Abstract: A full isomorphism-closed subcategory $\mathcal{A}$ of a complete well-powered and co-well-powered category $\mathcal{C}$ is both co-well-powered (in its own right) and reflective in $\mathcal{C}$ if and only if

(a) $\mathcal{A}$ is closed in $\mathcal{C}$ under the formation of (-small-indexed) limits, and

(b) the epi-reflective hull $\mathcal{B}$ of $\mathcal{A}$ in $\mathcal{C}$ is co-well-powered.
