Lasts Ages
4I probably can't say anything more than what has already been said here. I do not think this is a miracle product, but I also do not imagine my night-time routine without it. I think I might feel the same about other night time oils, yet I am worried to move on from this one. It takes ages to use up, I have had it for maybe 8 months, not sure, and I have half left. I use it almost every night, too.

Questionable amount of Blue Tansy actually used
2The thing that really bugs me is that, in my opinion, the amount of blue tansy actually used in this is questionable. Blue tansy is listed almost halfway down the ingredients list, and to top that off, there's added colouring in the product. Natural blue tansy is insanely pigmented and blue (trust me, I have the pure essential oil) and to get the blue hue that Luna has naturally (without colouring) would take at most 3 drops of pure oil for a 15ml sized bottle. I reckon less than half a drop of natural pure blue tansy is in there if SR had to make up for it with colouring. In addition, this functioned nothing like a retinol should. The draw is supposed clearing of the skin minus the dryness and flakiness that normal retinols give, but honestly this did absolutely nothing for me. I'm sensitive to retinols and even Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5 kills my skin even with a light schedule of using it twice a week. With this - nothing. Also, the oil doesn't fully absorb and it leaves my face with a slight blue tinge. It makes me think that the added colouring that is visible on my face could stain my pillow. I received the deluxe sample as a free gift with other SR purchases but I will not be repurchasing the full size.

Innovation
4I would call it my skincare innovation for 2016. it is not as mild as you may think, it's actually pretty potent. I need to use more consistently to see the great results but initial impression was quite impressive! looking forward to trying other Sunday Riley products.

Yes!
5This is a good product. It is pricey but worth it in my opinion. I use it about 4 days a week. I have sensitive skin and my skin has not reacted negatively. It does not take away my old acne scars, the dermatologist can do that, but it makes my skin clearer.

Stay sceptical + see through all the hype...
3I'd start by saying I can understand her high prices, as her marketing team are doing a fantastic 5-star job and hopefully they are paid accordingly because that's the only outstanding thing about the SR products I've tried. I received a deluxe sample of this in a CB order. For the first 2 weeks I loved it. It didn't completely absorb but I was fine with that. All of a sudden I started to break out all over my face, thought it was hormonal (which I never get, but the timing..!) however they continued. In the end I thought I'd skip using this for a few days (purely because my skin never fully absorbed it). Breakouts started to clear up in the next few days. I haven't used it since and haven't had any breakouts since. It's also not that great a retinoid product. If you find the standard retinol products too harsh try Kypris Moonlight Catalyst. Ignoring the breakouts I'd give this 2-3 stars, only because the results are not worth the retail price compared to other retinols/retinoids.

Gentle night serum
4Topical retinoids generally leave the skin feeling quite dry and peely. The Luna oil is a great alternative, the only think I don't like is the blue colouring of the product. It is noticeable when you put it on, but definitely not there the next morning. I prefer using this over 'medical' topical retinoids on days which I don't want peeling the next day and want my foundation to stay on well.

Skin change
5I have been using this, along with the Good Genes and Flora, for a little over 4 weeks now. The first days I tried this by itself at night to see if I had any reaction to it, which I didn't so I felt like I was good to go. I started its use after I came home from my holidays. On my holidays, my skin was looking like a dream. It had that nice tanned glow, was not dry or patchy but actually felt moisturized very well and it just had that healthy look and feel. Then back home the climate was completely different and my skin went full on bezerk on me. I got dry and dehydrated, got bumps and blemishes, colour difference, hormonal breakout around my jaw and because of its tightness it even itched/hurted a little bit at times. Now before holidays, these were always the skin problems I had. But hey, a woman can dream of it disappearing after holidays, right? Having seen and hear people rave about this, I took the splurge in blind panic. After of course reading through all the benefits of the ingredients, debating if it was something I could use, reading tons and tons of reviews, you know the drill. I am NOT disappointed. I read about people disliking the smell, I freaking love it and would totally bathe in it. The first morning after use, I saw a difference. No big difference, let that be clear because it does not work like that with skin care. But I did notice a slight difference, my skin appeared brighter and more smooth. Now after using it every single night as past of my nighttime routine, I definitely see a difference. My skin does not feel tight or dry anymore at all, my bumps and blemishes are basically gone and I feel like they disappear over night with use, have not had hormonal breakout, feel like discolouration is no longer here, but most of all my skin looks radiant and feels healthy. Please do note that I am using this along with Good Genes at night, which I love just as much.

This works
5Together with good genes this is phenomenal!! The combination hydrates, brightens, softens the start of aging lines and surprisely reduces the redness and sensitivity of my skin. My skin looks younger, more hydrated, clearer. I bumped into someone who I hadn't seen in a month and they commented on how great my skin looked (in combo with Lancôme foundation). I have tried many things but this combo of Sunday Riley products is just so excellent!! Definitely one to reorder.

Skeptic turned convert!
5I bought this on a whim. I had heard bloggers rave about this product, but assumed it was down to Sunday Riley having an excellent marketing team rather than the product itself. I was wrong. I have used retinoids in the past, and was a devotee to another brand, however they frequently left me with flakey areas and had to be imported from the US. This does not. It hydrates and plumps my skin like no other retinol. I stopped using this for a while and I found that it took longer for pimples to fade and reduce. I believe it is down to the anti-inflammatory properties contained in the oil. I also (controversially) like the colour! It helps me see if I have applied too much, If I start looking like a smurf I've gone overboard!

Wanted to love it but just couldn't...
2I've been a Sunday Riley fan for years. I'm rarely without Good Genes or Ceramic Slip and I swear by these two products. I'm a big believer in retinoids so when this hit the market a couple years ago I literally ran to buy it. I used it religiously for 3 months and my skin turned on me. I was so disappointed I gave the rest of the bottle to a friend. When the chance came up to get a half size bottle in a recent CB box I thought I told try it again. Alas the same thing happened only this time I broke out like a crazy person too. What's wrong with me I thought? Nothing it turns out. I took the bottle to my dermatologist who immediately the questioned use of using a Color dye in a product that has natural blue tansy in it? Very unnecessary and is likely to make people react if they have sensitive skin. So i was desperate for this to work, I'm still a fan of Sunday Riley but this product just isn't for me sadly.
