Afterglow is the moisturizer step: a whipped vitamin C gel cream (sodium hyaluronate pulls in water) that leaves skin plump, bouncy, and lit from within, without a heavy cream feel. Lovely under makeup, even better on bare-skin days. (Mine is the mini from my Wake Up With Me set — the link goes to the 1.7 oz jar, and the listing has other sizes to pick from too.)

Why We Like It:

  • Vitamin C brightens for a lit-from-within look
  • Sodium hyaluronate pulls in water for plump, bouncy skin
  • Whipped gel texture hydrates without a heavy cream feel
  • Lovely under makeup — and even better on bare-skin days

Best For: Anyone who wants a moisturizer that leaves a glow instead of grease — especially dull, tired-looking skin.
