Sunday Riley Skincare Review: CEO Rapid Flash brightening Serum, Martian Mattifying Toner, Luna Sleeping Night OIl

Sunday Riley Skincare - CEO Rapid Flash brightening Serum, Martian Mattifying Toner, Luna Sleeping Night OIl

So glad Sunday Riley is finally available at Sephora Thailand! I’m so glad we will now get to buy amazing skincare products without having to pre order from abroad. I’ve heard so many good things about this brand and now I got 3 items!

The first item I was really looking forward to try was the Sunday Riley Martian Mattifying Toner, however this turned out to be a disappointment.

Brand’s description: Calm problem complexions and achieve shine-free skin with Sunday Riley Martian Mattifying Melting Water-Gel Toner.

Specially developed by Sunday Riley to target oily and blemish-prone skin, this ingenious gel transforms on application into a gentle water cleanser, helping create a clearer, calmer complexion.

The clay-based formula is enriched with soothing marshmallow, cucumber, witch hazel and green tea to reduce redness, while manuka, black cumin, and magnolia bark offer a natural antibacterial boost to combat problem skin.

Watch as the two-stage application of Sunday Riley Martian Mattifying Melting Water-Gel Toner clarifies skin, tightens pores and reduces shine, leaving a fresher face and helping it hold foundation all day.

This is toner aimed at acne prone skin. To me, it is not really a gel, but leans more watery. Apparently it is to be left on, similar to a matte primer before makeup. I feel like it has a weird tinge to it, donno why. I ended up not reaching for it anymore as the scent turns me off. I researched online and saw that other people also had problems with the smell as well. What a shame.

Next is the Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum. This is one of their most expensive items available, but its worth the price in my opinion.

Brand’s description: C.E.O. Brightening Serum, powered by 15% advanced Vitamin C, is targeted to quickly fight the look of dullness, dark spots, and discolorations at the source, while diminishing the signs of aging. Skin looks and feels firmer and plumper, as youthful skin bounce and even-tone are restored.

C.E.O. Brightening Serum uses a sophisticated, ultra-powerful form of Vitamin C called THD Ascorbate. Both highly stable and oil-soluble, THD Ascorbate rapidly absorbs into the skin for visible anti-aging benefits, including visual improvement in loss of firmness, the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and dark spots and dullness.

This hydrating antioxidant formula instantly illuminates the complexion with bright radiance, while phytosterols help to reduce the look of skin sensitivity. Saccharide Isomerate extract diminishes the appearance of pores and reinforces the skin’s moisture barrier for a skin-smoothing glow. Rapidly brighten the appearance of the skin and boost vital skin bounce, in a flash!

Apply 1-2 pumps to clean skin, morning or night. Can be followed with CEO Rich Hydration Cream or Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream. Vitamin C pairs well with retinol, like Luna Sleeping Night Oil.

I have to say, this is my favourite Vitamin C serum by far. I can feel the richness in the serum, and I feel like it actually works. The formula is actually quite creamier than normal serums, and feels quite rich, but it absorbs well. My skin really does see a difference!

Lastly is the Luna Sleeping Night Oil. I received this item as PR from Sephora Thailand.

Brand’s description: A next-generation retinol oil that boosts the look and feel of skin plumpness, while improving the appearance of wrinkles, redness, and pores for visibly younger-looking skin.

Luna works throughout the night to deliver visibly youthful, luminous, even-toned skin in the morning. Trans-retinoic acid ester complex reduces the appearance of pores and wrinkles, while visibly improving the signs of premature aging: fine lines, uneven texture, age spots, dryness, and dullness. Balanced with blue tansy and German chamomile essential oils, both rich in soothing,

DIRECTIONS: Apply at night, to clean, dry face. Luna goes from blue to clear when massaged into the skin. Not for use during pregnancy.

NEXT DAY: Skin tone, dryness, redness, and luminosity are instantly, visibly improved.

IN 4 WEEKS: The appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other visual signs of aging are effectively minimized, revealing younger-looking, smoother, and more radiant skin.

I have tried the Luna sleeping oil for a while and I gotta say I really like it. I’m normally not a fan of face oils, but this one doesn’t feel greasy or oily once applied. I have yet to notice any improvements (because my skin doesn’t have that many problems) but I like the way it feels on my skin. I am giving this to my mom to see whether she sees better results.
