Did I initially dabble with Sunday Riley products because of the Sunday moniker? Most definitely but after a few applications of certain key products, I quickly became hooked and the seemingly novel-to-me name factor, was no longer a selling point. As much as shilling over close to a hundred pounds for one skincare product leaves me feeling cold, I'd only be lying to myself and you, if I didn't confess that in certain instances it has been worth it. If you have acne prone skin like myself, you know that finding products that deliver without further irritation is an endless battle, so when one comes along, you do tend to be loyal. Sunday Riley U.F.O Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil makes my skin rejoice and my bank balance weep but despite the mixed emotions, it is something I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone suffering from problematic skin.
I love face oils and have for a long time but I know some fellow oily/blemish prone readers, occasionally avoid such medium through fear of blocked pores and of course further pimples. If this is in any way a concern for you, then Sunday Riley U.F.O Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil may be the product you've been crying out for. It has been formulated with problem complexions firmly in mind and is of course non-comedogenic (basically it won't clog your pores), all the while being an all singing and dancing skincare solution.
Typically, most face oils main purpose and propriety claim are to nourish and moisturise the skin; Sunday Riley U.F.O Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil of course does just this, relying on gentle milk thistle and cucumber seed. Great but like I said not entirely out the norm, what sets Sunday Riley U.F.O Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil aside is that it fully caters to blemish prone complexions: it soothes and calms inflamed and irritated skin (chamomile and liquorice extract to the rescue in this instance), using salicylic acid it gently, clears exfoliates and re-balances, and to heal and prevent both future and existing breakouts there is of course a dash of the natural antiseptic tea tree oil in the mix too. If that is not enough with continued use it can help to soften the appearance of fine lines - a wonder oil if ever there was one.
When I first received my bottle of Sunday Riley U.F.O Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil, I was a little apprehensive at first, it did seem to offer too much of a good thing but I was happily proven wrong. As someone with oily skin, my complexion is easily overwhelmed and sometimes standard oils -and moisturisers for that matter - don't fully absorb, leading the way to blocked pores and break outs; I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my skin laps this green concoction up and truly, how instantaneous the results were. I can't say that I have found Sunday Riley U.F.O Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil to be all that wondrous at preventing breakouts but then again my skin is not exactly predictable, however I have found that when a blemish rears its ugly head it quickly disappears (scar free may I add) after a few uses of the U.F.O oil. In the last few months (I began reaching for this around mid-April), my complexion is more balanced and not at the mercy of excessive sebum - even in the most humid of conditions, which is nothing short of miraculous.
I've openly stated before I'm not the best at exfoliating and as such my skin can often look dull; the introduction of Sunday Riley U.F.O Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil to my routine has quickly resolved this issue as it gently (and regularly), removes dead skin cells thanks to the presence of salicylic acid.
Sunday Riley U.F.O Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil is a treatment product and as such not something that requires you to apply it daily or even weekly, which sure takes the sting out of the price. The idea is that you only apply if and when needed, at to prevent skin purging you shouldn't apply anymore than three times a week when first trailing the oil. I have found that if I use the U.F.O as and when needed (but always at least once a week), in conjunction with the Sunday Riley Martian Melting Toner daily (full review here), my skin is at its best without the need of medical intervention which is all I have ever really wanted.
