I redeemed a 8g sample size of Sunday Ridley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream with my Sephora points sometime back and had been using it recently. You can read my previous review on Sunday Ridley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment which was promising. 

I had high hopes for this Sunday Ridley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream after hearing good things about it.

[ Review ] Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment

 

Product Description

Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment deeply exfoliates the dull surface of the skin for instant glow and radiance. As dull, dead surface cells are removed, clarity and smoothness is restored. Visibly brightens the appearance of dark spots and discolorations. Instantly plumps the look of fine lines and wrinkles in 3 minutes.

I redeemed a 5ml sample size of Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment with my Sephora points last year. After hearing so much raves about their products, I was looking forward to trying this even though some of the glowing reviews may be fake ( read more below ). This came in just in time, as I just depleted IDS Facial Scrub recently. 

Made in USA, Sunday Riley combines active scientific ingredients with efficacious plant-based botanicals where each carefully researched product is said to deliver immediate results and long-term payoff thanks to its high-tech formulations.

Back in 2019, Sunday Riley was accused of posting fake reviews of their products on Sephora's website for two years after a Reddit user leaked an email that showed employees being asked by the company to create fake Sephora accounts and post "glowing" reviews of products.

Definitely not very ethical but at the same time, it also made me more intrigued to try out their products.
