to products from Sunday Riley. When used all together, my skin is at it's best. Especially Good Genes! I'm not a skincare expert on knowing WHY things work - but just know I see results, especially with the Luna night oil and Good Genes helps with texture. These were some of my first "expensive" skin care products, and I still love them to this day!

  • I love everything I’ve tried from the brand thus far. The Juno serum is a perfect everyday serum for my face and I love how easy it is to apply and how good it feels on my skin. I hope to try more products from Sunday Riley in the future.

  • Love their good genes--the best everyday lactic acid! Makes my skin glowy. I also like their Luna low-strength Retinoid.

    Expensive product, but great results!!

  • I tried their UFO serum, loved the smell and the product itself. Helped with my acne, but wasn't too irritating for my sensitive skin. It made me feel like I was having a mini facial from how luxurious the product felt as well as the smell. The colour made me nervous at first, but do not fear! The oil works wonders!

    Feedback

    I wish it was more affordable, and then I would have used it all the time! Other than that, if you have the extra money and experience acne, I highly recommend it!

  • Wife bought for me, seriously awesome stuff.

    Feedback

    Use like a drop of this stuff and the bags under my eyes were gone. Wild

  • The Good Genes, and the CEO Glow Face Oil, are two products that have truly made my skin better. Great product, lasts forever, and great sales abound.

    Feedback

    PLEASE bring back the CEO C Dissolve Microcleanser! It is the best first step to washing I've ever found and I'd rather not leave it up to ebay to get more.

  • I’ve only purchased a few item in my skincare regime but will be buying more. I love the Good Genes lactic acid lotion along with their light hearted sunscreen and the 5 stars eye serum. The serum is cooling and blends so well.

  • I love all the products I have from this brand! The two I use almost daily is the CEO vitamin C serum and the lactic acid serum! Both have helped me smooth and brighten my skin!!

  • I tried their Good Genes product and loved the way it left my skin feeling.

  • Every product I’ve bought and used from sunday Riley has been incredible. Good genes, Luna Sleeping Oil, Juno Antioxidant Oil, and ceramic slip cleanser are my top faves. Clean brand, great results.
