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 ...

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...

Brightens and hydrates

From Madison i

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Actually brightened up my skin. I have sensitive skin so I'm always hesitant to try a vitamin c moisturizer but I had no issues with this one. The scent is a very light citrus and the moisturizer is thick but not greasy. It is obviously a bright orange so it did leave an orange tint on my fair skin but it wasn't too noticeable. I used it consistently for 2 weeks and noticed some spots did lighten and it really leaves a good glow. Makes a great base to wear under makeup or on its own. It absorbs quickly but my skin still feels soft and hydrated all day.

Glowy and hydrating

Submitted 7 months ago

I recently had the chance to try the C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Moisturizer for free in exchange for my honest review, and I was genuinely impressed. The packaging immediately caught my eye. It's sleek, vibrant, and radiates a sunny energy that feels uplifting on my vanity. The texture of the moisturizer is rich yet lightweight, absorbing quickly into the skin without any greasy residue or pore-clogging heaviness. I will say, using too much will rub off in chunks. After application, my skin looks healthy and radiant, giving an instant glow. The formula, packed with vitamin C and other nourishing ingredients, helps brighten and hydrate, which I've noticed with consistent use. A little product goes a long way, which makes it a great value for the quality. Overall, if you're looking for a moisturizer that delivers a luminous finish while supporting long-term skin health, this one definitely lives up to its name.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I received Sunday Riley's C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Cream for free in exchange for my honest feedback. I've been a fan of Sunday Riley for years, so I was genuinely excited to finally try their vitamin C cream-and it did not disappoint. First off, the texture is everything! It's a lightweight gel-cream that feels so refreshing during application, and it absorbs beautifully into my skin. After a few weeks of consistent use, I've definitely noticed my complexion looking brighter and more radiant, which tells me it's doing its job. My skin also feels incredibly hydrated. This vitamin C moisturizer really delivers when it comes to nourishment, and my skin just drinks it up. That said, I haven't reached that perfectly even skin tone just yet, but I'm hopeful that with continued use in the morning and evening, I'll keep seeing improvements. The only downside for me is that it tends to pill, both on my pillow overnight and under makeup-which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. Overall-a glow-boosting staple with only a few minor flaws.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I like the results I have had from using Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Moisturizer. It has made my skin look healthier and a bit brighter. My skin feels hydrated and soft after using it. It has not caused any irritation or breakouts. It is easy to apply and absorbs into my skin very well. It is comfortable on my skin and does not feel sticky or heavy. It is difficult to find a moisturizer that doesn't make my skin break out so I'm very happy to have the chance to try this one as it has worked great for my skin.

This is a great moisturizer for someone with a bit of dryer skin that needs color correction. It's thick but not sticky and bright orange. Once you apply it the color blends into your skin and it creates this very nice glow. I used it for a bit and didn't see much of a difference so perhaps if I keep using it I'll see more significant results. Only complaint is it's a little too thick for my taste for a day moisturizer and it gives too nice of a glow for it to be only used in the night. It has a orangey herbal scent that I don't mind too much as it goes away. Overall not bad just needs to be used consistently.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
