As a product, “face oils” can sound counterintuitive. Why should I put oil on my face if I already have oily skin?
Please allow me to explain. Unlike creams and moisturizers, face oils stay on the surface of your skin, helping to strengthen skin barrier, adding silkiness, and locking in hydration. Regular face oil usage therefore restores healthy, plump skin. For example, I like to put on face oil after I’ve just washed off a scrub or exfoliator in the shower. It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth—plus, as anyone who regularly applies face oil can attest, it feels totally luxurious.
Another benefit? A little goes a long way in the face oil department, making a quality face oil worth the investment.
There’s a whole world of face oils at your fingertips, but as a true Sunday Riley stan, I’m here to talk to you about the brand’s buzzy C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C & Turmeric Face Oil ($40). Is it worth the hype? Absolutely! It’s adored by beauty-obsessed editors (us), BeautyTok, and A-listers like Drew Barrymore.
Infused with pure Vitamin C and calming turmeric, Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C & Turmeric Face Oil ($40) delivers cold-pressed, nutrient-rich extracts into your skin. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects against pollutants and free radicals, brightening your skin from the inside out. Turmeric helps to hydrate and nourish the skin, enhancing luminosity. Another hero ingredient in this formula is cranberry seed oil, which Sunday Riley says works in tandem with turmeric to deliver anti-aging benefits. The result is brighter, clearer, youthful-looking skin. Added benefit: Users say that the oil decreased the look of dark spots and hyperpigmentation over time.
I love applying face oils after a scrub or exfoliating mask, but people say that C.E.O Glow Vitamin C & Turmeric Face Oil ($40) works especially great first thing in the morning on clean skin. Because it doubles as a makeup primer, putting a little bit on the morning will give you a glow-y base. Imagine a highlighter, but this will make you look illuminated all over! You can also apply it at night as a last step in your skincare routine for added hydration.
Overall, people love this product, but wish it was more affordable.
“Love this product. Been using it off and on for a few years. The price use to be a lot cheaper than $40. I think I paid around $17 years ago. Small but mighty. Just a few drops will do,” one person said. Another user wrote, “Incredible face oil for glow. Always complimented on my skin, smells amazing. This works well, does not make my pores clogged. Face feels amazing after. Pricey but worth it.” One happy customer even said, “10 stars. Buy this for yourself, and buy it for all the people in your life, man or woman.”
Remember, you just need to apply a few drops of this serum—so it’s supposed to last you a long time. That might help make the price point feel worth it!
