This advanced-strength serum delivers a blend of retinoids and retinoid alternatives to fight signs of aging, and improves the look of congested skin. CoQ10 improves the appearance of aging or UV-exposed skin, for a healthier-looking, balanced complexion.
Hawaiian White Honey, Bisabolol, Cactus Extract, and Ginger balance and soothe the skin.

How To Use

    Amazing Product

    I have always wanted to use retinol products, but they always made my skin peel, or redden, this doesn't. It's amazing, and I have really transformative results with this and the retinol oli.

    Small amount and odd smell

    I have bought some other Sunday Riley and was in the market for a new retinol. This one is not it. The amount is only .5 oz, in a bottle that looks like much more. It also has an odd plastic-y odor that I could ignore, but wasn't pleasant.

    Next best thing to tret

    This is easily the best OTC retinoid I've tried. My skin doesn't purge when I start and stop using it, it doesn't wreck my skin barrier or give me dry patches, and it basically eliminates texture and fine lines. The price is steep so I usually only buy it when it's on sale, but I would pay full price if I ran out.

    sample

    Got some samples of this and was excited to try it but I couldn't leave the product on my face for more than a couple of minutes and had to wash it off. It smells like BO/feet and I just can't. Maybe I got a bad sample but I saw another review like mine so had to share.

    Great stuff just smells funny once it dries

    I noticed immediate results, MOISTURIZER AND SUNSCREEN are a ABSOLUTE MUST**** only issue I have is, the smell of the product once it dries? I can’t explain but it’s not pleasant.

    Ounces are less than advertised!

    I can't even give an honest review about this product's potency or lackthereof because I don't even think I got 4 uses out of it (not lying!). This was not a sample size. I paid for this "Full Size" product. I ordered it online, so I know it wasn't a product I bought from the shelf that was used and then accidentally sold. I knew how many ounces I purchased, so I had/have a round about idea of how long this product should have lasted me. I'm so disappointed because the ounces definitely did not match up with the promised label. I thought maybe the pump was broken, so I opened it. Nope; not broken. Just an empty bottle. I could not return it because the whole bottle was used up, and they were not going to believe that I was actually telling the truth, so I was just out the money. Beware of this if you purchase.

    I love this product

    I love Sunday Riley's products. The retinoid A+ works great. Love my skin after using this product. My skin is usually sensitive to products but Sunday Riley has been a win win for me.

    The best!!!

    Im a very expirienced (20+ years) person when it comes to retinols and chemical peels. This stuff is simply the best. Its strong and yet very gentle on my skin. It completly errased very fine lines on my forehead and helps my skin to stay sun spots free. Highly highly recomend!

    Gets rid of disgusting filaments…

    I've been using this product for over a year and can truly say it has been a game changer for me. It has eliminated the gross filaments on my nose and helps with blemishes that try to erupt. It's also helps with hyperpigmentation. The fragrance is not great, but I can live with it considering the fantastic job it does for my skin. Give it a go…

    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.
