![]() ![]() This hydration isn’t just a quick fix either-the brand claims your skin will retain moisture for over 24 hours after using this product. Sunday Riley clinically tested the Tidal Water Cream with a corneometer (which measures even the slightest change in skin hydration) and found a 68% increase in skin moisture in merely 15 minutes. The Science: Clinically-tested by the brand Other rockstar ingredients include glycerin, turmeric root extract, and horse chestnut seed extract. Sunday Riley's Tidal Water Cream contains a multitude of quality ingredients: hyaluronic acid, which replenishes cell moisture alpha-arbutin, a gentle relative of hydroquinone that evens skin tone and prevents dark spots papain (papaya enzymes), which exfoliates and smooths skin and tamarind extract, which also improves skin hydration. I’d consider the scent a delight, although I know some people prefer their skincare to be completely unscented. The Tidal Water Cream had a very light, clean scent. To preface, Sunday Riley products contain no synthetic fragrances, so any scent comes from the ingredients themselves. Sweep it on using the tiny (yet surprisingly heavyweight) spatula that comes in the box. It also instantly cools and refreshes upon application, making it ideal in the summer months. So far, things are looking promising! Maybe just maybe, Good Genes might make it’s way into my nightly skincare routine permanently.Sunday Riley's Tidal Water Cream has a non-sticky, jelly-like texture that feels lightweight upon application. I’m going to continue to use both and let you know how I’m feeling after I complete the set. Again, my skin is soft, smooth, and plush and again, my foundation applied beautifully. I used it again last night and this morning I’m pretty happy to say that my skin appears a bit brighter and a little less dull. Everything went on so much smoother and my foundation looked amazingly soft and even. But I did notice my makeup looked freaking awesome that day. My skin had a certain plush softness about it which I was loving! Again, no visible results. You can’t expect a miracle on your first time out of the gate right? The next night I used the duo again and I woke up the morning with even more smoother, softer, and even plumper skin. My face felt smoother, softer, and even plumper but not brighter or visibly younger. I thought I’d wake up and my face would glow. My first night using both Good Genes and Luna was disappointing. I don’t really use AHA or chemical exfoliaters, I actually prefer physical ones but there are many benefits to using a chemical one but the main one is the fact that I never feel dry or tight after using a chemical formula versus a physical exfoliating scrub that tends to leave me smooth but dry. It leaves my skin very, very slick which makes me happy I decided to use it in the evening. It’s a runnier cream that absorbs easily into skin. Good Genes can be used in the morning and the evening but I decided to add it to my night routine only. Since it comes with the set I decided to skip on Juno for now. Luna seems fitting for people with sensitive skin types and visible pores versus someone like myself who has drier skin and no visible pores nor blemishes. I wanted to indulge in Juno Hydroactive Cellular Face Oil. ![]() Luna Sleeping Night Oil wasn’t my oil of choice from Sunday Riley. I thought they’d be a lot smaller but I have enough here to get me through at least a month to two months using the Good Genes nightly and the oil is very potent and two to three drops was all I needed which means that’ll last even longer. The set includes 0.5 oz of each product and each was actually a generous size. This is actually a great deal if you aren’t wanting to spend $105 to $158 for a bottle of Good Genes. ![]() Here’s what happened three days after I started using the Sunday Riley Power Couple Duo. The reason I wanted to share my thoughts is because this is a Holiday set! So, by the time I actually test the skincare out long enough to see any results the set will likely be gone from Sephora’s shelves. I got it Monday and I’ve been using it for three nights (not in the day though) and I thought I’d share my initials thoughts on the set and maybe give you a mini review of sorts. Sunday Riley Power Couple Duo Total Transformation Kit ($85) is a new, limited edition gift set that comes with Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment and Luna Sleeping Night Oil. ![]()
