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...

Keeps Skin More Radiant & Youthful Looking Than Ever Before!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Oooh la la!!! That was my very first impression of this cream after using it for the first time. And in the days and weeks that followed, I continued to fall in love with this product. I have never used a cream that makes my face look as radiant and glowing! The gel texture absorbs into my skin quickly and easily and leaves my skin feeling ultra nourished. Since using this cream, my face has a brighter complexion, appears more youthful and feels healthier, smoother and softer. This product also has a wonderful fresh scent that is very attractive and adds an additional element of excitement each time I use it. I'm so excited to have found this powerhouse cream that includes a highly concentrated Vitamin C, antioxidants, essential oils, aloe and more. As an added bonus, this cream is also B Corp certified, cruelty free and made in a sustainable way so it is a cream that I feel proud to use.
Works well
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I liked the amount of thickness in this moisturizer. It was not heavy and blended in well. Took care of any extra dry spots and left my skin feeling moisturized and healthy. I didn't notice any plumping but that's not to say there wasn't. I would purchase again.
The scent not my favorite
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really liked the packaging of the C.E.O Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Gel Cream from Sunday Riley. The bar is very pretty and the box is also nicely designed. The texture absorbs well into the skin and feels lightweight, wich I liked. However, the scent and the color were not my favorite. Overall, I did enjoy how well it sinks into the skin and how comfortable it feels after applying.
Citrus heaven - will be buying more!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Let's start with the smell: wow. Citrus, florals that just exudes Spring and I'm here for it. My faces instantly brightened up after using it for the first time and feels moisturizing and no longer dry. I'm very excited to see the results after using it for at least a week (hence the 4 star rating) because it's supposed to brighten and plump the skin. Then there's the packaging: money was no issue when designing. The box even lifts up from the bottom which was another level IMO. Then it comes with a nice heavy wand applicator. It just felt luxurious and I didn't have to leave my room. I honestly might put it on again before bed because that's how amazing it smelled and felt!🍊💐🙌🏽
Amazing
I'm super sensitive to many vitamin c creams- but this one did not cause my eyes to burn, or cause irritation of my skin. I'm using it while actively trying to fade dark spots with other products. I do see some results so far.
