Sunday Riley

Luna Sleeping Night Oil

( 15ml )

This was my first premium retinol and I definitely enjoyed using it, although I didn’t get on with the smell at all, and I think there is too much blue dye added to give it that blue tansy look. I do think it’s had an effect and my skin is looking good - plump, nourished, but I would want to try an alternative next as the smell of this is off putting.

I bought this after reading glowing reviews. I personally haven't found it very effective and I don't like the smell or the colour. I prefer Skinceuticals and Zelens' offerings to this. Will not repurchase.

I am 25. I bought this oil a few months ago and I’m so glad I did. My skin feels amazing. I wake up to smoother clearer skin every day. My skin type is oily and I can promise you it’s worth it. I haven’t broken out with any spots.

I got this one with the Lydia box a while ago. I didn’t have big hopes as the reviews have been mixed. But I really like it! I have used other retinol for almost a year (it does take up to 6 months before results) so I didn’t expect my skin to react to this one. I did feel a bit red after the first night but the next day I was fine. I normally can’t use oils as they make me break out but this fits me perfect. I wake up with a super smooth skin every day and I’m very happy! Only negative thing is the price, the bottle is very small and expensive compared to other retinol (especially the prescription ones). But I might buy it again because I love it so much! Perfect for summer if you want to continue with retinol but want something less strong.

I use this a few times a week, at the end of my routine. I use a few drops alone once a week and a couple of nights one drop mixed into my moisturiser. Not sure if this is how you should use it but it certainly suits me that way. The difference in the morning is really obvious. My skin is always really soft and smooth but has a plump glow to it that I've never experienced with any other products. It seems to last forever which is the biggest bonus bearing in mind its price. Lastly, I would say that definitely smells quite strongly, but as you use it in the evenings anyway this shouldn't make a difference.

I was looking for my first retinol product and this sounded great as is was supported with lots of rich oils, perfect for dry and dehydrated skin which mine is. I found it very slow to absorb and still left residue hours later, creating an oily t-zone which I’ve never experienced before. I hated the blue tint too and the scent isn’t pleasant. With no visible results in my skin, the price tag and the low concentration of retinol, there are much better products to try. (My skin is dry and dehydrated with minimal hormonal breakouts)

I saw a visible difference within the first week. My face was going through a weird "phase" at the end of last year, it was cracked and peeling. Once it stopped I needed something to get it back to feeling good again, I am so happy I bought this, it looked and felt happy again. The biggest improvement was under my eyes, so much lighter and brighter. I haven't been consistent with it the past 2/3 weeks but getting back to using it every day and loving it.

Now its essential for me. It got my skin brighter, younger, stronger and shining.

Broke me out.

I've been using the sleeping night oil for about 3 weeks alongside the ceramic slip cleanser and martian mattifying toner. I have incredibly sensitive skin which reacts badly to a lot of products, I'm always careful to only use one new product at once and to use for a whole month before altering my skincare / make up routine. I saw instant results after starting with this product, my skin was noticeably plumper and more hydrated after the first night and redness have gradually reduced, my acne flare-ups also haven't been anywhere near as bad as usual. Sunday Riley is definitely a pricey brand but well worth it in my opinion.

Luna Oil was one of my first luxury skin care products and as it has done wonders to my skin, I will continue to use it. I have sensitive and really dry skin. I use Luna every evening and it leaves my skin soft and healthy looking. I love the smell of the oil and enjoy its beautifying benefits to my skin. I highly recommend this product.

I've purchased it as part of the "Back to school" set. I'm so glad I did not purchase the full size! This product does not bring me any visible results. Also, it is rather unpleasant to use: it does not absorb well, the smell gives me literally headaches every time I use it and I seriously do not buy the brand's explanation for adding blue dye to it. Honestly, I have had so much better experience using Ordinary's Advanced Retinoid 2% - next morning my skin was visibly smoother, more even toned and looked well rested. And it did not contain any dyes, nor smelled overwhelmingly. Not to mention the price... Overall, I would not recommend this product nor will I purchase the full size.

This is pure luxury for me, absolutely love the smell of this product. I've never used oils before because I have acne prone skin but this oil hasn't caused me to break out, leaves skin immediately feeling silky smooth. Don't need to apply a lot so hoping this product will last a while, will definitely re-buy when I run out.

This oil changed my skincare game. It makes my skin plumped smoooth and even.

