GOOD GENES | All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment

This cult skincare fave needs no introduction. It's formulated with highly potent, purified grade lactic acid, which immediately exfoliates dull, pore-clogging dead skin cells, unveiling smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin. It also visibly plumps your fine lines, and over continued use, you'll find that the stubborn hyperpigmentation you struggle with and other visible signs of ageing for a radiant, healthier-looking complexion.

AUTOCORRECT | Brightening and De-Puffing Eye Contour Cream

With its light-reflecting particles, this eye contour cream gives an illuminated effect to perk up even the most tired of eyes (aren't we all?). It's not just smoke and mirrors, however. Formulated with horse chestnut flower and caffeine, the cream tightens and wake up your exhausted peepers, while its acmella oleracea extract and cocoa and shea butter smooth over fine lines and instantly plumps and hydrates skin. Lutein also protects your fragile eye area from harmful effects of blue light pollution that city-dwellers are constantly exposed to.

C.E.O. | Vitamin C Rapid Flash Brightening Serum

Infused with 15% vitamin C (higher than industry average), this serum rapidly brightens your skin and boosts radiance, whilst fighting dark spots and pigmentation. THD ascorbate - i.e. Vitamin C in its superior form - is both highly stable and oil-soluble, which means it'll be rapidly absorbed into the skin, delivering all its skin-loving benefits. It's also formulated with a saccharide isomerate extract, which diminishes the appearance of pores in your skin. Fans of this serum swear by how it firms, plumps and even their complexion - give it a go and see it for yourself.

LUNA | Sleeping Night Oil

Apply a layer of this miracle oil overnight as you sleep, and let it work its magic through the night and have you waking up more visibly youthful, luminous and even-looking skin in the morning. It's not magic, of course, that drives its potency: this retinol-infused oil reduces the appearance of pores and wrinkles, while fighting signs of premature aging like fine lines, uneven texture, age spots, dryness and dullness. Rich with skin-soothing blue tansy and German chamomile essential oils, it also calms sensitive and red skin and is, quite frankly, the perfect magical sleeping oil.

TIDAL | Brightening Enzyme Water Cream

Featuring two forms of hyaluronic acid and tamarind extract, this water-drenched cream leaves your skin youthfully plumped and hydrated. Its papaya enzyme smooths and exfoliates, while the alpha arbutin visibly brightens the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Get this: Tidal is proven to boost hydration by up to 68% within as little as 15 minutes, delivering continuous 24/7 moisture to your skin.

Just take our money already.

Let’s face it: we’re all a little obsessed with Sunday Riley.

Driving the hype surrounding the brand is its ability to promise visible immediate and long-term results, using just good ol’ science.

Perhaps one of its biggest selling points is how she manages to make traditionally intimidating sounding clinical ingredients, like Retinol and highly-stable Vitamin Cs, so – well – appealing.

Her highly-raved Good Genes (an all-in-one lactic acid treatment), for one, sloughs away skin-dulling, pore-clogging dead skin cells for a fresh lease of skin that feels smoother, younger and more radiant than before. And then you have Luna, her retinol-infused overnight sleeping oil, which works its magic on your skin as you sleep, leaving you to wake up with visibly luminous skin in the morning.

We admit: her prices are steep – but for good reason. Sunday Riley, the brand formulator herself, is a cosmetic chemist and product formulater who beyond everything impresses upon the effectiveness of product formulations.

We can wax lyrics about everything, from its potent formula to the refreshing creative concepts behind each product. Check out her bestselling products in the gallery above!

Now that she’s landed on our shores, just take all our money already.

Sunday Riley is now available in all Sephora Singapore stores.
