.5 oz bottle is tricky
The product is fine overall and I’d probably use it again. I bought the travel size as a trial but beware that there is just a tiny pouch attached to the pump, not an actual bottle. I’m pretty frugal with $$$ product and discovered this after about 10 days.

Disappointed
I think company should be ashamed for the packaging and how little product you get. Once product gets low pump goofs up making it extremely hard to get remaining product. Id say look into the Vichy or another brand. I noticed no difference after a whole bottle.

Caused Allergic Reaction
Though i did like the smell and feel after applying. After using for a few days i had an allergic reaction. My eyes and face became very puffy and swollen. If you have sensitive skin i do not recommend.

This product finally gave me results
Although it is a bit on the expensive side. It is worth every penny and a little goes a long way. 10/10 recommend.

Did make a difference…
It took a week or two before I noticed any difference. I know it’s worth it when I look in the mirror with a clean face and it looks healthy and even. I follow up with a delicious moisturizer or face oil.

$60
The 0.5 oz bottle lasted 5 weeks. I saw zero change in the appearance of my skin. This seems worthless to me.

Best vitamin c serum I've tried
And I've tried a lot. Can we just stop the madness with complaining about the packaging? Great scott! You all are ruining your product by taking it apart like that. Vitamin C needs to be protected from air and light. This is potent and transformative vitamin c, and while expensive, it is definitely better than any other I've used. Doesnt smell like rotten wienies either, because its protected from air. Great stuff!

Bad choice for the money
The amount in the bottle is a joke for $50. I didn’t see anything it did for my face so I consider it a total waste of my money.

Transformative line of skin care
I was given some Sunday Riley products a gift, and noticed right away, the difference in the texture of my skin. A lot of fine lines went away! I'm sold on using Sunday Riley from now on!

You have to try this! You’ll won’t believe the res
The results are amazing! Your skin actually glows. Not only am I hooked, but I have introduced my daughters, sister, PCP (former and current), pain Dr and dermatologist to this product. ALL of them use CEO serum and have their friends and family using it too. I’ve been a skin care junkie since the age of 15. I’m almost 67 and can honestly say Sunday Riley products are the best by far! My skin has never looked so good. Even a dermatologist told me that my skin looks good for 30 year old.

Terrible price for size
Went through this product in less than three weeks and didnt even use it daily. The price per volume is a scam

GREAT VITAMIN C!!
This is a great product! Dont let the bad reviews about the packaging sway you. They dont understand how vitamin C needs to work! Vit C needs stability. Introducing it to air, light etc like a dropper or clear glass container will make it less potent and unstable over time. And the airless bag, and jar that blocks light is genious to keep the vita c stable and potent. Youre still getting your product because it says on the box how many fl oz you are getting. They cant lie about that or short you…..they would get sued. This also has brightened by skin. Love the consistency and moisturizing. Has irritated my skin or broke me out.

This does what it says it's going to do!!
One of the best Vitamin C serums on the market. THC Ascorbate is superior to regular Vitamin C. Its oil soluble, very stable, doesnt go bad for a much linger period of time. You dont need a heavy layer of this product. You wont smell like hot dog water like you do with regular Vitamin C. It also contains glycolic acid adding to the brightening effect. Helps to exfoliate your skin. Do your self a favor and buy the big bottle its much more cost effective. U only need one pump in the morning for it to do its job. I love Sunday Riley products…
