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...

Rich brightening cream
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Sunday Riley C.E.O. afterglow brightening vitamin c moisturizer is a rich brightening cream that really seems to work! Each time I have chosen to wear this cream, people have made comments about how healthy my skin looks! I highly suspect there is a correlation! The color is VERY bright yellow which was surprising to me, but it blends well into the skin. The smell was initially somewhat odd as it is very herbal in nature, but I have grown to enjoy it, and the smell goes away once on the skin and is really not noticeable (as someone sensitive to scents). I am very impressed with this cream and would recommend it to others!
High quality!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] From the days that I've been using this product I've noticed that my skin is brighter and flawless. I like that the texture is creamy and cool to the skin.

Glowy skin... but watch your clothes
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Brightens and hydrates beautifully! This cream leaves my skin glowing with a soft, non greasy finish. It feels lightweight but still moisturizing, and my complexion looks more radiant and even. I also enjoy the light citrus scent. One downside, when I apply it on my neck, it can stains clothes and the marks are hard to remove, so be careful.

Instant glow in a jar!!!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow really delivers exactly what it promises- radiant, hydrated skin with a healthy lit from within glow. The Vitamin C rich formula feels lightweight but deeply nourishing, and it layers beautifully underneath makeup without feeling greasy. After consistent use my skin lookskin looks smoother, brighter and more even. Perfect for anyone looking for that effortless glow without heavy products. Just love it.


Holy hydration!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This vitamin C rich hydration cream has done wonders for my skin! After a month of consistent use, I have noticeably brighter skin! My dark spots, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation has seriously improved so drastically! It absorbs so nicely into your skin, it doesn't just sit on top like a lot of moisturizers. I love the dark yellowy/orangey color, it's gorgeous and I know it does wonders for my skin! It is so rich yet it's so lightweight. This is seriously the best preventative moisturizer on the market! And at the same time- it totally gets rid of fine lines/sun damage. I will keep purchasing this miracle moisturizer over and over again!
