But, for some reason, I have issues with it clogging my pores, and I have to be honest about that. Because if it was up to this product's brightening and radiance-boosting power alone, I would literally give it 10 stars. Since the star and most strategic ingredient is sulfur, I realize this is just par for the course and part of the formula's efficacy, but even after I wash it off, the smell of sulfur lingers on my face, and it's just not the most pleasant olfactory experience to go to sleep with at night." - Erin. (Breakouts are such a vicious cycle, ugh.) My one issue with this mask, however, is the smell. I definitely notice that it helps dry out and banish my existing blemishes faster than when I forget to use it, and I'm convinced it slows the formation of new ones. And whenever I'm dealing with a frustrating deluge of zits, this mask is one of my favorite antidotes in said stash.

"I don't know about you, but I have a separate stash of products for whenever my skin decides to be on especially bad behavior. It's not the strongest dose of BHA in the world, so it takes a couple nights to really produce results, but damn, when it does, my skin comes out so beautifully clear and glowy." - Amanda. To my delight, the product sinks in quickly, and its gentle 1.5% salicylic acid visibly works to decongest the little clogged pores I get around my nose and chin. I was so skeptical of this exotic green elixir-the slippery texture and sweet scent seem like something that would break you out rather than clear you up. "A delicious, fast-absorbing oil that smells like a Jolly Rancher and also helps clear breakouts and clogged pores? Seems impossible. The soothing gel to foam formula also really delivers on that super-satisfying clean feeling you want from a face wash but without stripping your skin of necessary hydration." - Erin. It has great ingredients that play well with all skin types. It never irritates my sensitive skin or exacerbates any breakouts I have. That said, I've been impressed with this gentle but effective cleanser ever since it released last year. Since cleansers are the most fleeting part of our skincare routines, I just can't warrant spending more than $20 tops on something I'm washing off after 10 seconds.

"Straight up, the only reason I'm not giving this cleanser a full five-star rating is the price. Keep scrolling for our in-depth beauty editor reviews of Sunday Riley's Good Genes serum, C.E.O serum, Saturn mask, Luna oil, and more. For context, Erin has sensitive acneic skin, and I'm a true combo skin type (I've got both congested pores and dryness to navigate).
So we put 10 of its best sellers to the test. My fellow Who What Wear Beauty editor Erin Jahns and I were skeptical (as we always are of skincare brands whose products have unabashed cult followings and high price tags).
But are Sunday Riley's buzzy moisturizers, serums, and oils (which aren't exactly cheap, mind you) worth all the attention and dough? Consistently a Sephora best seller, the results-driven luxury line is always generating hype and flying off shelves. Smartly crafted formulas that are clinically backed, nontoxic ingredients, beautiful graphic packaging, and clever brand names are just a few of the qualities that have earned skincare brand Sunday Riley its cult status.
