Few skin-care brands spark as much loyalty as Sunday Riley. In a recent survey of over 400 NewBeauty readers,* we asked them to name their favorite skin-care products. One brand kept rising to the top, with fans across every age group raving about how these serums make their skin look and feel. From vitamin C to retinol, here’s what real readers had to say about the Sunday Riley formulas they swear by.
Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment
Glycolic acid is a go-to for smoothing texture and brightening dull skin, but Sunday Riley’s Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment ($85) takes it to another level. A 44-year-old reader said the difference in her skin was “almost immediately noticeable,” calling it “amazing” for keeping her face looking fresh and youthful. Another reader, 50, praised how well it exfoliates, while a 45-year-old shared that it "makes my skin clear and feels great.” For visible results without the sting, you can't go wrong.
A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum
Retinol can be a game-changer for fine lines, texture and tone, but only if it’s done right. Sunday Riley’s A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum ($85) is a favorite among readers who want results without the irritation. A 59-year-old said she's such a fan, she uses it below the neck, too, and loves the way it makes both her "face and body look and feel," while a 53-year-old shared that she sees “the best results” with this formula. If you're looking for high-performance skin care that doesn’t overwhelm sensitive skin, try this.

B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum
Niacinamide is one of those ingredients that quietly does it all—brightens, calms, refines—and Sunday Riley’s B3 Nice Serum ($65) is a standout. A 58-year-old reader said she’s tried other niacinamide formulas, but this one delivers the best results. This serum is a gentle powerhouse that helps even tone and smooth texture, making it a must-have for anyone dealing with redness, enlarged pores or dullness.
