Sunday Riley

U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil

( 15ml )

I was pretty sceptical about using this product, despite having seen and read so many reviews on this product. Many said it worked for them however there were others which said it caused more breakouts for them. However, desperately looking for something to try for my acne prone skin, I purchased the 15 ml bottle to test it out. I purchased the product in January and had used this oil everyday. I’ve noticed a major transformation in my skin, pores and breakouts and can say this is a true miracle product which works. I finished the 15 ml bottle within a month of purchasing and needless to say I’ve purchased it again, this time the 30 ml bottle. It’s definitely more on the expensive side however it’s worth every drop.

I think I found my soulmate. I want to spend the rest of my life with it. I have oily skin that's prone to acne and redness. This babe fixed me in literally one night - that’s how you know when it’s true love, ladies. The very next morning after my first use, all my pimples were gently dried out, skin was soothed and smooth, and my pores we visibly smaller. It’s probably some kind of dark magic but I don’t even mind. Love you, my sweet sweet U.F.O.

Despite the bad reviews left on the comment section, I decided to give this product a go! I have suffered from acne for as long as I can remember, I’ve used literally every product under the sun. Since using this product, it has definitely given me a clearer complexion and I haven’t broken out as much as normally do. I definitely see an overall improvement in my skin ( my acne scars/marks have definitely faded since using the product).

I actually have really oily skin which causes pimples on my forehead, huge pores and really congested skin... I usually avoid oils and heavy moisturisers because my skin is so oily but this oil is so amazing! Using this has actually helped to regulate my sebum production so I will use this overnight and find my skin is much less oily over the course of the day. It's also really helped smooth my skin and minimise my pores. It is kinda pricey but you only really need a couple small drops each night so the bottle lasts a really long time! (I have the 15ml)

I hate reviews, which are over the top. No skin concern is fixed by one product over night like a miracle! Those reviews just get us excited and after buying we are disappointed and stop using. So let's keep it real. This oil is really good, it's drying out my pimples without drying out the rest of my skin. It takes down redness. Don't over do it or you'll purge. Give Ufo a good month to do its work and you'll start to see results. Don't use this after a silicone moisturizer! It won't penetrate! I usi it with DE Protini and and I like the combo. This and the DE Fromboose Serum really made a difference with my hormonal ance.

I purchased this product in May after much deliberation due to the price, but I had seen so many positive reviews and had got to a point with my skin where I had had enough that I went for it and splurged. I suffer from cystic acne, large, red and sore spots under the skin. When I got the item I read that you was supposed to ‘purge’ but this did not really happen for me, I got a few little white heads but that was about it. I noticed a difference with using this product within a week! I couldn’t believe how much the redness and size had reduced in such a small amount of time. After regular use (I would use this in the evening in my routine) I got to the point where I was happy to go out without foundation on, a huge deal for me! People comment on the smell but ton be honest I don’t mind it! You don’t smell it after a while and I’m sure no one else would notice. I got the 30ml bottle and I would say it lasted me around 4-5 months. Towards the end of the bottle I thought I would be clever and stop using it,big mistake! The cysts came back within a month and it felt like they were worse than ever, they were truly getting me down. I tried loads of other products because of the price of this but nothing compared. I purchased another bottle of this a few weeks ago and I have seen a reduction yet again! This is truly a wonder product and I would 100% give this a go if you can relate to some of my skin complaints.

For some time it seemed to help but as I was using it twice a week my pores became so clogged. I stopped using it and they started to clear up.

I am so happy that I bought this. I use it every night before I go to sleep and it's so nice to finally find something that helps to stop my breakouts. It feels so nice on the skin. If you have problem skin then buy this.

Since I was 13( now I’m 20) I had really problematic skin, hormonal acne, etc. It was okay, not as bad as other people have, but I always struggled from it and the texture that it caused. I first heard about this oil from Kathleen Lights, and then a couple of months later from Samantha Ravndahl, who also had really bad skin, and she cleared it up. She said it was a miracle for her. I was very sceptical. Then after a while, I purchased it, first in March, I just to try it out. Now it is my 5th (30ml) bottle, and I would never in my life skip this for a day. This made my skin beautiful. It cleared up, and I’m so close to that point, that soon I will not need any foundation. Can you believe that? I will buy this forever, for the rest of my life.