It minimises pores in a way no other product does. I'm 24 and my skin finally looks the way it should. I have oily skin too, so using Luna and UFO, has balanced my skin out perfectly.

I love this oil from the fragrance to how it feels on my skin. My skin is looking clearer and more glowing!

I feel like this product has so many mixed reviews - it's a Marmite product for sure. For me, however, it has become a holy grail product. My skin bounces between dry and flaky to combination and congested depending on what I eat/the weather/hormones/position of the planets (who knows) and this has seen me through it all. It has evened out my skin tone, it helps with years-old acne scarring and current scarring, it diminishes active breakouts meaning they don't stick around for too long - and it does all of this without stripping my skin like a ''normal' retinol/retinoid product might. The smell is gorgeous and the bottle is sturdy and also pretty (which is always a nice pro!). I use Pixi Glow Tonic in the morning and this in the evenings and it's not been too much for my skin at all. It should also be noted that this is not an oil, it is a treatment so you will probably need a moisturiser/oil after this product has absorbed. I know some people have concerns with the colourants in this, but Sunday Riley has said it has less colour than a swipe of lipstick or eyeshadow. However, I can't see how the dye adds anything to the product though so it is slightly irritating (for me anyway) that it is there. All in all - it does exactly what is says on the tin. I've recommended it to many friends and family members! It's not cheap but I only use three drops each time and it's lasting me AGES so far so price-per-use is minimal. Would recommend to anyone!

This oil really helps rejuvenate my skin, and even makes my acne reduced and much less pronounced. It lasts for a very long time (I've had it for about 6 months so far, although I do use it sparingly). Highly recommended!! Great for soothing and nourishing.

I have read the reviews and was skeptical of this but thought to give it a try. First of all I have psoriasis - patchy flakey skin on my face. I was particularly worried if this would make it worse as it does say on the box that initial use there may be some flakiness, but on first night of use woke up to skin that is not as inflamed and not flakey. With further nights of using Luna I find my skin is clearer in the mornings. I find just using 3-4 drops of Luna is fine, but I still needed to use a night cream as I find the oil is not enough to hydrate my face throughout the night. Overall first 5 days of usage seems to have improved my skin texture and no flakiness! BUT they might want to think of removing the colourants.

So, I purchased this 6-7 months ago after really contemplating as the price does matter, for £85 my skin better do something otherwise I want a refund. I have oily/combination skin. After using the Luna sleeping oil every 2-3 days, from my first use I noticed a difference. For you to notice the difference I use it every other night or so. When I wake up I really do notice something difference, my skin looks brighter, clearer almost it has been given a shot of caffeine to wake it up! Although, I have oily/combination skin, that only thing I don't like it doesn't make me feel like a grease ball, although i do use like 3-4 drops. But now and again when I have blemishes it has reduced the appearance and if you're considering to purchase this, I would recommend you get a sample or pop into a store that sells Sunday Riley just to get a sample to try.

This is a solid treatment. It helps to bring radiance back to my skin and keep my breakouts under control. Again, when the product is working, I am generally ok with its smell. A little goes a long way. I usually use it 5 nights per week. A bottle lasts me more than 4 months. The only thing I don't like about this oil is the colour. I don't see it necessary to put colourant in it, for whatever reasons, I hope it can be removed from its formula one day.

I have tried Retinol products from some brands now (The Ordinary, PTR). But for my drier, sensitive skin. This is by far the product that has had the best results for me. I use it 3-4 nights a week and my skin gets softer, more even and makes my pores appear smaller. I do not get spots or extreme flaking or dryness from it either. Just a top product in every way for me.

I 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.

I 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.

I'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.

I 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.

I 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!

Honestly, I don't know how to feel towards this product. The first month when I started using it, my skin loved this product. My skin was brighter, hydrated and overall, it just looks and feels better. I've been using this product for 4 months now and I use it every alternate night. I realized after the first month of using the Luna, my skin started to react differently towards it. The morning after using Luna the night before, there would be a few pimples popping out on both sides of my cheeks. Initially, I thought that I might have layered too many products (my skincare routine is pretty simple: toner - hydrating serum - luna - night cream) therefore I decided to skip my night cream. Despite skipping the night cream, I would still get pimples after using Luna. I'm very sure it's the Luna which caused the pimples because I've stopped using it for a week and replaced it with Juno instead and my skin was fine. I did not want to give up on Luna because I really had high expectations for it and also all the hype that's been going around the internet. I tried many ways to incorporate Luna into my skincare routine but nothing seems to work. I am 24 and I really wanted to try Luna because I thought it would be a great idea to start using retinol and prevent premature aging of the skin but I am so disappointed with my skin reacts negatively towards it. I'm guessing that maybe Luna is not suitable for girls who are in their early twenties. I will definitely give Luna a try again when I hit my late twenties. I really loved how it makes my skin feels so much more hydrated and glowy during my first month of usage.

