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...

Made my skin itch
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was excited to receive a Sunday Riley product but this vitamin c moisturizer didn't work for my skin. I alway do a swatch test before trying a new product. I tried a little on my hand for 3 nights, and unfortunately it made my skin itch and turn red. I would be scared to apply this product to my face. This moisturizer has a heavy floral scent which usually doesn't bother me but this one smells too earthy for my liking.
Gives my face a glow
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It give nice smooth skin with a glow for my combo skin. The container is high-end with a glass jar and a appcater to get product from container to skin. I prefer a pump but happy there is appcater so my hand don't touch product in jar. It is ha nice citrus flower scent but it to strong.
Great Ingredients, So-so Results
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was really excited about this cream. I'm in my mid-40's, and feel like my skin texture isn't as smooth and bright as it used to be. I do also have some minor darker spots/small scars that I was hopeful the vitamin C might help fade a bit-the other active ingredients were ones I often hear recommended for all those things. The packaging was heavyweight and had a luxurious aesthetic, even including a little paddle to apply the cream. The cream was rich, but not greasy, and absorbed easily. I unfortunately did not see any significant changes in my skin, whether in appearance, feel, or texture, but I included both before and after photos, so you be the judge there!
Glowy moisturizer
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really like this moisturizer! The formula is a turmeric colored yellow but it rubs into my skin seamlessly and leaves a subtle yet unmistakeable glow. Feels great on my skin and my skin looks and feels moisturized after application for the rest of the day. It comes with a little scoop / applicator which I love. Didn't cause any reactions on my sensitive skin.
Brighting but not greasy
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is the first time of me using Sunday Riley, and I would love to explore more this specific product. I feel that with consistency and time I will see more results, but for now what ive seen is that my skin feels very soft for long periods and very bright too but in a healthy not greasy way! Which I appreciate because my skin tends to be oily with the hours. It is very easy to apply and my skin absorb it fast too! I didnt notice weird reactions so I am excited to see the longer term effects!
