Beware Dermstore products
I had received a sample of this in July from a Sephora purchase and fell in love with it. I had been waiting for the Sephora semi annual sale to buy a full sized product due to its cost but could not believe my luck when Dermstore had their 25% anniversary sale last month. I thought it was too good to be true to get 25% off this product and I was right. As soon as I used my new CEO serum that I received from Dermstore, I noticed that the serum was much thinner and runnier than the free sample I had tried before from Sephora. I also noticed it did not given me the immediate glow effect that my free sample did and was much more tackier/stickier on the face after application. I also broke out with little bumps on my face after a few days and stopped the product immediately. My skin got back to normal after stopping it 1 week later and knew that it was this product that caused the allergic reaction since nothing else changed. I assumed that I had unfortunately developed an allergy to an ingredient. I reviewed the ingredients list on my purchased product recently and compared to the ingredients list for CEO on the Sephora website and noticed a difference in the ingredients. My purchased product had tangerine peel oil which was not present on the Sephora product list and some other differences. None of the main ingredients were different but I assume that I developed the allergic reaction to tangerine peel oil. Dermstore must have sent me an old formulation of Sunday Riley CEO but there is NO DATE or expiration anywhere on the bottle or box and I don't know when the formulation changed. I am trying to contact Sunday Riley to find out when the formulation changed. But this is a warning to those out there that yes, Dermstore has great discounts and the 20-25% off are enticing but you're probably better off buying the full priced product from Sephora since it looks like Dermstore sends you old products/formulations.

I find this to be too heavy
I prefer a lighter serum. I find that using this when it is warm and humid out results in my skin feeling very oily. As a result, I cannot use this more than once or twice a week. So after using it a few months, I really don;t see any results. This might work if your skin is very dry.

First time trying this serum
Started using this a few weeks ago. Love the smell and the way it makes my face feel. Haven't noticed a huge difference in the dark spots but will take another progress pic when I finish the serum.

Brightens, Tightens, & Moisturizes!
I have been using this product for about two weeks now. What I love about it is that it comes in a creamy form. I have patches of dry skin and by the time I get to my moisturizer, it's already started flaking a lot of the time. This serum is my second step, so it's great that is soaks into my skin and provides that moisture it needs. Plus, I can tell my skin is much more radiant and my spots that have bothered me for a while are noticeably fading. I can get "picky" on my skin, and hate that I pull away from the mirror and have BIG red marks where I've tried to work out a blackhead. This really helps to calm and fade those spots quickly, so I'm not relying on concealer for as long. Also, I feel like this tightens my skin, which I love. It gives me the feeling that I've just had a facial and provides the radiance as well. I hesitated buying this for a long time because of the price, but after a friend recommended it, I pulled the trigger. So glad I did! (I marked off for packaging, because the glass bottle makes it heavy and hard to pack "light" when I travel)

Didn't notice a change
I used it for 30 days, but didn't notice a change to my pores or dark spots. My skin texture was improved, however.

Cant say enough about this one
Not sure if I am imagining but I think this cream really works. Have been using it for 2 weeks now and my sun spots look almost gone. Love it. It smells great and feels wonderful on application. Not sticky and it gets absorbed fast. Makes my face feel fresh bright.

High price point
Love the smell and consistency, but I'm not sure it's worth $85. I haven't used it long enough to see if it lightens my dark spots, but it is lovely under makeup.

Nice but way too expensive
I received this product in a subscription box. It was nice, but $85 is a ridiculous price point for it.

Love this stuff
The smell is great, the consistency is nice. I just started using about 2 weeks ago so I'm not sure if it lightening age spots but definitely feels good on the skin. Non greasy. I will be ordering when my sample is out