I first heard about this through this product by watching the absolutely stunning Kaushal. I have literally bought pretty much every product that comes out of that women’s mouth lol. Sunday Riley UFO ultra clarifying face oil being one of them and OMG does it work. It not only clears up emerging pimples that are still underneath the skin but then it also zaps those that have already flourished and done their thang! It’s an acquired scent but I actually quite like it and a little goes a long way so definitely worth the investment. Overall love this product!

This product smells so bad that I simply can't stand using it, and I'm usually not sensitive to smells. I bought it because it's so hyped but I'm so disappointed

I bought this on a whim as I was on a lookout for an oil to treat my hormonal acne. Since then, I have been loving it for keeping my zits at bay. It's really nourishing and what I enjoy it most is how it doesn't dry out my acne to the point where it becomes crusty and makeup doesn't sit well over it. I find the smell absolutely divine, albeit a bit herbaceous but it feels really luxurious. Absorbs quickly and overall - my fave Sunday Riley product to date!

I was reading these reviews and wasn't 100% sold on it so I got the 15ml size to trial it, and I'm so glad I did! I suffer from congestion and the random breakout here and there...I hate using drying serums and products which normally are recommended for my skin type. This oil has helped so much with my congestion, dries so fast and hydrates my skin!

With all the hype around it I was so excited to try it out and really hoped to get some help with my break outs. I have hormonal acne. I honestly can't see any difference for the better or the worse after using the oil on a daily basis for 3 months. My breakouts are not getting less and I don't see any quicker healing or quicker disappearing of the spots. I won't repurchase after I used it up as it is much to pricey for barely having any effect on my skin.

Was a bit worried about this because I have really oily skin, but got it with my b-day discount to try out and I really like it! While it hasn't eliminated all my breakouts (most of which can be attributed to stress), it's definitely helped stop the breakouts from becoming fully-fledged pimples that get inflamed and pus-y. I used to get really awful spots along my jawline but those have mostly disappeared now. Will definitely repurchase when another discount comes along :D

So it's taken me using the whole bottle for me to write this review but I have re purchased so I think I must have enjoyed it. It didn't clear things up over night but it definitely does help your acne over time. I guess anyone will skin issues knows how hard it is to pin point what works and what doesn't. I think this is a good product and I will continue to use it but I still need to get to the bottom of while I'm having breakouts in the first place.

I have problematic skin, occasional zits that scar for a couple of weeks. Always on my cheeks. I cleanse, I exfoliate, I tone, I serum. I don't even eat bread, or drink milk. And I haven't eaten chocolate in weeks :/ This oil didn't do much. I love it, it smells so good, I love the green vibe, it gives a nice glow and feels nice, but I shouldn't buy it again. It just doesn't do enough for me.

I’ve decided to try it out because of all that hype on Instagram. It actually made me break out even more. Wouldn’t recommend it.

This oil is amazing. I apply in the evening and in the morning my skin is calm, breakouts are reduced in size and are not inflamed. I have been using this oil for less then a month but my skin already looks so much better. I am definitely going to buy the full sized bottle.

Will definitely repurchase it again.

It works so well on my skin: it is definitely my secret to defeating acne scars.

So it has very nice results. You need to use this oil for 3 days and you can see the first result. I recommend it!

This oil is amazing. Smells amazing. Does what it says. It removed all the bumps I had on my face that nothing else seemed to do so. It is nourishing as well, leaves you feeling like you just left from the spa. I use it night and day, mix it with my gel moisturiser if I don't want it to look too shiny on my bare face and I like to drench myself in it at night. The 15 ml bottle lasted me 2 months and before it is completely gone I already bought a backup. I loooove this.

Love this product. I use it each evening and have definitely seen an improvement in my skin.

