Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream — 1.7 oz, 5% THD Ascorbate, lightweight non-greasy antioxidant moisturizer

Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream is a jar-stable, oil-soluble vitamin C moisturizer designed to hydrate skin while delivering antioxidant support and reducing visible early signs of aging.

This lightweight-yet-rich face cream uses THD ascorbate, a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C, combined with protective polysaccharides and botanical extracts to help brighten, hydrate, and defend skin from environmental stressors. The formula is crafted to be suitable for sensitive skin types and offers antioxidant protection without a greasy finish. It’s cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and formulated without common irritants like sulfates and parabens.

How does this cream help improve skin radiance?

The THD ascorbate in this moisturizer penetrates effectively and resists oxidation, supporting a more luminous skin tone over time. By supplying antioxidant support and gentle exfoliation from botanical extracts, the formula helps reveal a brighter-looking complexion with continued use.

• Contains 5% THD ascorbate, an oil-soluble vitamin C derivative.
• Includes lime pearl extract to refine texture and surface glow.
• Antioxidant polysaccharides defend against pollution-related dullness.

Will this moisturizer work for sensitive or reactive skin?

This version of vitamin C is formulated to be less irritating than many water-soluble forms, making it a reasonable choice for those with sensitivity. The product is free of fragrances and major sensitizing ingredients, reducing potential triggers while still delivering active benefits.

• THD ascorbate is chosen for lower irritation risk compared to ascorbic acid.
• Fragrance-free and formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, or soy.
• Balanced texture hydrates without leaving a greasy residue.

How should I incorporate this into my daily skincare routine?

Use the cream after cleansing and any water-based serums to lock in hydration and deliver antioxidant protection. It pairs well with sunscreen during the day and complements richer actives at night; always layer products from thinnest to thickest consistency for best absorption.

• Apply morning and/or evening after serums and before sunscreen (AM).
• Use a pea-sized amount and smooth evenly across face and neck.
• Follow with SPF during daytime to protect treated skin from UV exposure.

What texture and finish can I expect from this moisturizer?

The cream feels nourishing but absorbs cleanly, providing a soft, satin finish that suits normal to dry skin and layers well for combination types. It delivers lasting moisture without a heavy or sticky feel.

• Rich yet non-greasy texture that melts into skin.
• Leaves a smooth, hydrated surface ideal for makeup or bare skin.
• Designed to maintain hydration and antioxidant support throughout the day.
