Description
Advanced-strength retinoid serum delivers a 6.5% solution of stabilized retinoid blends and botanical, retinol-alternative extracts into the skin.
How It Works
Combining 5% retinoid ester blend, 1% liposomal-encapsulated retinol blend, and 0.5% blue-green algae with natural, retinoid-alternative activity, this serum fights the signs of aging and improves the look of congested and UV damaged skin.
Encapsulated CoQ10 helps to improve the appearance of aging or damaged skin, while rare, Hawaiian white honey, bisabolol, cactus extract, and ginger balance and soothe the skin for the appearance of a calmer, even-toned complexion.

Its a No For me
I recently tried Sunday Riley’s A High-Dose Retinoid Serum, and my experience has been quite mixed. This serum is certainly not everyone’s cup of tea. While there are days when it works wonders for my skin, I’ve also had moments where it hasn’t suited me at all. On the days when my skin responds well, I notice a visible improvement in texture and radiance. It leaves my skin looking smoother and feeling more rejuvenated, which is fantastic. However, there have also been times when it caused irritation, making my skin feel sensitive and reactive. I’ve had to carefully navigate my usage to avoid those uncomfortable reactions. While I appreciate the potency and potential benefits of this retinoid serum, I’ve ultimately decided that it’s not for me. Once I finish this bottle, I don’t think I’ll repurchase. It’s great for those who can tolerate it consistently, but for my skin, the inconsistency makes it less appealing. If you’re considering trying it, I’d recommend patch testing first

This really works
I have been using this for a few weeks now and see a total change in my skin. The first week it did cause some dryness, but I powered thru and now my stubborn skin texture issue is gone! The smell doesn't bother me too much and it goes away as the product dries.

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

Fits the Daily Retinol Requirement!
I know using retinoids has been recommended by all beauty experts, and I liked the concentration of retinoid blends offered in this product (seemed like more than the competition). This has an herb-like scent that took me a little while to get used to. It's pleasant, so don't be concerned, just different than anything I have come across in my decades of trying new skin care products. I use this at night along with the LUNA product. I mix them together like a cocktail, something I saw the company rep do on QVC. I love the way my skin looks since introducing my skin to Sunday's products.

Never ever another retinol again!
I’ve been using A+ for a couple years and although I’ve tried a few others, nothing compares! I use every night after cleansing and before moisturizer, and have definitely noticed a visible difference and improvement in my aging skin. I can’t imagine using any other retinol. Elegant packaging just tops off the whole experience. Believe me, once you use it, you’ll never go back to anything else! Well done, SR!!

Saved my skin!!
I’ve been struggling for over a year with bad cystic acne. (Thank you pregnancy) I’ve tried everything, taken meds, seen countless dermatologists, switched up my routines too many times, all to no avail. Finally someone recommended I try this product. Oh boy I’m glad I did! It’s only been a week of using it daily. (I’ve used retinol before.) There’s been a huge difference to me! I feel like my scars are getting lighter, I look glowy, and my cysts are starting to shrink up. Highly recommend!

I tested this retinol over the course of a month. Normally I use Drunk Elephants A Passion Retinol cream and it is awesome but I figured why not try this out. Well, it performs wonderfully. And results are seen very quickly. My main complaint is the smell. It’s become unbearable so this is a real hard pass for me.

WOW!
I am bad about keeping up with leaving reviews but I just had to leave one for this. It’s been about a month since I started using it and I feel like my skin has improved dramatically! I should have taken a before and after photo because I feel like the results are jarring! My skin glows like it never had before. I have never liked any of the retinol’s I’ve tried before- they always made me break out (even past the normal pore release process) or made my skin too sensitive. I followed the directions on the bottle to ease myself into using this product and never had a breakout. My skin is a bit more sun sensitive than before, but that is to be expected with any retinol and I just upped my sunscreen usage and haven’t had a problem. The CEO glow oil is already my holy grail product, so I love that this doesn’t negatively interact with that- in fact they recommend the pair together. That is the one product I have gone back to for years because whenever I don’t spend the money and use a lesser oil or run out and don’t get a new bottle asap- I regret it. So the fact that this blends with that seamlessly is amazing. For reference I have KP on my face as well as very dry skin. My skin can be sensitive if I have an allergy to something, which is why I stick to mostly “clean” brands. In the last week I have gotten a ton of compliments on my skin and I feel like it is entirely because of this and the ceo glow. Btw I have never gotten free product to review or anything.