I was unsure about buying this oil for so long after reading horrific reviews or ones that sounded too good to be true. For people unsure, the smaller bottle is handy as less money loss if you hate it. I wouldn't say I suffer from acne I'm just very prone to breakouts on my cheeks, chin and shoulders. I have very oily skin and have blackheads around my nose and chin. I was worried and oil would make me even shinier but I use this every other day and my skin has never looked better I now use a lighter coverage foundation even for nights out, I think the people who are suffering from breakouts after using this are using too much too quick maybe. The bottle suggests three times a week so I alternate it with my other night creams. It is quite a heavy oil and the smell takes a while to get used to so I use it at night I find there is residue in the morning on my skin so I am a little bit shiny when I wake up even when using less it doesn’t fully sink in but this isn’t an issue as I cleanse in the morning too. I would recommend this oil for sure if you suffer from breakouts, use a small amount every other day to avoid purging and you should be okay. I gave 4stars because of the smell of the oil and the colour is bright green but it does what it says it should so maybe I'm just being fussy.

Even though it smells a bit funky, it does work well. Follow the instructions and start off slowly so you don't break out more and you might have yourself a new holy grail product. I have very oily, acne-prone skin and this has definitely helped to keep breakouts at bay as I immediately notice the difference when I stop using it.

I tried this with great expectation as I have acne rosacea on my chin, tried it and found it really greasy and sticky, it was overloading my congested skin, I could see no improvement of the pimples, actually quite an aggravation of rosacea red patches, but for me definitely.

I knew I had to have it the second it came out and so excited to find out Cult Beauty delivered to New Zealand. Once I got this product I was a little disappointed if I'm honest, I think I expected an overnight miracle but this was more of a slow and subtle change for me. I'm glad I took a before and after photo because wow! Now I see its true results. My texture has evened out, redness reduced and breakouts are now only hormonal. My skin looks hydrated and glows which is amazing because all my harsh acne treatments used to leave my breakouts dry and red. I wish I could attach the photos for you because it's truly amazing. It did take 6 months but I'm so happy and wouldn't live without my UFO.

I love the product and, despite the initial purging phase, think it has done wonders for my skin. However, the pipette applicator is awful; it drops out so much, meaning that a lot of product is wasted and trying to apply it in the hope of it not going everywhere is highly unlikely. For the price, I'm not happy that the applicator, which I'm sure could be easily fixed, means so much of the product ends up wasted.

Does nothing special for my skin. Unpleasant smell too. My Sisley Rose oil may be more expensive, but so much more worth it.

Been using this for over a month and I can safely say it has made a noticeable difference to my overall complexion. I have acne prone combination skin and have suffered from acne for a really long time. This product instantly became a cult favourite. My spots have reduced and become less inflamed overnight. if I had any complaint it would be that because I have slightly oily skin and this product is an oil, I can not use it in the morning. but it still works like a gem. Just ordered my second bottle.

I have almost finished my second bottle and I love this oil. My skin tone has evened out to the point where I no longer need to wear foundation EVERY day. It sinks into skin quickly and controls breakouts (though I do still get the occasional pimple). The smell is not great though not as bad as mentioned in some of the reviews. I am using UFO daily and Luna before bed.

Having used the Juno and Flora oils (all hail Juno), I was so excited by an oil offering hydrating properties combined with anti acne and blemish ingredients (usually drying). But over the year i used it (the bottle never seems to end which is a plus), I never saw any difference. It has a medicinal smell which makes you believe something is working, but sadly not much for me. A big issue is that is didn't hold well on the skin, and by the time you lie your head on a pillow, the pillowcase has a better chance at smaller pores. I used the Sunday Riley lactic acid mask (forgotten the name) which is one of my favourite products ever, hoping the exfoliation would help the skin absorb the oil better, but sadly no improvement.

