Best Retinol Ever
This is my HOLY GRAIL retinol product and staple in my routine. It is the only retinol that hasn't broken my acne-prone skin out or burnt my skin, and has actually worked. Not only is my acne cleared but my skin texture has improved and I get so many compliments. This product is gentle yet very effective and I will keep repurchasing.

Pricey, but lush
Having used Retinol products for a while and, not having noticed a discernable difference despite rave reviews, I decided it was time for drastic action. Upping from 2% Retinol to something as potent as this can result in a pizza face. Thankfully, despite my sensitive skin, there was little protestation. The results are gorgeous. My skin is softer than it has been for years, perhaps also thanks to properly exfoliating more regularly. And whilst my wrinkles and fine lines are still very evident, at least my face no longer has the texture of unpolished concrete. Thank you. I will certainly re-purchase.

Very good
This product is very good. My skin was smoother and clearer after using this. Much better results than I achieved with Luna Oil. I like the thin consistency much more too. It sinks in and does not sit on my face like the Luna Oil. I have no problem with the light scent. It doesn't last after application anyway. I use it 2-3 times a week and do not have any problems with peeling or irritation, although I should mention that my skin is fairly used to peels and retinoids. I am using it with the CEO Oil and it is a good combo.

Amazing - and I'm usually a sceptic!!
Like other reviewers have said, this product has actually cleared up my skin enough for me to feel comfortable without foundation... for the first time in YEARS. No flaking or peeling for me at all.

Great product
I bought it a couple of months ago and used it about 3 times per week. I love it. My skin didn't get flaky, no irritation. I wake up with healthy looking skin. I will repurchase it for sure.

SUPER STRONG
I have used acids before and retinoid too and so many different products that are strong, but this one is REALLY strong - so I have been using it every alternative day and being quite cautious, remembering to moisturise well as the skin peels off a lot which makes me think that it is working but I haven't seen any improvement! Super strong, yet to see the effects though! I have been using it for 4 weeks now (thrice a week). I am hopeful that I will be able to build it up in the next few weeks to see better results.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
For years I have suffered from Acne and after I finally found a routine which has cleared up my skin, I was left with a lot of acne scars. I have tried lots of things including different kind of retinols and retinoids aswell, they were not really working. When I started using this I was really impressed by the look of my face the next morning. Ever since my acne scars have faded and they are 60% less visible. I am finally comfortable being without foundation and this is something I wish for years now. So there is no way on this earth I would switch this product to something else. 10/10

Disppointing
Sunday Riley is my all time favorite brand. Unfortunately with cycle and hormone change came some unwanted acne, not a lot, but enough that I need to change my routine. Obviously I looked into the Sunday Riley lines to fix my new issue, and was met with some very disappointing results. After three weeks of trial, I noticed the following: 1) ODOR: the scent was awful, perhaps even rancid, and *maybe* I received a bad batch (which would make this review more understandable). But I doubt that's the issue, SR has very high standards of quality, I doubt Cult would have sent a rouge serum. My make up brushes suffered from the odor as well, it left a bad scent that needed to be washed after every use, instead of every week! 2) SKIN: the serum very obviously made my skin more oily, and I tried alternating between morning and night to see where the issue really lied. The serum was the clear culprit. Oily skin = acne. The issue, instead of subsiding, became worse. 3) COST: I would pay full price for any SR product, but this one, for the fact that it doesn't work at all, is over the top. I resulted in using Caudalie's serum, which is less than half the cost, and works for acne on older skin. Thank you for reading my review. Have a nice day. TT

Great for my acne prone skin
Started using for 3 weeks and I felt that my monthly hormonal acne life cycle seems shorter and acne scars faded faster. This is becoming a bottle that I frequently reach out for my night time regime.

Genius
Its acne and blackhead clearing, it brightens, fights aging, is gentle... It’s not greasy, sticky or heavy. One of the best products I’ve ever purchased. I love a lot of Sunday Riley products, they really work with my skin which is dry/combo/oily/acne prone/sensitive... (like a whole bag of issues) but seriously this is worth every single penny and it works great with the CEO oil.
