"In addition to the vitamin C derivative, this also has some botanical ingredients, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. I actually liked using this product more than I expected to. I [...] feel like this loses a point because it's in that dropper bottle, but because it's more affordable, I'm not as worried about knocking it into my sink. I think this is a really nice option for people who want a vitamin C that's not going to be too irritating."

"This TruSkin Vitamin C serum has ascorbic acid in it and hyaluronic acid. It was okay, it did oxidize pretty readily, and it's also got an ingredient that can help with healing and barrier recovery."

"I definitely recommend it as one of the best vitamin C serums out there. [...] It's definitely like a little thicker and richer than a lot of other vitamin C serums I've used before. [...] This one has more of a thick viscous texture to it that really hydrates the skin, but doesn't leave it looking extra shiny or greasy. That's usually one of my big complaints when it comes to vitamin C, but this one does a really good job of not doing that."

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.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
