Love it
The texture is silky and lightweight, and it absorbs quickly into my skin without leaving any greasy or sticky feeling. I have pretty sensitive skin that can easily get red or irritated with stronger retinoids, but this serum feels very gentle so far — no stinging or dryness at all. It layers well u...

Decent product.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I recently received the Sunday Riley A.I. Retinoid Serum and was looking. Forward to trying it. especially since it's designed for blemish-prone skin. The texture is nice – it's lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. However...

Smooth and gentle Retinoid
I received this product in exchange for an honest review. It goes on smooth & absorbs great. It's not sticky, it has a silky texture. A little goes a long way and doesn't feel oily, harsh, drying, or tightening. My skin feels smoother and refreshed and not dry like with others. I have super oily skin and love it, my wife has dry skin and also likes it so it works on all skin types. The pump is really easy to use.
Sensitive Skin Approved
My 13-year-old son has been using the Sunday Riley A.I Adaptive Retinoid Serum twice a week for his breakouts, and it's been gentle yet effective. After 2 weeks his skin looks brighter with noticeable improvement in both breakouts and redness. The formula is lightweight, absorbs quickly and causes no irritation or peeling at all. I'm impressed that he's getting the benefits of a retinoid without the harsh side effects. [I received this product in exchange for my honest review]
Great Serum for Sensitive Skin
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I usually cannot use retinol since my skin is super sensitive; however, this serum has been great on my skin. It hasn't caused me to breakout, and it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. It does not dry my face out too much, and it has calmed a lot of my redness. The packaging is so nice, and I like how you can twist the pump to lock it. I would definitely recommend this serum!
Effective
I got this product in exchange for my honest review. I've been using it for few weeks now and it's working. Not a lot of products suit my skin. The scent is ok, not too overwhelming. It gets easily absorbed into the skin. Packaging is beautiful. I don't have acne, I just get them when a product does not suit my skin. Would consider buying it.
It's a reasonably priced product that delivers on its promis
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] After using the Sunday Riley AI Smart Retinoid Serum nightly for three weeks, I've seen some positive results. While my breakouts are not severe, I've noticed a slight improvement in their frequency and severity. The most significant change, however, is a cleaner, smoother overall complexion. My pores, particularly on my nose, appear less visible, which has greatly improved my skin's texture. A mild tingling was present for the first three nights on my nose and upper lip, but it quickly subsided. Overall, I find this serum to be a solid choice. For anyone looking to improve texture and pore visibility, it's definitely worth a try.
