Sunday Riley Skincare routine HELP!!

I have recently purchased the Sunday Riley U.F.O and the power couple kit which included the Luna Sleeping oil. I am so lost as to which order to apply them in. For my nightime routine I currently first apply my rose toner ( to a clean face of course), then the U.F.O oil, Luna Sleeping oil, moisturiser, and lastly the Good Genes. I don't use any of the Sunday Riley products in my morning routine. How do ya'll use these products and in what order?! Oh and my skin is oily in the t zone and normal everywhere else.

I use Sunday Riley also. To "even out" my routine, I use the U.F.O. Oil (salicylic) and Luna Oil (retinol) at night. I do so by starting with the U.F.O., wait 5 mins, then apply the Luna. I was told not to use the U.F.O. (salicylic) with Good Genes (lactic) because it will burn my skin. Alternatively, in the day, I use Good Genes as a primer for that RADIANCE under my makeup. I also use C.E.O. with it Good Genes on my dry days.

Thanks for the advice! Since you are using the GG as a primer are you putting on moisturizer/ sunscreen before or after you apply GG?

Re: Sunday Riley Skincare routine HELP!!

That's a LOT of chemical exfoliation in one routine! And if you aren't used to all of those ingredients you can very easily over-exfoliate your skin. Because they are so strong, many people need to start off slowly by only using retinol products like Luna, AHA products like GG, and BHA products like UFO maybe twice a week in order to build up tolerance. Now if your skin can handle it all, go for it! Just keep an eye out for negative reactions. Personally, I'd recommend moving the UFO to your morning routine and using the GG and Luna at night, or better yet, alternate nights with UFO one night and GG/Luna the following. Also the GG should really come before your moisturizer. And with all of those products, make sure you are wearing sunscreen daily! 

Thank you so much for the help!!!
