I’ve always taken good care of my skin. As I’ve grown older and more concerned about aging, it seems I’m spending more money than ever on every type of anti-aging product out there. But at CNN Underscored, we’re always looking for high-performing products that are cost-effective, so I’ve committed to finding more affordable skin care products. Thankfully, good skin care doesn’t have to be expensive, and when I came across TruSkin’s Vitamin C Facial Serum, I was thrilled to see it came with a very reasonable price tag of $30 and often goes on sale.
Like most vitamin C serums, TruSkin is designed to target signs of aging like dark spots and wrinkles, and increase brightness and collagen production. I was happy to find ingredients I could read and understand on the label, like jojoba oil, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and witch hazel, among others. Although it doesn’t tell you exactly how much vitamin C it contains, as its more expensive competitors do, I still found it effective on my very dry and sensitive skin, which absorbed the formula easily and quickly without leaving any sticky residue.
I asked board-certified dermatologist Dr. Charles Puza about the benefits of vitamin C for skin. “Vitamin C is one type of antioxidant, which is a foundational ingredient for any skin care routine,” he said. “Topical antioxidants help to protect your skin from the stress of everyday life — pollution, weather, poor diet, stress, etc. Vitamin C helps to brighten the skin and fade dark spots, boost collagen production and protect from sun damage.”
