"This one I've also talked about before, it's from Versed. I actually really love this one, it's the Weekend Glow Daily Brightening Moisturizer, that retails for $19.99 at Target. Has wonderful ingredients, I really really love the texture, it's nourishing, it's hydrating, it supports your skin barrier, yet it's non greasy, it's not going to clog your pores. Versed makes great products that are also vegan, cruelty free, as well as fragrance free."

Dermatologist Reviews VERSED Skincare | Dr. Jenny Liu

"The Weekend Glow Daily Brightening Moisturizer [...] is such an elegant, nourishing but not heavy, fast absorbing, lightweight moisturizer. What I love about this aside from just the feel and texture is that it also contains THD [...] ascorbate, a lipid soluble vitamin C that has antioxidants and brighten benefits but is lipid soluble, so it's really ideal for those with more sensitive skin."

"The Versed Weekend Glow brightening moisturizer contains a blend of lipid soluble THD ascorbate along with cloudberry seed oil and other plant extracts in a very lightweight but still nourishing cream, since it has shea butter and other lipids. Good if you want brightening and improved skin texture and tone from your moisturizer."

"This is really great for day or night. This also is good at bringing more antioxidants into our routine because this has some other additional antioxidant extracts in it to protect our skin throughout the day, and this does not pill on the skin, so it is really perfect for daytime use. This is actually less money than some of my favorite drugstore moisturizers, especially when it's bundled into my skincare routine, and it really is just one of the best products that Versed sells."

"Versed Weekend Glow Daily Brightening Moisturizer [...] contains vitamin C in the form of THD ascorbate, which is a stabilized form of vitamin C. It has a nice lightweight texture that's great for morning use and won't sit heavy on the skin. It's a little brightening and wears wonderful under makeup. This is a great budget buy for a moisturizer that contains vitamin C if you want vitamin C in your morning routine but don't want to put on a separate serum."

"For this routine I love this one by Versed. It's their Weekend Glow Brightening Moisturizer. This is the one I'm using right now during the summer time. It has vitamin C in it for extra antioxidant protection and it's very lightweight."

5 Tips For Your Summer Skincare Routine! | The Budget Dermatologist

"This is a perfect summertime moisturizer because of those antioxidants because it's lightweight and it absorbs quickly. I love to wear this in the morning and it wears very nicely under makeup. It has a stable form of vitamin C called tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, or THA for short, which is notably very stable because it breaks down easily in light and air, unlike other forms of vitamin C. It's also oil soluble so it penetrates the skin barrier better than water soluble forms."

"This is Verst's Weekend Glow Daily Brightening Moisturizer. I really like this moisturizer and think it's perfect for traveling because it does a good job of making sure my skin is properly nourished and protected, through ingredients like caprylic triglyceride and shea butter. Shea butter is deeply moisturizing, and a lot of times I get a little nervous when I see it in an ingredient list because it means the product can be very heavy on the skin, but this is a very lightweight gel."

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.

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.
