I’m just about at the end of my everyday skincare products and was about to reorder them until I read about Sunday Riley on The Line. I was intrigued with the approach in building a skincare routine, specifically “less is more” and the focus on proven products that work when used alone or multi-task when combined together. Narrowed down to 3 signature products, Ceramic Slip cleanser, Good Genes treatment and Bionic night cream with the promise of radiant skin, I’m giving them a try. I did a little research on my own and read reviews on these specific three products and they were all incredibly positive. An eye cream was the only thing missing for my personal needs, so I ordered that on my own from Nordstrom (I’ll also receive a gift with purchase of a deluxe sample of Good Genes…perfect for travel).
Read the write up on The Line on the products and their ingredients and more about what goes into the skincare line at Sunday Riley. It all sounds good.

I’ve been using Sunday Riley for over year. I love the serum! Patrick Foley, the resident make up artist at Barneys in Beverly Hills introduced me to this product.

Good! I can’t wait to try it! Might plan a visit to Barneys BH to meet with Patrick Foley…the cosmetics look beautiful too.

I also saw The Line’s Sunday Riley post and I was curious. About 5 years ago I stopped buying proprietary skincare products because of the harmful ingredients and switched to things from my kitchen (aloe vera, honey, goat’s milk, coconut oil) or single ingredients I could source and add on my own (hyaluronic acid, olive-derived squalane, etc).
I’m in my 50s and since I made the change, my skin is issue-free and has never looked better. I believe when it comes to what we put on our skin, less truly is more. And what’s more important is what goes in our bodies, despite what “they” tell us to sell us. Skin is an organ and it needs feeding right, just like our other organs.
That said, the entire beauty industry works so hard to seduce us with tantalizingly packaged products with amazing claims – buying the dream, my friend calls it. But I’ve learned to do my research in the form of label-reading. What an eye-opener that is!
With Sunday Riley I only got as far as checking the first 3 ingredients in the cleanser before I’d seen enough. After water (aqua), the next two ingredients are both listed on the EWG SkinDeep website as known skin irritants!
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a known skin irritant anywhere near my skin! It’s the beauty industry’s form of greenwashing, making all-natural claims when in fact their products are laced with ingredients that are not needed by our skin. Most of these ingredients service the manufacturer, not the customer: preservatives, thickeners, colors, fragrances, stabilizers, silicones so the products feel “smooth” on the skin, the list goes on and on. None of these things help the skin and many actively harm it. Please, read labels and look up ingredients. It might change your skin for the better!
Ok, sorry for the rant. I feel strongly about this.