Unbelievable. My mouse has been hovering longingly over the 'Add To Bag' button for UFO for months now, but when CB recently began stocking the 15ml size, I knew I had to finally click. Having had crystal clear skin as a teenager, I was ill-equipped to deal with acne when it took up residence on my chin at the grand old age of 21. Six years later, and I was still struggling with never ending pimples. That is, until this beauty arrived (quickly and painlessly, I might add, as is the norm with Cult Beauty!) My skin was severely congested when UFO beamed down into my postbox, mainly due to a flurry of weird skincare experiments I'd performed on my face in the week prior. I was suffering with volcanic pimples, and craters that would've made the moon wince. Needless to say, I was ready to bathe my face in this stuff. The morning after applying, I ran to the mirror to inspect my chin. Not much change, but certainly no new spots had formed, which was a triumph in itself. I was a little disheartened, as all the reviews I'd read basically guaranteed I would be a Victoria's Secret model by the next morning. However, I added a few drops to my foundation, and went about my day. During the day, I duly noted that no new spots were forming under my makeup, which I can hand on heart say has NEVER happened to Mr before! Over the next few days, the situation improved dramatically, making me completely eat humble pie on my first impressions. This stuff is AMAZING!!!! Its a week tomorrow since I've been using this oil, and today, for the first time in almost ten years, I left the house without makeup on. I've had no new pimples, my awful acne scarring has lightened and smoothed to the point it's barely visible, pores have shrunk to microscopic size, overall skin tone and texture has improved... It is truly out of this world. Now the specifics: I cleanse my face in the morning with a makeup wipe, and then immediately tone with witch hazel, before moisturizing with Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. I then add three drops of UFO to my foundation, and blast off for the day! At night, I double cleanse with a makeup wipe, and then Cetaphil Gentle Face Wash in the shower. Witch hazel toner again, and then use about 5-7 drops of UFO all over my face. The smell is a little funky, as people have mentioned (oil of oregano anyone?!), but nothing overpowering, and certainly not enough to put you off once you see the results. I wish I could post pictures of my before and afters, as I don't really think words do this little miracle oil justice. The difference is truly unbelievable. If, like me, you were deliberating over the price - don't. The amount you'll save on crap skincare that doesn't deliver, and daily makeup that doubles your woes is enough to make this worth it. I've used this twice daily, and barely made a dent in the bottle. What an absolute winner. I've ordered the Sunday Riley starter kit, and will absolutely be purchasing about a thousand full sized UFO bottles once this one finishes!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, CB and Sunday Riley!!!!!

Please never stop carrying UFO - it is the best oil I've ever used. So incredible for the clarity, softness, brightness of skin. I will use this forever.

Not seen a difference at all. I mean don’t always believe the hype or reviews. But then I guess everyone’s skin is different. I still use it as it makes my skin soft. But my acne scarring and marks are still there and my oily skin is the same. So it hasn’t done what it should’ve done. Disappointed but then I guess you won’t know it if works without trying it yourself. Too expensive.

My partner bought this product for me after I kept complaining about my breakouts. Within a few days of using this, my skin was starting to clear. Although it is an oil, it dries spots. I won’t lie, this oil stinks. I hate the smell but I just see past it and wash my hands after using it. I’ve been using this for a good few weeks and I've barely made a dent in the bottle. I sometimes use this under my foundation if it’s cool enough outside and it sits quite well. I would definitely recommend trying this for blemishes, a little goes a long way.

After discovering such hype around this product, and seeking to refine my skin to the point of it becoming crystal clear, I decided to invest in this product. I recently used this for 2 weeks straight, and right from the start, my skin had done nothing but break out all over my cheeks and chin (which hasn’t happened to me in years). I’ve taken a bit of a break to see what would happen if I stopped using it, and needless to say that my skin began to clear almost completely. Now, I wanted to give UFO the benefit of the doubt and believe that my skin was reacting so badly because it was “purging”, but for the price I paid I would’ve hoped it worked out for me in the first instance. I’m considering giving it another go (I only used it once every night) as I really want to like this product. Surely I wasn’t using it too often? Perhaps I’ll apply it once every other night next time I try? Overall, be suspicious of the hype - it might not work out for you either.

I only use this 1-2 times a week or on days I can feel a spot coming up! It is a little on the pricey side so it gets a 4 out of 5 from me. I absolutely love the smell, it's a very herby- clean- green smell? I don't know? I really love this, will defo buy again - or something else from Sunday Riley. Seems like they know what they're doing! I have combo/normal skin and I get hormonal spots/pimples.

This does not work for me. I use it in the morning or in the evening but nothing... Waste of money. The comments make you believe it works and I am was lured in.

This thing is totally useless. I'm very disappointed. It did not help me at all. Do not be fooled. Does not work. This is useless and it is expensive. I do not recommend anyone.

This is now my second purchase and I can honestly say I would not be without this product. It has cleared up my acne, which I have been suffering with for years. 100% recommend!

