Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Cream Face Moisturizer

I LOVE this! My skin feels great and I love the clean scent! It’s a little on the pricey side, but a little goes a long way. Great luxury product.

The Reality: I’m 54 and menopause has been making my skin look so dull and dry lately. I usually stick to brands like Tatcha or Clarins because I’m picky, but I decided to try this Sunday Riley Afterglow to see if it lived up to the hype. ​The Results: It really does give that "dewy, young" look I’ve been missing. It’s a gel-cream texture, so it doesn't feel heavy or greasy, but it actually keeps the dryness away all day. My skin just looks alive again. ​Why I like it: ​The Glow: It’s instant. It makes me look rested even when I'm tired. ​The Makeup Test: It doesn't ball up or ruin my foundation. ​The Feel: Smells like fresh oranges and feels cooling. ​If you’re struggling with that "flat" look that happens with age, this is a total game-changer. Definitely keeping this in my routine.

The Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow Vitamin C Moisturizer is amazing! It has a rich yet lightweight texture that absorbs quickly, leaving my skin hydrated and glowing without feeling greasy. The brightening effect is noticeable within days—my complexion looks more even and radiant. I also love the subtle citrus scent; it feels refreshing but not overpowering. It layers well under makeup and works beautifully as part of my morning skincare routine. Though it’s a bit pricey, the results make it worth every penny. Highly recommend for anyone looking to boost their skin’s glow and hydration!

Been using this in the morning for years. Really helps with redness and uneven skin tone.

I absolutely love this moisturizer. It’s just a bit too small and I’m in need of a larger size.

It hydrates the skin making wrinkles disappear. It leaves a glow. Finally found a moisturizer that works for me.

I use a vitamin c facial wash and put vitamin c drops on a clean dry face. I let that soak in and when dry apply the Sunday Riley vitamin c glowing moisturizer. My face feels amazing. Completely hydrated and not oily. My face literally glows I kid you not. My foundation goes on like silk and my face is hydrated all day and make up stays on all day. One of my favorite products and I have tooooo many. I’m 56 years old so I am all about skin care and properly prepping the face for makeup application. I have other Sunday Riley products that I love too. Worth the investment. Definitely will be continuing to buy!

At first I loved this cream and would use it every night. I also use Retin A at night. I had to stop using this cream tho as my skin started getting very dry and cracked and uncomfortable. It was so bad I looked like Mrs. Frankenstein on crack. Nothing helped—I slathered on creams and drank tons of water and it stayed the same. I quickly talked to the pharmacist where I get my Retin A who said both products are too much esp since vitamin C creams are strong and can cause severe drying if your sensitive. He said both products were too much for my skin and too drying so just use less Retin A and fewer days or do the same w this cream not both at the same time. As soon as I stopped using this my skin went back to how it originally was-kinda dry but not so severely. If I went back to this I would probably only use it 1 or 2 x a week maybe.. I ended up stopping this cream completely and never went back as Retin A works so much better alone but I still had dry skin from aging skin. Well I finally took the dermatologist’s advice and used night cream and eye cream from cerave. I use the night cream morning and night and use spf during the day especially because I use retinol A. That was a game changer. My skin has never looked more hydrated all the time and youthful and the glow! Also In just one day the cerave night cream healed the extremely crazy dry Frankenstein skin this C creamed caused! Um yea no thank you! Never again. I also wasted a lot of money not being able to return this product!
