    What the gurus are saying

    Despite the serum name suggesting something sheer, this concealer punches above its weight with actual coverage while keeping skin glowy and hydrated. Reviewers found the radiant finish adds dimension to makeup rather than flattening it out, which pairs well with matte foundations. That luminous quality is the real draw here, though it means those preferring a matte concealer finish may want to try it first.

    "This is their True Skin Serum Concealer in the color Yucca. [...] It's actually a lot of coverage, but that's okay since it's gonna essentially be my makeup for today. It's very glowy and very hydrating."
    ~Mixed
    "When I saw serum in the name I was like there's no way that this is going to give me coverage because the serum in the name just kind of sounded like it was going to be light and airy. But this concealer actually does give coverage. I like that it has a luminous, more of a radiant finish, so while the foundation has that natural matte finish, this concealer gives the look more interest and dimension than it looking flat."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Vitamin C

    Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

    Sunscreen filters

    Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
