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...

Highly fragrant
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was so excited to try out this Sunday Reilly product because I am a fan of their other products. I also struggle with dark marks, hyper pigmentation, and post inflammatory redness from acne so I was excited to try out this vitamin C brightening cream first off. I want to say that these smell is fantastic for a body lotion however, I tried to not use scented products on my face in this product is heavily fragranced. I don't think it necessarily irritated my skin however someone with sensitive skin I was a little worried about it. I also prefer products to be in a pump packaging because I think dipping my finger fingers into the product is not always the most sanitary. I do like its moisturizing properties though.
Great moisturizer but strong scent!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I want to give this product 5 stars but I'm giving it 4 due to the fragrance. I got used to it the more I used it but it is very strong and when you are putting it on your face, if you are sensitive to strong scents, this might not be for you. But I loved the cream itself. It is bright yellow but once rubbed into your skin does not leave any yellow color or residue. This makes my skin feel so soft. It also allows me to apply my makeup evenly overtop of it. A little goes a long way so I anticipate this container lasting a while. I've been using it for a month now. I have combination dry/oily skin and it has helped with the dry areas without making my face oily. 5 stars for the product itself but the scent is just too overpowering!
Love it!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I can't say enough about this product. I don't enjoy the smell but the product works so well on spots you may want to lighten on your face. It's like a gel and glides on so smooth. I have had multiple Sunday Riley products throughout the last few years. Im a repeat buyer.

Must have
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've never had a vitamin c product work how it's supposed too. This product has changed my skin. The packaging is perfection. It's easy to blend it and not sticky, almost moisturizing. My skin is clearer! 10/10
