sleeping beauty — THIS IS FARAH NOW

why i tried it...

I wanted to try this product because I have used retinols in the past and loved the results, but not a fan of the potential side effects. What caught my attention is Sunday Riley’s claim that key ingredient Trans-retinoic Acid Ester can be potent like retinol, however far more gentle.

If you have concerns with an overall lack luster complexion, uneven skin tone or fine lines – read on. If not, lucky you!

my experience...

I used Luna Sleeping Night Oil almost every night for just over one month. By day two, I knew I was onto something. By the end of week one, I was waking up looking like I was drinking the stuff the same way a baby drinks a bottle of milk and then passes out - my skin looked like it had the longest nap ever. My skin appeared brighter with an overall even tone. My hyper pigmentation was toned down without any peeling, redness or irritation. I will say, my skin did feel a bit tight, but nothing close to past experiences with retinols.

how i used it...

For the first month, I used this in combination with Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment ( more to come on this in a separate post). As of lately ( without Good Genes) I apply 4 drops, one on my forehead, one on each cheek and chin then gently rub into skin until the blue tinted oil disappears. I wait a few minutes until fully absorbed ( just enough time for my three year old to distract me ) and then I seal in with my Derma E Anti-Wrinkle Oil. I know, oil on oil but something about this combo is working for me these days.

final thoughts...

This product impressed me. I am super happy with the results and I will buy again, The only draw back is the hefty price tag, but totally worth the splurge!

If you are not sure about investing the $70 for the beautifully packaged 15mL bottle, I suggest popping into your local Sephora and asking for a sample (I sure did).

P.S If you go for it, remember your sunscreen. Minimum 25 SPF ladies :)

Thanks for popping in!
