Sunday Riley
What it is: An advanced retinoid serum powered by a blend of retinoid ester and retinol to improve the look of lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, while hydrating honey and antioxidant CoQ10 offer anti-aging support.
Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily
Skincare Concerns: Dryness, Fine Lines and Wrinkles, and Loss of Firmness and Elasticity
Formulation: Serum
Highlighted Ingredients:
- Retinoid Complex 6.5% (Retinol, Retinoid Ester, and Botanical Alt-Retinol): Helps reduce the appearance of pores, wrinkles and lines, and dark spots while promoting visibly clearer, smoother skin.
- Antioxidant CoQ10: An antioxidant that can improve the look of surface redness for a healthier-looking complexion.
- Hawaiian White Honey: A hydrating, calming, and soothing humectant rich in phytonutrients.
Ingredient Callouts: Free of parabens, formaldehydes, formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, sulfates SLS & SLES, triclocarban, triclosan, and contains less than one percent synthetic fragrance. It is also vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free.
What Else You Need to Know: With a five percent retinoid ester blend (just as powerful as retinol but gentler to the skin, making it ideal for sensitive skin), one percent liposomal-encapsulated retinol blend, and 0.5 percent blue-green algae with retinoid-alternative activity, this serum fights the visible signs of aging and improves the look of pores and UV-damaged skin. CoQ10 gives antioxidant protection, while Hawaiian white honey, cactus, and ginger extracts visibly balance redness and soothe the skin for a calmer complexion.
Clinical Results: In an independent blinded study of 102 women, after 4 weeks:
- 90% of women saw boosted skin radiance
- 90% agreed the product was gentler than other facial retinoid serums used in the past
After 6 weeks:
- 96% of women felt the product was effective in addressing skin concerns
- 92% of women felt the product was gentle and non-irritating
- 86% of women saw a reduction in the appearance of sun-damaged skin