I was utterly scared to try something with retinol acid on my skin, after a horrible reaction against a high end cream containing retinol acid. This oil is just magic, it soothes down my red patches due to rosacea/eczema. It didn't make me break out, it hydrates without clogging pores. It might seem a bit oily on when one puts it on at night, but then the morning I wake up with a cleared out, even, hydrated skin. I was able to dare to walk out with no foundation on after a couple of weeks using this product, and it didn't happen since a veeeery loong time! Highly recommended and definitely will repurchase.

I started using this in conjunction with good genes as I'm sure most people do. I noticed that for the first few days I was dry and started to flake in my cheek area, which is not normally an area of concern for me. I like it, it smells nice (I think) and it makes me feel like I'm doing something good for my skin. Having said that, I have noticed my face to be slightly plumper and the texture is much softer, smoother but I feel like its a combination of the two products not just the Luna. I think when I am finished I will try another oil, just to set my mind at ease. I didn't sample first but having said that I probably would have bought it even if I did as I really like what the duo are doing together.

I've just turned thirty and figured it's (well past) time to get serious about my skin. I have oily, congested skin with sensitive patches around the outside of my face and giant, easily clogged pores for mistreating acne-prone skin. After binge reading Caroline Hirons's blog and other reviews I settled on updating my cleanser and invested in two Sunday Riley products: this and Good Genes. This is lovely to apply (though I wish they hadn't added the artificial blue!) and I love the ritual of applying a night oil. I'm not yet convinced of the power of the retinol ester and there have been no dramatic changes to my skin. However, the other ingredients certainly have a calming effect and I wake up with less redness than usual. I think I would experiment with a different facial oil before repurchasing -- but it is lovely!

I didn't buy this because of fine lines or for the anti age thing, but because of my acne. And my skin didn't change over night, but I didn't have any bad reactions either. I ALWAYS give skin care products a while to work (unless they hurt or break me out), because things take time. I use this 3-4 times a week, I use perhaps more than most people, but after 6/7 months I dread living without it. I bought this bottle in july and it is now january and it is still half full, so it will last you a long time (good thing because this number isn't cheap). It helps on my active acne, the scars from older acne breakouts, on my blackheads and makes my skin look more alive then it has for years. And the blue colour goes away when I have massaged my skin as Caroline Hirons have showed I should. I really want to try more from this line, despite the high price tag.

I've now used this oil for two weeks. Previous to buying it, I had researched it really carefully; reading and watching all available reviews. I was sceptical about some of the reviews from young users because this doesn't really seem targeted towards people in their twenties. So, to put it into context, I'm in my mid-forties with mildly dry and dehydrated skin. I have very few of fine lines, so it wasn't as if I was expecting miracles. This sounded perfect for my skin type. This was a huge investment for me and the most expensive skin product I have ever purchased. I don't have the wealth that comes with a Caroline Hirons skin wardrobe so this was a huge deal. This product has made absolutely no difference to my skin whatsoever. I didn't experience any peeling and there is no difference in softness, lines, tone, redness or dryness. I would highly recommend sampling this product before you buy it.

I have enjoyed using this product over the last few months, several times a week. I notice results every time I use it my skin looks more even and my pores are less noticeable. After seeing a tip from Sunday riley on Instagram I started using 5 drops of this followed by half a pump of Good Genes finished with Bionic, OMG game changer! My skin looks smoother and glowy, love this combo!!

Nothing has improved my skin like Luna. After a month of using it my hyperpigmentation is gone, my breakout are few and far between, and my skin is so hydrated. Good Genes is good, this is better. I use with the Mizon sleeping mask before I go to bed, and I wake up with new skin. I've had my bottle about 3 months and I've barely touched the sides - well worth it.

After three months using this everynight, I can say it's wonderful for breakouts. But any difference with my pores and my fine lines.
