GREAT CHOICE!

So let me start off by saying I tried this product for over a month consistently. For a retinol this is an excellent choice. However my skin in the winter tends to be VERY dry. I did notice some flaking on my face but again I would blame this on my own skin not the product itself. My overall skin barrier and skin itself does look way better. Blemishes are gone. I would give this product 5 stars if my skin wasn’t so dry.

Retinoids with a peptide boost

I mostly get breakouts around my period, and my skin is already used to retinol, so I tolerated this serum really well. The texture is lightweight, absorbs easily, and leaves a soft, silky feel on the skin without feeling heavy. It does have a light scent that I personally don’t love, but it’s not strong or irritating. One important thing I learned is to shake it well before using it—the serum should be yellow. The first time I didn’t shake it enough and it came out clear. With consistent use, I’ve noticed smoother texture and less redness, especially around healing breakouts. I also appreciate that it includes a peptide complex, which feels like a nice added benefit for more mature skin, not just acne-prone skin. Since I already use retinol regularly, my skin handled it well, but I would recommend beginners start slowly (2–3 times a week) to avoid irritation. Overall, it’s a gentle yet effective retinoid option for blemish-prone skin that also focuses on texture and skin quality.

Better than my rx facial serums

I. Love. This. Product. Really- once I run out of this, I’m going to purchase it for myself. The texture absorbs easily, it lays well under make up, mixes nicely with my other skincare, and it somehow manages to decrease my clogged pores without causing the flaky redness my retin a prescription caused. Genuinely- this is better for my skin than a prescription. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my skin! No peeling, irritation, tightness or dryness. It’s a winner! Look at the difference in my before and after. &5 speaks for itself

Effective retinol!

I'm a big Sunday Riley fan, and it was a pleasure to get to try this newer serum from them! It has a distinct botanical scent to it, but it doesn't bother me. Retinol isn't for beginners, so always ease into it, and wear sunscreen! I didn't notice any photosensitivity, but I would consider myself an experienced retinol user. I feel as though this really improved the congestion in my skin that I was experiencing the first half of December, and I'm now sharing this after 1 month of use! If you're curious about it, definitely check it out.

Works great

Sunday Riley AI Adaptive Retinoid Serum is an excellent solution for acne-prone skin. I’ve been using it for over a month now and already see an improvement in my skin. My skin is clearer and looks smoother than before. I would recommend starting with using it every other day and then increasing it to daily use. This serum is easy to apply, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any residue. I use it with my daily moisturizer, and it works great together.

Effective but gentle!

I've been using the Sunday Riley A.I. Adaptive Retinoid Serum as part of my nightly skincare routine and I'm impressed! It has improved the appearance of pores and texture. I am also starting to see dark spots lighten and fine lines appear softer. My skin looks softer, smoother, and more youthful. I follow this serum up with my favorite moisturizer and it hasn't caused any irritation or dryness.
