Most Helpful Positive Review Love this cream for my night routine I received this in one of my summer Ipsy boxes. I was skeptical at first because it does seem rather thick and I was surprised it was a face cream. But I've been using this cream for a solid month now and I'm very impressed with the results. I don't use it during the day because the consistency is too thick and kind of greasy for me during the day. Living in Florida with high humidity, I don't need an extra layer of heavy moisturizing cream. But I use it 3/4 times a night and I have been loving the outcome. I don't have acne prone skin so I didn't experience any flare ups with the addition to my night time skin routine. I do however suffer from hyperpigmentation when I do get the occasional pimple and this has really helped to brighten and even out my skin tone. I will say it is very thick and kind of feels like Vaseline, but I don't mind having that feeling for bed. But I don't think I could feel comfortable during the day with such a heavy thick cream on my face.
Most Helpful Critical Review It pills! Deal breaker for daytime use. I bought a full size of this product and tried multiple times to see if I am doing something wrong ... But it just never works for my skin. It just pills, pills and pills. It pills on its own, it pills over any serum, foundation, anything. It ruins my base makeup and that is a huge deal breaker for me. It is also quite greasy and never seems to get absorbed. On top of that, I haven't really noticed my skin getting brighter or smoother. I'm definitely not going to repurchase.

Amazing 5
Sweetmarmar from North Carolina
This is by far the best moisturizer I have ever used! It is thick and leaves my skin very well hydrated. The smell is also amazing! I am so far loving all of the Sunday Riley products I have tried. I pair this daily with the C.E.0 serum in the morning and I use the Luna at night.
I'm not a big review righter usually but..... 5
ShellyB from Memphis, TN
I'm not usually a big review righter unless it's something I have a string opinion on, either bad or good. This is one of those cases where I absolutely loved it. I received this in my boxycharm box. When I first tried I thought it wasn't for me. It's a heavier moisturizer and usually that doesn't work well on my combo skin. I tried it once and put it to the side. I ran out of my normal moisturizer and started using this until my normal one came in. I am so glad I did! I started using it at night and in the morning. My skin feels like velvet now. It's so soft to the touch, I honestly have to make myself not touch my face because I'm just amazed at how it feels. I also thought it was going to be too thick to wear under my makeup, wrong again. It preps my makeup beautifully and my makeup last so much longer now. I My face looks healthy now. It has the glow of a 20yr old. If you can't tell by now, I am a huge fan. I may go as far as to call myself a groupie. I haven't went back to my old moisturizer. It's just sitting on my vanity looking sad now. I am almost out of this now but I won't make the mistake of waiting too long to order this time.

Eze from Texas
Please take my advice and skip this one. I've never had such a bad reaction and I have tried everything. Burned my face after 2 uses. My eyes swole shut and it's been 2 days and I'm still itch and red. I'm really unhappy about it.

Dewy all day 4
Brooke from In
I have extremely dry skin! This works great for me it's thick enough to feel like it's actually coating my skin and leaves me with a nice glow all day long. Wouldn't recommend for oily skinned people.
Smells like oranges very thick 1
Cate from Atlanta
Not the best unless you have extremely dry non sensitive skin. Very thick and made me break out. The smell is strong but it is oranges so unless you hate the smell of oranges I don't think you will be bothered too much, but like you will smell like oranges for a good while after use.
Burns 1
Crystal from Texas
This burns my skin, tried more than once with the same result every time. Also caused breakouts, which is something rare for me. Don't recommend.
I've been on this for over two years, I'm shocked... 5
Cool Cat from Tempe, Arizona
I use this after my serums, oils, and eye creams right before my sunscreen. My skin is bright, smooth, and hydrated day and night. I'm truly so happy I found this combo that worked for me. The only thing is it is not vegan/clean but the rest of my skincare pretty much is. LOVE THIS STUFF!
Love this product 5

This moisturizer has brightened my skin and reduced my wrinkles not to mention how soft it has made my skin.

