Topical vitamin C has been scientifically shown to prevent sun damage. It can help slow the early aging of the skin and decrease the appearance of wrinkles, acne and discoloration. Because it is an antioxidant, vitamin C fights toxins that enter your body and contact your skin.

But although vitamin C serums can be highly effective for improving the look and feel of your skin, they can also be quite expensive. Fortunately, there are products like TruSkin vitamin C serum that are designed to provide results without breaking your budget.

TruSkin vitamin C serum includes vitamin E, which can protect the skin from inflammation and sun damage; hyaluronic acid, which helps hydrate and heal skin; and anti-inflammatory methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which the brand says supports collagen and keratin.

It also includes witch hazel, a natural astringent, and moisturizing jojoba oil. What it doesn’t have, according to TruSkin, are synthetic colors, fragrances, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, polyethylene glycols and genetically-modified organisms.

In addition, this skin product, which is manufactured and bottled in the U.S., has been certified cruelty free by the Leaping Bunny Program.

Reviewer Mayowa O. declared it the “best $20 ever spent,” saying she was skeptical, but, “With or without makeup, my skin is bright, smooth and my spots are disappearing.”
