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.
BREAK OUT
This burned and broke out my skin, be very careful if you're using this. I had to return and DO NOT recommend .

A+ keeps my skin smooth and clear. I use it in my nighly routine 5x a week with Luna oil. It works wonders!
