Best non-prescribed retinol products on the market
A+ High Dose retinol was my stepping stone into getting my skin use to retinols. I started my journey of retinol use with this product, which I still use to this day. On nights I am not using a tretinoin, I alway reach for my tried, and true Sunday Riley's A+ high dose retinol. I have never receiv...

Beware of a bad reaction after 1 week of use
Whenever I try a new skin care product, I use it solo for one week to eliminate the variables in my personal 'clinical trial'. While the product smells fairly bad, I attributed it to no extra perfumes, so I got past that. I used it for 5 days as directed. It made my skin feel 'polished' and some ...

Miracle Serum!
Tried so many products to try and get rid of my awful breakout across my forehead and down my cheeks...nothing worked ! Tried Sunday Rileys A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum and not even a WEEK later completely cleared up. Recommend this to everyone.
Good stuff
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.
Sunday Riley is the best!
This is the best retinol serum I've ever used. Goes on silky and absorbs beautifully. I've noticed even my deep forehead wrinkles have faded substantially. Would recommend to everyone!
Not sure
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.
