Get Your Glow on With Sunday Riley C.E.O. AFTERGLOW

I’m all about glowing skin. From skin care to makeup, I want products that leave my skin with a natural, healthy glow. Glowing skin means impeccable skin care. So, I cleanse morning and night,  treat my skin with an appropriate serum and I use a bomb MOISTURIZER. Of course, sunscreen is a must.

I was recently gifted Sunday Riley C.E.O. AFTERGLOW Brightening Vitamin C Gel Cream. This isn’t my first go-round with this brightening cream, and I’m happy to say it’s still a must-have for me.

 Hydrating Gel-Cream Moisturizer that Drenches the Skin in Moisture
Sunday Riley C.E.O. AFTERGLOW skin care review

Say goodbye to dry, dehydrated skin and hello to a radiant, even-toned complexion with C.E.O. Afterglow, a luxurious gel-cream moisturizer that provides long-lasting hydration and brightening benefits. Formulated with high-strength Vitamin C (THD Ascorbate), this advanced formula drenches the skin in moisture, delivering 24 hours of continuous hydration and visibly brightening the skin in just 7 days.

With its luminous and plumping gel-cream texture, C.E.O. Afterglow quenches the skin’s thirst for moisture, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and supple.

This lightweight gel-cream is perfect for all skin types, including oily and combination skin. Boosted with ergothioneine, soothing allantoin, and lutein, C.E.O. Afterglow provides a burst of antioxidants to protect your skin from environmental stressors.

My results with Sunday Riley C.E.O. AFTERGLOW:

To start, I have lupus and I had a huge flare early this year. That meant that my ordinarily evenly toned and glowing skin took a beating. I got ridiculous rashes that leave my skin with both hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation (darker and lighter spots). So, needless to say I was desperate for brightening products. Also my skin was out-of-control dry. Like a desert dry.

Knowing that Sunday Riley C.E.O. AFTERGLOW’s hero ingredient is a stabilized form of Vitamin C, I was immediately entranced. The vibrant yellow color of this gel-cream incentivized even more to try this lovely skin brightening moisturizer. By the way, they yellow color comes from *marigolds.

After using this brightening moisturizer for about two weeks, I feel see a slight increase in moisturization in my skin. I also could see that my splotchy skin was evening out. After using the entire jar, my skin was perking up. I could see a significant difference  in my skin tone. Also, my skin feels moist for hours after using this moisturizer. With my current use, I am still seeing progress in my skin tone. (I was also using Auto Correct, probably best ever eye cream for dark circles I have ever used. Check out my photos below:
