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, moisturizing, evened skin tone
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really enjoy this moisturizer. It has claims to brighten, soften and plump/firm the skin due to the high strength vitamin c - specifically, claims to brighten the skin within seven days of use ( using morning and night), with firming and lifting after 4 weeks. I used this mainly as a night cream when I first recieved and noted the rich texture and how soft my skin felt the next day. When I started using consistently twice a day, I do feel like my skin tone evened out a bit. I'm thinking I need to use longer to see the firming effects - but overall I am happy with my results so far. My only word of caution is that it claims to be a good makeup primer, but I've found that it is somewhat prone to pilling if you aren't careful, try to apply makeup too soon after using, or if you use too much.
Ok, but don't like smell
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have oily skin and this seemed to brighten my skin at little bit, I think. I do not prefer the scent of this product though. I wish it was a little thinner too. It felt thick on, but that may be how it's supposed to feel.
Wanted to love!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Wanted to love! It haven't skin a great glow and was lightly moisturizing, but started to come off in beads when I put my makeup on! Therefore only giving three stars
A new addition to my skin care routine
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was already using a basic brightening moisturizer that was good but didn't wow me or my skin so I was excited to try this product and brand. The little scoop is adorable and practical with helping lower bacteria in the product, the packaging is modern and attractive. The moisturizer is yellow and smells of like turmeric and I was hesitant about it possibly leaving behind a yellow tint however the product absorbs perfectly and leaves my face smooth and hydrated. As someone with sensitive skin, this product didn't cause any irritation or outbreaks. I've already noticed my skin looking healthier and brighter, so I think I will make the switch to this product and keep it in my skin care routine. The brand itself is also a highly reputable and ingredient conscious so that's also appreciated.
Great vitamin c option
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] What a wonderful product to trial. I was always scared to incorporate Vitamin C into my routine, but I was so grateful for this opportunity to and my skin has been responding well. Compared to other Vit C products I have tried, this one actually absorbs super quickly and well without leaving any tingly or itchy feelings on the skin. My breakouts have definitely died down faster and it just gives my skin an instant glow every evening.
