Details & care

What it is: A revitalizing moisturizer that supercharges your natural radiance and delivers a nongreasy, satin-skin finish.

What it does: High-strength, advanced vitamin C (THD Ascorbate) infuses a concentrated burst of antioxidants for a healthy glow. This luminous, plumping cream also brightens and evens skin tone while working to firm the skin's appearance. A sodium hyaluronate-powered humectant blend pulls hydration into the skin over time for long lasting moisturization. It is balanced with moisturizing allantoin and lutein for a boost of antioxidants for radiant-looking skin.

How to use: Can be used morning and night to cleansed skin. For vibrant skin and a firmer appearance, apply to face, neck and dècolletage.

A new favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really impressed with this product! It has a lightweight, silky feel that feels hydrating without being heavy or greasy, and my skin looks noticeably brighter and more refreshed after using it. I especially love how smooth and healthy my skin feels throughout the day. It’s easily become a favorite in my routine!

UNHAPPYUNHAPPY

Salesperson Asma sold me THE WRONG product even though I pointed out on the shelf EXACTLY what I wanted because she was too busy speaking French with her colleagues. Now I must return to the store to correct the problem. Five minutes prior to this transaction, I was handled with care by the young woman Shelby at Longchamp. Why do I bother going to the mall?

Beautiful glowy skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Sunday Riley moisturizer is a nice, gentle vitamin C. It's a very thick cream moisturizer that applies and absorbs really nicely. It leaves a pretty glow that's almost shimmery (which looks really pretty but did go away after I applied my sunscreen which is a must with vitamin C products). I especially love using this at night because my skin is so glowy in the morning. It does have a soft herbal or maybe floral scent but it's not overwhelming.

CEO afterglow

CEO afterglow is so hydrating but doesn’t leave your skin oily. Hydration lasts all day and SR vitamin c is so effective!

Works best in tandem with other vitamin C

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream has a strong orange colour and intense orange scent that I enjoyed, it was very refreshing. I found this didn’t have much of an effect on my skin over time, I prefer to use the serum from this same product line. This did not irritate my skin at all.

Leaves face hydrated

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It feels great, super moisturizing, doesn't feel tacky or sticky on the face, it smells very citrusy and lightweight. I didn't really see a difference as far as brightness. I suffer feom hyperpigmentation so it didnt really do alot for my skin as far as brightness.
