Bright, healthy skin!
This is such a beautiful moisturizer! It was gifted to me by Sunday Riley. I loved it all, from the scent to the color and the lovely creamy texture. I stopped using it for a while because I microbladed my brows and I couldn't wet them so I stopped doing a proper skincare routine for a few days and ...

Brightening
This C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C cream has a beautiful bright yellow color and lightweight texture. I've been using this cream for almost a week, but I didn't notice any improvement in hydration, while I noticed the brighter skin tone. Giving it 3 stars, because, while it is a nice face c...

Afterglow is right
I absolutely love this moisturizer after using it night and day! My face is a little red & this has evened it out somehow! My face is normally sensitive to trying new things & I did not breakout at all from this and I do use it night and day!
Luxurious skincare with visible skin improvement
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As a 45 year-old woman, I've come to expect excellence from Sunday, Riley, and their C. E. O. Afterglow moisturizer does not disappoint. It's a high-quality formula that fits perfectly into a mature skin care routine. Thoughtful Design The packaging is beautiful, but I especially love the inclusion of the small spatula. The spatula is a game changer for two reasons: 1. Hygiene: it keeps bacteria from your hands out of the jar. 2. Product Integrity: it prevents the Vitamin C from degrading due to repeat finger contact, ensuring the formula stays potent. Texture and Wear The brands claim of a non-greasy, satin skin finish is 100% accurate. The gel cream texture is incredibly lightweight and absorbs almost instantly. Because it sinks in so quickly without leaving a taxi residue, it provides long lasting moisture that sits beautifully under makeup my foundation looks fresh all day without pilling or sliding. I have very textured skin and while this didn't physically smooth out my skin surface, it worked wonders on my complexion. I noticed significant Aunt brightening and more even skin tone. It has been particularly effective at fading the appearance of my age. Giving me vibrant, healthy skin. If you're looking for a quick absorbing luxurious moisturizer that tackles, hyper pigmentation and provides a perfect canvas for foundation, this is it. It delivers dehydration, invisible radiance, without the weight of traditional heavy cream.

I like it
I like this product. The packaging was super luxe and gorgeous. The vitamin c smell and scent of this product is strong and a bit overwhelming, and usually scent doesn't bother me. It's too soon to see any difference.
Pills a lot
This product I had high hopes for but it unfortunately was not for me. This cream pills a lot and if you're planning to use it under makeup you should probably look for another product. The fragrance is pretty strong but not off putting.

Real results
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is my first experience with Sunday Riley, though my daughter uses these products. I can officially say that I am now a fan as well. This vitamin c moisturizer is lightweight, hydrating, not sticky, and absorbs well. And after a couple of weeks I have seen real results. My mature skin looks smoother and brighter and more alive. Very happy with this product and recommend it.
