A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum - Serum concentrat cu retinol

Sadly, giving me cystic type acne even 2 months in

I wanted to love it since it’s so expensive but been using for 2 months now about 3 times a week. I know purging is part of the process but it’s been 2 months and while I had acne before, this is giving me large cyst like acne that I’ve never had before. I still have a little less than half the bottle and am going to try to finish the bottle because I do see results in fine lines and pores but I’m starting to think it’s not a purge anymore and possibly my skin is just irritated by it. I’ll finish the bottle and update my review if it gets better and it was/is possible just purging but my hopes aren’t too high.

There are Better

I think this is a good product. However, It is on the pricier side, and it smells abysmal. Over the course of a bottle I felt I could see a reduction in some lines, but I truly cannot get past the vile smell. It is imperative to moisturize frequently because it can be drying and you need something to cover up the smell. Do I feel like it’s the best on the market? Absolutely Not. But it is it okay? Sure.

You'll be glad you did!

I alternate this with Good Genes at night. Lines look softer, and my face has never felt so smooth.

A must in my routine

I use this almost every day at night, it's the fourth time I've bought a bottle this year. I apply this first, then whichever moisturizer I feel like, and lastly the Luna sleeping oil. It's magic on my skin

I’m almost 47 and have been using this for about a year. The other day my friend asked me why my forehead looked so relaxed. She mentioned the lines aren’t as visible as they used to be. She’s right. My fine lines have significantly reduced in the past year. It’s impressive since I spend a lot of time in the sun.

An A+ staple in my skin routine.

I absolutely love this product. The nightly use on my face, neck and chest area is making a big difference in smoothness and hydration. I definitely recommend.

Did nothing expect cause more problems 😊

I started using the SR A+ back in June. I just stopped using it a week ago. I kept telling myself to keep going with it but it’s been so long and my skin looks worse than it did while I was using LRP adapalene. The reviews were glowing which gave me high hopes but now back on adapalene and going through a purge I’m pretty upset I’m starting from scratch. I wouldn’t say I purged from A+ but I was experiencing more white heads and black heads which I never get, I get cystic acne but that’s why I started adapalene. Lesson learned expensive doesn’t mean better and for the money I spent on this I could buy my entire skincare routine.

Visibly effective

Just picked up the full size after I tried a few other retinol/retinal/retinoids and now I know for certain that it’s special. I do recommend combining with the Good Genes serum for full effectiveness, but A+ is a superstar all on its own. When I use this serum, everyone has something positive to say about my skin. “Oh my gosh your skin is looking so good lately!” I’ve worked my way around many of the popular serums but I will always love Sunday Riley. Also, I have sensitive skin and don’t experience strong sensation using this product.

This is a product where I actually see results! I don't care for the smell, but I will keep using because very effective

Great for beginners imo!

I have completely finished an entire bottle of this Retinol. I think it's a great product for beginners. It is non irritating. My skin loves this product, however, I do think I want something a bit stronger and that is not blended with other ingredients that I already use in my routine by itself.

Worth the money!

I’ve been using this for a few months at night and I’ve noticed a difference in my fine lines. My skin looks healthier as well. It’s expensive but worth the money

I will never buy Sunday Riley again.

I’m not a fan of this product. It leaked from where the dispenser meets the bottle. I even stored it in the box it came In standing up right. That should not happen. Especially at this price point. I’m so over beauty brands taking advantage of us.
