There’s a lot to like about Sunday Riley U.F.O. Ultra Clarifying Acne Treatment Face Oil. For starters, it contains 1.5% Salicylic Acid. It’s the only exfoliant that can get deep into your pores and remove all the clogs that cause breakouts. Plus, it has a moisturising oil base that deeply nourishes skin, leaving it softer and brighter. It could be a good alternative for dry, acne-prone, if it weren’t for a major flaw. The fragrance: it’s super strong. Add to that a few citrus oils and you could very well end up with an irritation. Before we dive into this Sunday Riley skincare review, let’s go over some initial pros and cons of the brand: Pros

Blue Tansy: This extract is thought to have strong anti inflammatory and healing properties. The color of this extract is also what is claimed to give the Sunday Riley Luna night oil its color (though the ingredient list does contain some colorants, so the blue tansy may not be entirely responsible for the oil’s hue).Those Seeking Innovative Ingredients: Sunday Riley is known for its innovative use of ingredients and advanced formulations. Individuals who are interested in trying new skincare ingredients and technologies may find the brand appealing. Herbivore Botanicals: Herbivore Botanicals is a brand that focuses on plant-based skincare formulations. They offer a variety of products made with natural and organic ingredients to promote healthy and radiant skin. First things first: Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum doesn’t really contain a high dose of retinoids. Officially, you get 5% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR, or what The Ordinary calls Granactive Retinoid) and 1% retinol. In practice, HPR suppliers use a 90/10 mix of the solvent dimethyl isosorbide + HPR while retinol itself is a “liposomal-encapsulated retinol blend”. Clinically tested and proven to significantly improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles in 3 minutes. Results obtained via profilometry analysis. One literature review describes vitamin C’s protection against photoaging and cancerous skin damage because of its antioxidant effect on the skin. Moreover, vitamin c decreases pigmentation and collagen degradation, keeping your skin looking young and even.

Sunday Riley reformulated its iconic Lactic Acid Treatment for the European market. Instead of Lactic Acid, it uses Glycolic Acid, another exfoliating acid that removes dead cells, brightens skin, and fades away dark spots. It’s more powerful and gives you results faster than Lactic Acid, but it’s potentially more irritating so not suitable for sensitive skin. It has a drop of lemongrass oil that can be irritating, but if your skin is good with that, this is a wonderful exfoliant for dry skin and sun-damaged skin. For best results, use it every other night, alternating it with retinol.
