Sunday Riley LUNA Sleeping Night Oil

I may be the last one to jump on the Sunday Riley LUNA Sleeping Night Oil bandwagon, but better late than never, right? And as some of my friends collectively sigh ‘finally,’ allow me to first admit that ‘yes, I have been missing out.’ Anyone over thirty, but especially those looking to explore facial oils or the powers of Retinol, OMFG are you in luck. Worth the hype and then some, this nighttime treatment may actually be one of the best in the history of… ever.

What is it?

So unique it borders on one-of-a-kind, LUNA combines the firming and refining properties of Retinol with skin soothing botanicals. Surpassing any other retinoid driven product I’ve used to date (easily dozens), LUNA Sleeping Night Oil is the only anti-aging treatment that actually delivers visible results after a single use. Mirroring the positive effects of prescription strength Vitamin A derivatives, LUNA excels at addressing expression lines, hyperpigmentation, and loss of elasticity.

Something Blue…

While Retinol is one of the very few clinically proven superhero ingredients, it can be drying and cause skin sensitivity, flaking, and redness in some people. Sunday Riley balances its potency by infusing Luna with healing and nourishing extracts.

Blue Tansy and German Chamomile, both high contributors to Luna’s trademark hue, are rich in azulene with incredible soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Together with Avocado Seed Oil (packed with Vitamins A, B, C, D & E) and Chia Seed Oil (natural source of Omega 3 and Alpha Lipoic Acid) this firming and refining blend works without any downtime nor irritation.

When and how?

Strictly a part of your PM routine, use LUNA Sleeping Night Oil after cleansing and layer it under a moisturizer if you have dry skin. Technically an oil, it is very lightweight, and absorbs ultra fast, leaving behind no trace of its tint on your face nor pillowcase. The calming scent is reminiscent of herbal tea and dissipates shortly after applying. No joke, a couple of drops before bed will result  in a smooth, bright, and even complexion overnight. That’s hardcore.

Without a doubt among the most intriguing brands of today, Sunday Riley is doing everything right. From the tumblr’esque website through cult formulas to a following that includes every Beauty Editor, YouTuber and blogger, the entire product range is nothing but appealing. Though the LUNA Sleeping Night Oil is exclusive to Sephora right now, the you can find the entire line up at barneys.com, Nordstrom.com and SpaceNK.
