Sunday Riley Luna Retinol Night Face Oil 1 oz — Gentle Retinoid Ester for Sensitive Skin

Sunday Riley Luna Retinol Sleeping Anti Aging Night Face Oil is a gentle, retinol ester–based overnight oil designed to visibly refine texture, reduce the look of pores and fine lines, and soothe skin while you sleep.

Formulated for newcomers to retinol and those with sensitive skin, Luna combines a next-generation trans-retinoic acid ester complex with calming botanicals like blue tansy and German chamomile. The oil delivers targeted retinoid activity overnight while azulene-rich essential oils help minimize visible redness and promote an even-toned appearance by morning. Clinically tested for improvements in radiance, smoothness, and fine lines, this treatment is offered in both 0.5 oz and 1 oz sizes and is made in the USA.

How does Luna work to improve skin while I sleep?

Luna uses an advanced retinol ester complex that converts to active retinoid forms slowly, offering effective results with reduced irritation compared with pure retinol. The oil base helps lock in moisture and enhances ingredient delivery overnight, so skin looks smoother and more luminous by morning.

• Next-generation trans-retinoic acid ester for gradual, sustained activity
• Oil vehicle supports hydration and barrier comfort during treatment
• Nighttime application aligns with skin’s natural regeneration cycle

Will this be suitable for sensitive or new retinol users?

Luna is formulated to be more forgiving for sensitive skin and first-time retinol users because esterified retinoids typically cause less immediate irritation than strong prescription retinoids. Calming blue tansy and German chamomile are included to visibly reduce surface redness and improve overall tolerance.

• Gentler retinoid ester for a milder gradual effect
• Blue tansy and chamomile soothe and balance visible redness
• Recommended starting frequency: a few nights a week, increasing as tolerated

What skin concerns can Luna help address?

Designed as a multi-benefit night oil, Luna targets common signs of aging and uneven texture without sacrificing hydration. Users often report improved radiance, smoother texture, and diminished appearance of fine lines and pores with consistent use.

• Visibly reduces the look of fine lines and pore size
• Improves skin smoothness and brightness over weeks
• Helps even skin tone and reduce the look of dryness or dullness

How should I introduce Luna into my routine to get results safely?

Start gradually: apply a small amount to clean, dry skin 2–3 times per week at night, then increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always pair with daytime SPF and consider layering a lightweight moisturizer if you experience temporary dryness.

• Begin with 2–3 nights weekly, then add nights gradually
• Use sunscreen each morning to protect retinoid-treated skin
• For dryness: layer under or over a hydrating moisturizer as needed

Who this is for: Sunday Riley Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil is ideal for anyone seeking a gentler, oil-based retinoid treatment—especially new retinol users or those with sensitive skin who still want visible improvements in texture, radiance, and the appearance of fine lines. It suits normal, oily, combination, dry, and sensitive skin types and is available in two sizes to fit trial or full-use needs.