Surprised by the results 5
Beach baby from Chicago
I got the $22 size as a free gift with purchase. I have almost used the jar up and I am so amazed by the results. My skin is glowing and so hydrated. Personally I don't mind the smell and actually enjoy it. Noticed a difference when I stopped using it. Will repurchase the smaller one again before committing to the big size
love love love 5
Bst1201 from sc
I love this cream. It smells amazing, is a great texture and really sinks into my skin. I love that its vitamin c packed. I usually put it on at night with a few drop of their sleeping oil. I dont wake up feeling dry. It's like facial without the work!
This product works and it smells amazing 5

Great product.. I've used for 3 weeks and can tell a big difference in my skin appearance.. well worth the money
Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil 2
JLH from WA
I received this via BoxyCharm and was thrilled to try something from Sunday Riley. I have used it for about 2 weeks and like how it makes my skin feel and look. It's a very rich cream so I've been using it at night as a "sleeping mask" of sorts. It does not seem to clog my pores or make me break out and I enjoy the light scent of oranges. I think it would be a great product save for the hydrogenated veggie oil. After reading reviews, I'm disappointed to find that HVO is an ingredient and one that's close to the top of the list. HVO is well-known to be bad for your health because of trans fats. I don't want it in my food and I certainly don't want it on my skin. Sadly, I'm going to stop using it.
Not great for me 2
LP from TX
I received a sample of this product as a gift with purchase, and I was excited to try it since I'd heard good things about sunday riley products. Since it contains a stabilized vitamin C I wanted to try it out for daytime use; however, I strongly disliked the texture, particularly for daytime. It was too greasy, and after it dried down, it was prone to pilling, even without a sunscreen on top. I was not a fan of the orange scent, and I think this product made me more breakout-prone. It might be ok for someone else, but this was definitely not the product for me (especially at the price point). I'd rather just use my basic drugstore moisturizer -- good texture, absorbs way better, and is a much lower price
No breakouts 5
Happycamper from NC
Ive tried a variety of moisturizers over the past 15 years and they ALL break me out until i tried the CEO cream. It is very moisturizing without the breakouts. Saving grace for my aging skin.
Visible Effects! 5
Teeps from Northern Virginia
Purchased this product to start addressing some fine lines around my eyes and mouth that I started seeing now that I'm in my 30s. Loved it. This is my second purchase. It hydrates my skin and those fine lines are gone. Has a light orange/citrus scent. This is not "anti-aging" or anything, but I feel like it's a great prevention tool. If you lay it on too thick, it feels heavy. So, I started using just a little, maybe a dime-sized amount for both my face and neck. It spreads more easily on just-washed, slightly damp skin. I use it as a night cream and wake up looking completely refreshed.
On my 3td jar! 5
KD from Palm Springs, CA
Use am & pm. My face drinks this up but does not feel greasy. My 26 yr daughter tried it & loved it too. A little goes a long way so it lasts a while. Gorgeous smell! On my 3rd jar!!!
no thank you 2
Crook from TEXAS
I like the way this stuff smells (like oranges) but it made me break out. I have extremely oily skin, and i typically have a pimple or two, but i have like 10 right now. and oddly enough it made me break out around my hairline and my lip line. i also got the tiniest white heads, which are typical for my type of acne. Not worth the money.
Works for me 5
Heather R from Texas
Usually vitamin c products break me out, but I gave this a try and my skin has been clearing up and looking smoother than ever! It does smell like oranges, and is a thick moisturizer, but I don't think it's greasy at all like others say. I do have very dry skin though, so my skin just soaks everything up. I have a lot of acne right now, and it's been making it look way better, I'm so happy. A little goes a long way, so to me at least, it's worth the price.
Always get a tester or travel size first, especially with vitamin A or C products. A lot of people can be sensitive to them, and it can cause breakouts or tingling if you are. I hope that helps!
sooo greasy 2
kay from ca
greasiest moisturizer I have ever used. will not repurchase or recommend.
Just okay. 2
Ayesha from New York
Hydration is good but that's all. Similar to other hydrating creams? If you're going to spend $65 might as well get the tatcha water cream. The ingredients are not super good porous skin. I'll stick to my tatcha. Also, terrible smell. Smells like car tires.🤮
Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil 1
JP from Va
Why would they use hydrogenated vegetable oil?! It's one of the worst pore clogging ingredients out there! Unless you have super dry skin that NEVER gets acne, this product is a bust. Don't believe the fake reviews!
