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...

Glowy Results
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Everything about this is luxurious - from the packaging to the product itself. In just over a week my skin genuinely appeared to have a glow to it. I only wish it smelled a little bit better.
Instant Glow
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This afterglow brightening cream looks and smells expensive! The bright yellow tint kind of scared me at first, but it's extremely hydrating and gives you an instant glow. Can't wait to keep using it and see the overall effects.
So far so good
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I know Sunday Riley makes really good products so I have high hopes for this. I haven't been using it long enough to see any results yet. But, I can say it isn't making me break out, doesn't leave any feeling on my face, and doesn't ball up when applying sunblock or foundation over it. So, it is looking very promising! I like the smell better before applying, it turns into very strong raw floral scent after rubbing in but thankfully that dissipates quickly. I like to use this in the morning after showering before having any amount of sun exposure. Makes me feel better to know I'm fighting free radicals! I look forward to seeing results after long term use.
Like Not Love
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This was an interesting moisturizer, I feel like I've had this before, but it's definitely not the same. The yellow color is quite vibrant and I feel like it leaves a little bit of a cast on my very pale skin. I only use this at night, so it didn't impact my make up at all. I do really like the formula, Sunday. Riley has great formulas in my opinion. I was expecting it to smell citrusy, but it's more of a vetiver type of a scent. Overall, it's nice, but won't be a purchase for me.
I love it
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a great product. I really like how soft it made my skin and brightened it. The packaging makes it feel really boujee. I will purchase this product for later use!
