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...

My new favorite nightly skincare routine
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This moisturizer is phenomenal! I am completely blown away by the results and think I have just found my new créme de la créme - literally. I can't remember the last time I used a face moisturizer that made me feel beautiful, like actually visibly more beautiful and radiant. Maybe it's the orange blossom. A similar product sold by a much more expensive brand has orange blossom in it, but CEO Afterglow by Sunday Riley comes at half the price. I knew as soon as I took this jar out of the high-quality packaging box that I was in for a treat. It comes in a vibrant orange and golden ombre jar. And in the lid of that jar is an application spoon, which keeps application clean and germ-free (providing that shows the company truly cares). The moisturizer is cool to the touch and smells incredible - it's bright any joyful and citrusy. It feels so good to apply. This has become my favorite nightly ritual. I apply it just before bed, and the fragrance provides a luxurious nightcap. I wake up every morning with bright, glowing skin!
Smells earthy
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I got this product in exchange for my honest review. Honestly, I will never spend my money on a moisturizer that is dark yellow in color. Since this product has Vitamin C in it and has a brightening effect, I believe it should be marketed as a turmeric cream which is also yellow in color and has a brightening effect. I've been using it for more than a month and I'm done with half of the jar. I like the earthy smell of the moisturizer. I use it mostly at night and use sunscreen during the day. Overall, a good cream but won't buy it.
More smooth skin texture after using
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Afterglow brightening vitamin c moisturizer does exactly that, it gives you a afterglow, more brightening skin ton and moisturizes. I have no irritation using this product. My skin felt amazing after each use. As you can see in the pictures my overall skin looks more smooth after using.
Pilled
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This one was too heavy for me, it pilled on my skin. It helped lighten dark spots a bit. The scent was strong but didn't last long (thankfully). It smells nice, like oranges and flowers, but would be overwhelming on my face all day.
Great
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The texture of the gel is cool and moisturizing! It absorbs well in the skin and leaves the skin looking slightly brighter. The scent is slightly stronger with both turmeric and orange. Seems to work with my rosacea prone skin.
