I’m always on the hunt for skincare products that address my issues (dry skin and dullness), and I’ve long had my sights set on the coveted Sunday Riley C.E.O. serum (was from $43, now from $36). Seems like an up to 35 percent discount for Amazon Prime Day 2024 might just be my sign to pull the trigger, no? Yes, you read that right. The retailer's massive 48-hour sale is back from July 16 through July 17, and the best deals (including a slew of buzzy beauty buys) are selling fast! That said, you should know Sunday Riley has gotten rave reviews from my colleagues, including commerce editor Olivia Dubyak, who reviewed the Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow face oil (was from $40, now from $28), and reported that the oil was worth its price tag for its effectiveness and advanced long-lasting formula.

As for the Vitamin C brightening serum, the recipe is meant to brighten, firm and plump your skin, which means it should get your face refreshed, hydrated and balanced. It's packed with 15% vitamin C, after all, which studies say works toward eliminating hyperpigmentation and dark under-eye circles. Oh, and you could begin seeing improvements in as little as a week. Also included in the serum is glycolic acid—which exfoliates, and saccharide isomerate extract—a pore-reducing ingredient that helps replenish and restore. All of this ladders up to slowing the signs of aging and reinforcing your skin’s natural barrier for an overall healthier complexion.

“I have been using this product for about two years now. One bottle will last you at least six months if you just use one pump for your face. It absorbs well and leaves your skin feeling dewy and hydrated. It also pairs well with other products as well, and does not separate or pill. I use this as my first layer in the morning and apply a moisturizer and sunscreen with no difficulty,” says one Amazon shopper.

Another buyer shares: “This product goes on super smooth and has never left a sticky feeling! Also worth mentioning is the amazing smell! I've already noticed it making a difference on my melasma and discoloration!”

I'm definitely adding this serum to my cart with such a hefty price slash, and I suggest you do the same if you want to glow all summer long. Who am I kidding? Of course you do—see ya at checkout!
