TruSkin’s ‘Life-Changing’ Vitamin C Super Serum Is 40% Off

HuffPost readers already know the power of TruSkin’s Vitamin C facial serum, a consistent Amazon top-seller that reviewers claim is just as effective as higher-end options. Right now, the 2-ounce bottle of the brand’s boosted vitamin C “super serum” is 40% off, for the first time since May, according to our price trackers.

Boasting ingredients like niacinamide, retinol, hyaluronic and salicylic acid, users say this serum helps their skin feel “soft and smoother,” and is even “life-changing for your appearance!” One user reports the serum “made my wrinkles less noticeable and has tightened my pores dramatically,” and another who wrote their “forehead lines are less defined, skin is much softer, smoother and overall younger looking” after use.

Vitamin C is a valuable player in any skin care routine. Just take it from New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Dr. Bradley Glodny who previously told HuffPost that after sunscreen and retinol, it’s the most helpful ingredient for promoting more youthful-looking skin.

In addition to brightening vitamin C, this serum has niacinamide, an antioxidant to support cellular processes, hyaluronic acid to add bounce and plumpness, salicylic acid to declog pores and reduce oils and retinol to promote collagen synthesis and decrease collagen breakdown.

The serum has a gentle smell and goes on smooth, thanks to a combination of organic aloe vera, HA, MSM and rose hip and pink grapefruit oils. The brand recommended using this to replace your daily serum two to three times a week and apply two to three drops to skin. Many reviewers recommend using this at nighttime, just before bed.

“I decided to try this after I gave the TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum for Face, Organic Anti-Aging Topical Facial Serum with Hyaluronic Acid, 1 fl oz and really liked that,” explains Emma B. “I was looking at adding more to my regimen, but this looked like it had everything I wanted in one combination serum, and I am so glad I decided to try it! I would bathe in the stuff if I could!”

(As always, we need to remind you: You should be using sunscreen every day it’s especially important to use it when adding retinol into your routine to protect your skin! We have some recommendations…)

Upgrade your personal care routine and add this super serum into your life while it’s 40% off! Read on to see how it’s affected the routines of several happy reviewers.

“I love the way it glides on and how my skin feels wearing it, but most importantly, I’m noticing a change in my skin’s texture even before finishing the first bottle. Definitely softer and smoother. I love the scent, too. Customer for life.” — Jh08

“I liked the price of this product initially, read reviews and opted to give it a try. It’s now been a few weeks, I’m noticing forehead lines are less defined, skin is much softer, smoother and overall younger looking! I’m looking forward to subtle changes in future from continued use of Truskin.” — KathyCarleyYoung

“So let me just start by saying. I am a thirty three year old African American female with tan skin. For years I have struggled with dark spots and textured skin. What I mean by that is visible pores and just roughness. Maybe because the only real care I was giving to my skin was a Dove moisturizing bar and letting the water dry on my face. Sometimes I would use a coffee scrub or a sugar scrub mixed with various other ingredients (honey, salt, and olive oil.) This worked wonders. The year’s do pack on to the face and skin. Let’s be honest. I was looking dried out! Like my skin needed a moisture infusion. I bought the true skin moisturizer and Super c serum a year or two ago. Once in a while I would use them. The first time I tried using these products consistently it broke me out. Like black heads and little zits. Not cool. Now that I’m thinking about it my skin seemed to be purging all of the gunk and bad stuff in my pores. All I know is that I was not a fan. Fast forward a few months. I love this stuff. My face has never looked better. My wrinkles are less noticeable. My skin is soft and moisturized. Also my dark spots are almost completely gone aswell. I have glass skin. This stuff does tingle when you first put it on. Sometimes I like to wet my fingers to spread the product. Love this stuff. Just got a second bottle. The lid did come apart when I opened the bottle. It was sealed super clean and professional. With a plastic layer that had the perforation. All I had to do was retighten the lid and press down to reseal the squeeze part of the glass dropper to the screw lid. I’m just so happy with this product. Worth every penny. I’ve also been using bliss pumpkin enzyme mask. Take the time to be kind to your skin! It’s very important. Just a warning. I was very oily the first month of using this product consistently. I also use this c serum twice a day. Honestly I enjoy an oily wet looking face. Lol. Just be warned. I also don’t wear makeup. At all. I probably could get way wonderfully with some concealer. My skin always looks dewy and smooth with this product. Super moisturizing and healthy. Please try! Lol. I’m drinking the coolaid.” — Shariyfa Montgomery

“This product is amazing! I have purchased it several times however I believe this is my first review on it. I wish I had taken pictures when I first started using it because I had big brown spots on my face. I suppose they call them, age spots or sun spots. However, after using this product for a very short time, the brown spot started to disappear and now you don’t see them at all. That is not to say I have not gotten others when I have quit using the product in between times, but as soon as I start using it again, the spots disappear. And truthfully, even using it sporadically makes the spots, barely barely barely noticeable. I don’t just use it on my face, I use it on my fore arms, the back of my hands and spots on my legs. I love this product and highly recommend it.” — Bonnie

“Wow am I impressed with this stuff – wish I had just gone ahead and tried it sooner! After only a few days, I know this product is highly potent. I probably overdid it a bit by using it daily but I was feeling pretty pissed off at the condition of my skin and didn’t care if I got some redness. My skin is pretty tough and usually have minimal issues with products being too irritating. This isn’t overly irritating – it’s the kind of redness that makes me 100% certain this stuff is as potent as they claim. I was seeing that after moving to a different region with different climate my skin seemed to be reacting by increasing its oil production. That was making me break out a bit so I went full force with this right when I got it and started using it every night. Within a couple days I saw the breakouts significantly decreased. 5-6 days and my skin is so much less oily. Now it’s feeling like the natural oil is getting close to balanced where it’s moisturizing and protecting my skin without getting greasy and causing breakouts. My skin feels softer, smoother and plumper. I was seeing my laugh lines looking more noticeable – I’m 29 but have had them for ages, having had rather chubby cheeks as a kid and teen but lost a lot of that with age, but left me with the creases for many years and I’m very keen on keeping them from getting and deeper. They look so much finer after just a few days, I am so thrilled. I definitely need to chill out a bit cause I do feel my skin getting slightly… raw is not the right word, but it feels a bit like a sunburn. But that is my fault and I’m not mad about it, I see that my skin is reacting to the product and is clearly stimulated. It smells so nice and is so light, I love using it so I’ll probably stick to only at night. I decided to try this after I gave the TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum for Face, Organic Anti-Aging Topical Facial Serum with Hyaluronic Acid, 1 fl oz and really liked that. I was looking at adding more to my regimen, but this looked like it had everything I wanted in one combination serum, and I am so glad I decided to try it! I would bathe in the stuff if I could!” — Emma B.