Whilst I actually didn’t mind the strong smell, I was really disappointed with this product. It broke me out after the first use and seemed to make my already oily skin even oilier. Tried letting my skin calm down and trying again but had the same result every time. Bit of a waste to be honest.

It's ok, but I hate the smell. My skin did look nice and clear however, it takes ages to absorb so I couldn't use it in the morning.

Great <3

This has changed my life, the texture of my skin is the best it’s ever been!

Made my skin better! It isn’t over-drying! Purchased two already! Great to use before moisturizer! Love the smell too:)

I have an oily t zone but normal skin elsewhere. I bought this oil expecting wonders but felt like it didn't do a whole lot to my complexion. Its a delightful product, absorbs brilliantly and is full of great ingredients but just didn't see much of a difference! I like face oils but I can get a cheaper one that does the same thing.

This oil has been a true game changer for me. It really unclogs my pores overnight. I used to have cystic acne and deep pimples under the skin and no acid or mask could tame them. But ever since I started using this oil, my skin has cleared up and I feel comfortable wearing no make-up at all! I definitely recommend you get it. The smaller bottle will last you a really long time.

I have a really sensitive, prone to regular breakouts, irritated and dry skin (everything basically). I’d heard a lot of good things about Sunday Riley so I thought I would try the best suited oil to my skin type. Heals my breakouts and provides a nourishing and moisturising layer. I use it when I’ve got troublesome skin - calms redness and bumps right down! Love it

Really good clearing oil! It’s not drying like if you’re using the 2% salicylic acid by the ordinary, but obviously much more expensive. I have closed comedones from hormonal acne that turn into spots once a month and this really helped tackle them - but fair warning, it made them purge first so don’t start using a week before an event, and you do not need more than 3-4 drops for your whole face.

I really like this product. The smell is quite strong, but I don’t mind it. It works well.

My skinsaver! I firstly apply a moisturizing serum and then a use this oil. It really helps with clogged pores

Didn’t like it as much as I hoped. I get two or three breakouts each month and I thought UFO will help rid of them, but there was no result whatsoever.

This is my SOS one-step treatment when my skin breakout. Apply directly first step on cleansed face or after a basic hydration serum is the way to clear up all acne. With this product, I rarely need to spot treat any acne. It not only target acne, but also provide sufficient hydration for a all-face treatment. It's a dry oil, so no worries on stickiness.

I didn't realise how great UFO was for my skin until I ran out of my first bottle - I quickly bought a second bottle and now won't do without it. It really works!

Works in keeping my acne at bay.

Salicylic acid and oils well purify my leather from pimples. I love it.

Purchased this as I saw a good review from a blogger on Instagram...Was getting a lot of spots (still getting spots in my early 30s!) and was looking for something that would really work. Literally all the spots I had became dry over night & I’ve been getting compliments that my forehead looks ‘tight and smooth’! So even working on my fine lines. Will buy again..

Bought this to help treat my hormonal/pcos acne on my chin & jaw area and I didn't notice much of a difference to occurrence of new spots, inflammation or to scarring, despite regular use over a few months. It also dried out my skin a little. This is the only Sunday Riley product I've ever been disappointed in. But giving it three stars still as perhaps it would work better for different acne issues.

I got the oil around 5 days ago and at the moment I haven't seen anything amazing happen to my skin. A few of my blackheads have gone but non of my scaring from spots have gone I will keep on using it and pray my scars fade. I was expecting more from it seen as though there is amazing reviews.

I really feel like this expensive oil has done nothing for me and I normally worship Sunday Riley. Artemis I will buy on any day, but UFO has been utterly disappointing. Never again.

I have always been self conscious of my bare skin as I have slight acne scaring. After using this for 2 weeks I have seen a great improvement, even to leave the house with nothing on as a Base. Extremely happy with the results so far! Five stars

I purchased this oil after trying Luna as it's more targeted to my skin concerns. I don't like the smell as much, but prefer the consistency. It's not as heavy as Luna and absorbs well into the skin.

This oil single handedly cleared up a severe case of acne and clogged pores for me without further drying out my already dry and dehydrated skin!! Additionally, my skin is hypersensitive but UFO didn't aggravate my skin even once! I'm going to permanently keep a bottle in my stash to always be ready to combat any acne flareups!
