Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream Face Moisturizer — 5% THD Ascorbate, Non-Greasy Brightening

Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream is a creamy, non-greasy face moisturizer that delivers 5% THD Ascorbate vitamin C to hydrate, brighten, and defend skin against environmental stressors.

This moisturizer pairs a jar-stable, high-performance form of vitamin C with hydrating emollients and plant-derived actives to support smoother, more luminous skin without excess oiliness. The formula is designed to be gentle compared with some vitamin C types while still providing antioxidant support and visible brightening. Lightweight yet rich, it aims to reduce the appearance of dullness and provide everyday protection from pollution-related skin stress.

How does this cream deliver vitamin C without irritation?

Sunday Riley uses THD Ascorbate, a targeted vitamin C derivative known for stability in jar formulations and lower irritation potential than some acidic vitamin C forms. This allows daily use for many skin types while maintaining efficacy.

• Contains 5% THD Ascorbate for antioxidant and brightening effects
• Jar-stable formulation preserves vitamin C activity over time
• Less likely to sting or sensitize compared with stronger ascorbic acids

Will it feel heavy or leave a greasy finish?

The C.E.O. cream is formulated to be rich in hydration but not greasy, absorbing into skin to leave a soft, supple finish. It works well under makeup and can be layered with serums and sunscreens.

• Hydrating emollients that sink in quickly
• Non-greasy texture suitable for morning or evening use
• Compatible with most serums and sunscreen products

What skin concerns does it target and how quickly will I see results?

This product focuses on visible dullness, early signs of skin aging, and the appearance of damage from UV exposure and pollution. Individual results vary, but many users notice improved radiance and smoother texture with consistent use over weeks.

• Brightens skin tone and reduces the look of dullness
• Helps protect against pollution-induced stress with exopolysaccharides
• Supports a softer, more even-looking complexion over time

How should I incorporate it into my routine?

Apply C.E.O. after cleansing and any lightweight serums, then follow with sunscreen in the morning or a facial oil at night if extra moisture is needed. It can be used daily for ongoing antioxidant support.

• Use morning and/or evening after cleansing and serums
• Follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day
• Layer with complementary Sunday Riley products as desired

Who is this for: Suitable for people seeking a hydrating, antioxidant-rich daily cream that brightens and helps defend skin from environmental stress without heavy, greasy residue. It’s a good match for those who want a stable, less irritating form of vitamin C in a moisturising cream format. Note: natural ingredient sourcing can create slight color variations between batches, which does not affect performance.
