Before we talk about this review, I want to let you know that I have a new feature to Expat Mum. It is the Honest Beauty and Skin Care Product Review. I admit I have always had an obsession with skincare. But it’s only in the last two years I took skincare to the next level. I want my skin to feel hydrated and look glowy all the time. Don’t we all!! Yet, with all the thousands of skin care products available. We can become overwhelmed with what works and what doesn’t. In the honest review section, I share my honest opinions about products I have tried.
If you are like me and easily get overwhelmed with all the different types of products I want to mention a fantastic book for anyone wanting to understand more about skincare. Skincare: The award-winning ultimate no-nonsense guide by Caroline Hirons. Click here, to get your copy from Amazon. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to gets serious about skin care. Read this book first before you buy your next skin care product!! BUT DON’T READ YET UNTIL YOU FINISH READING MY POST .. Haha.

My verdic
This was my first bottle of Sunday Riley CEO oil. After hearing lots of great things about this product, I decided to try it myself. The oil appears orange but did not leave an orange tinge on my skin. A little oil goes a long way. I massage this into my skin and allow a short time for it to absorb before applying a moisturiser. I think this could be used as a moisturizer alone as it leaves the skin feeling moisturized and smells amazing! Usually I don’t like products that have a smell to them but this one is amazing. This is so far the best vitamin c oil I’ve ever used. it also sits perfectly under sunscreen and I’ve notice a brightened complexion and more glowy skin straight away. (((A little secret, my husband also loves this product).
Are you convinced enough to try this yourself? Before you decide let’s take a look at some of the key ingredients.
According to Sunday Riley the key ingredients are
GINGER: Promotes evenness of skin tone and helps soothe the look of sensitivity.
RED RASPBERRY: Helps alleviate dehydration and boost radiance with a 1:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids.
THD ASCORBATE: Extremely stable and oil soluble form of Vitamin C. Helps fight the signs of aging caused by time, stress, lifestyle, and pollution, including dullness, visible loss of firmness, the signs of lines and wrinkles, and the appearance of dark spots and surface redness
CRANBERRY SEED OIL: Contains the perfect balance of Omegas 3-6-9 and is rich in vitamins A, C and E. The oil absorbs well into the skin, locking in moisture and nutrients.
EVENING PRIMROSE: Gives your skin a healthy glow and replenishes its moisture barrier with GLA and Omega-6
POMEGRANATE SEED OIL: A botanical source of Conjugated Linolenic Acid, a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin.
GOLDEN TURMERIC: Rich in antioxidants and calming compounds. Helps improve the appearance of surface redness and skin evenness when applied topically.
JOJOBA OIL: Helps seal the skin with a protective barrier to keep it from losing moisture, making the skin soft and supple
