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...

WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As someone with rosacea I cannot rave about this product enough. The first photo shows the before and the product on its cute little spoon. The second photos shows the redness almost gone! Its quality is amazing and worth the price. No breakouts and has helped with the texture of my skin. I will be buying this when I run out. I love it!
Sooo many benefits!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have been wearing this consistently for weeks and I have seen great results! This brightening Vitamin C Cream has sooo many good ingredients. I have a long skincare routine but some nights if I'm tired, if I just put this moisturizer, it helps sooo much. It has made my skin much more hydrated and moisturized. It kinda has a scent of turmeric. It works really well as makeup primer as well! I love how it truly benefits my skin. I would totally buy again.
Scent Lingers
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The packing of this moisturizer is luxurious and it wells really well under makeup. The product does moisturize really well but it has a scent that lingers and I'm not really a fan of my face moisturizer being scented.
Afterglow is right
I absolutely love this moisturizer after using it night and day! My face is a little red & this has evened it out somehow! My face is normally sensitive to trying new things & I did not breakout at all from this and I do use it night and day!
Luxurious skincare with visible skin improvement
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As a 45 year-old woman, I've come to expect excellence from Sunday, Riley, and their C. E. O. Afterglow moisturizer does not disappoint. It's a high-quality formula that fits perfectly into a mature skin care routine. Thoughtful Design The packaging is beautiful, but I especially love the inclusion of the small spatula. The spatula is a game changer for two reasons: 1. Hygiene: it keeps bacteria from your hands out of the jar. 2. Product Integrity: it prevents the Vitamin C from degrading due to repeat finger contact, ensuring the formula stays potent. Texture and Wear The brands claim of a non-greasy, satin skin finish is 100% accurate. The gel cream texture is incredibly lightweight and absorbs almost instantly. Because it sinks in so quickly without leaving a taxi residue, it provides long lasting moisture that sits beautifully under makeup my foundation looks fresh all day without pilling or sliding. I have very textured skin and while this didn't physically smooth out my skin surface, it worked wonders on my complexion. I noticed significant Aunt brightening and more even skin tone. It has been particularly effective at fading the appearance of my age. Giving me vibrant, healthy skin. If you're looking for a quick absorbing luxurious moisturizer that tackles, hyper pigmentation and provides a perfect canvas for foundation, this is it. It delivers dehydration, invisible radiance, without the weight of traditional heavy cream.
