Lightweight, almost gel-cream in consistency
Lightweight, almost gel-cream in consistency. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or tacky film, which is great under moisturizer or makeup. Scent: Very subtle—clean, not perfumey. Didn't irritate my skin.

💜💜💜
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is my first time trying Sunday Riley & I'm really loving. This serum is gentle, smells good, and it doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky.
Extremely good
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Extremely good retinoid to begin this journey! It didn't cause me purging, yes I know it can be normal, but this one is really good even though for sensitive skin! My skin after using it for two weeks every 2 days became shiny and comedones began to reduce. Didn't cause me any redness because it is very gentle with the skin
Amazing
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] So let me start off by saying I tried this product for over a month consistently. For a retinol this is an excellent choice. However my skin in the winter tends to be VERY dry. I did notice some flaking on my face but again I would blame this on my own skin not the product itself. My overall skin barrier and skin itself does look way better. Blemishes are gone. I would give this product 5 stars if my skin wasn't so dry.
Staple in my night routine
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Sunday Riley products overall done disappoint. I use this nightly to try to get rid of my acne scars. I haven't have much breakouts since using it.
