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...

Good but drying on me
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I liked the way my skin felt for the just part after using this cream, but it was very drying and I noticed after using it a few times my skin started to flake. The color is different as it's a bright yellow and the scent is unique, but not bad.
I didn't breakout!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I loved the scent of this product and it wasn't too overpowering. I was nervous about trying this product since I have acne prone skin, but I haven't had any breakouts from this product. I loved the packaging and thought it felt luxurious. The only complaint I have is that it isn't as moisturizing as I thought it would be. I had to apply a few times before I felt truly moisturized. I do like the spatula it comes with to apply it with. The cream isn't super thick which I like. A super thick cream feels heavy and oily. Overall, I do like this product and feel like my face did brighten. I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review.




Really nice scent
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I'm really happy with this product. After using it consistently for a few weeks, I do feel like it has made subtle improvements to my skin. It has a really nice scent and layers well with my other products and under makeup.

All the Vitamin C
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Excited to share my review for the C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Moisturizer that I received in exchange for it First of all, it's quite visible from my before & after photos ,my skin is brighter, smoother & my dark spots and redness are basically non existent. The cute applicator makes dispensing the product a breeze, the smell is a bit strong but disappears after applying it and dried, it's smooth and not sticky and makes a great base for applying your makeup, giving you a subtle glow. I'm excited to recommend his product to all. Thank you #influenster @influenster & #Sunday Riley @Sunday Riley
