Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream — 5% THD Ascorbate, fragrance-free antioxidant moisturizer

Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream is a vitamin C–forward moisturizer that delivers stable THD ascorbate, antioxidant protection, and lasting hydration without a greasy finish.

This rich-yet-light cream combines a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C (THD ascorbate) with protective polysaccharides and clarifying citrus extracts to help brighten, smooth, and hydrate skin that shows early signs of aging and environmental stress. Formulated to be jar-stable and gentle, it aims to provide antioxidant support while minimizing irritation—suitable for those who want the benefits of vitamin C in a daily moisturizer.

How does this moisturizer deliver vitamin C without irritation?

Sunday Riley uses THD ascorbate, an oil-soluble vitamin C derivative known for better skin penetration and higher stability than many ascorbic acid forms. Because it’s less likely to oxidize and is gentler on the skin, it’s often tolerated better by those with sensitivity who still want vitamin C benefits.

• Contains 5% THD ascorbate for targeted antioxidant activity.
• Oil-soluble formulation improves absorption into skin layers.
• Jar-stable texture that resists rapid oxidation.
• Formulated without fragrance to reduce irritation risk.

What visible effects can I expect with regular use?

With consistent application, the moisturizer supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion and helps restore a smoother texture. It works to hydrate skin, bolster radiance, and address early visible signs associated with aging and pollution exposure.

• Helps even skin tone and improve radiance.
• Supports smoother texture and perceived volume.
• Provides antioxidant defense against environmental stressors.
• Leaves skin soft and hydrated without greasy residue.

Will this cream work with my existing skincare routine?

This vitamin C moisturizer is compatible with many routines: it can be used after serums and before sunscreen in the daytime, or paired with overnight treatments at night. Avoid layering with very strong exfoliating acids at the same moment if your skin is sensitive; otherwise it integrates well with cleansers, serums, and SPF.

• Use after cleansing and serums, before SPF in daytime.
• Pairs well with hydrating serums and non-acidic treatments.
• Fragrance-free and free of common irritants to ease layering.
• Suitable for both AM and PM use depending on routine.

Which skin types benefit most from this formula?

The cream is designed for people seeking antioxidant hydration and radiance without heavy oils or irritating additives. Its smoother, cushiony texture suits normal, dry, combination, and sensitive skin types that want to address early aging or dullness.

• Great for sensitive skin due to reduced irritation potential.
• Hydrating enough for dry skin while non-greasy for combination types.
• Ideal for those exposed to pollution and environmental stressors.
• Works for users looking to introduce vitamin C via moisturizer.
