Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow Vitamin C Gel-Cream — Lightweight Brightening & 24H Hydration (50ml)

Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow is a lightweight Vitamin C gel-cream that brightens skin, locks in 24-hour hydration, and creates a radiant, smooth base for makeup.

Powered by a stable, high-strength Vitamin C derivative (THD Ascorbate), this gel-cream is formulated to visibly even skin tone while drawing moisture into the skin. The formula pairs antioxidant lutein with sodium hyaluronate to help protect against environmental stressors and hold water in the skin. Its luminous, plumping texture absorbs quickly, suitable for daytime routines or layered under makeup.

How does C.E.O. Afterglow brighten and even skin tone?

The product uses THD Ascorbate, a stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that penetrates skin to support radiance and reduce the appearance of dullness. Regular use helps create a more uniform complexion without heavy, greasy residue.

• Contains THD Ascorbate to target uneven pigmentation.
• Light-reflecting finish improves perceived luminosity.
• Absorbs quickly to support daily application under makeup.

Will this cream keep my skin hydrated all day?

Yes; the gel-cream texture is built to pull and retain moisture thanks to sodium hyaluronate, which binds water to the skin for prolonged hydration. The formula is designed for 24-hour moisturization in a single application when used as directed.

• Sodium hyaluronate increases water retention within skin layers.
• Luminous water-cream texture feels light, not heavy.
• Suitable for morning or evening routines to maintain moisture levels.

Is this suitable for oily or combination skin types?

The gel-cream's lightweight, water-based consistency is formulated to hydrate without adding excess oil, making it a good match for oily and combination skin. It provides a plumping effect while minimizing a greasy finish, so it layers well with serums and sunscreen.

• Non-greasy gel-cream absorbs quickly.
• Balances hydration without clogging pores.
• Works well under makeup as a smoothing base.

What additional benefits does the formula include?

Beyond brightening and hydration, the cream contains antioxidant lutein to help defend against blue light exposure and ingredients that improve texture and the look of fine lines. The overall effect is a softer, more lifted appearance over time with consistent use.

• Lutein offers natural blue-light antioxidant support.
• Targets texture, fine lines, and pore appearance.
• Creates a radiant, makeup-friendly canvas.

Who is this for: Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow is aimed at people seeking a fast-absorbing, brightening moisturizer that provides long-lasting hydration and a luminous finish. It suits those with normal, oily, combination, or dehydrated skin who want a Vitamin C product that layers cleanly with sunscreen and makeup, and anyone looking for a lightweight anti-aging hydration step in their daily regimen.
