Okay, so you know I'm always on the hunt for that holy grail product, right? I wasted so much money on stuff that didn't work. But, I'd been seeing TruSkin Vitamin C Serum View Product all over my Instagram, and after battling dull winter skin (thanks, British weather!), I decided to give it a whirl. You can grab it from Boots here View Product if you're tempted.
First impressions? The texture is gorgeous. It's like silk, but not greasy at all. The smell is subtle – a light citrusy scent that disappears quickly. I tried this when my skin was looking particularly sad. Unlike the No7 serum I used before (which felt sticky, ugh!), this sank right in. The only thing is, it takes ages to absorb, so I usually apply it while I'm making my morning cuppa.
Now, for the real tea. I used this consistently for three weeks, every morning after cleansing and before my moisturiser. I keep it next to my toothbrush so I don't forget! For the first few days, this didn't work for me at first. I didn't notice a huge difference, but I kept at it. Then, on day 5, I looked in the mirror and I swear my skin looked…brighter? Like, actually glowing. I thought I was imagining it, but my husband even commented on it a week later! He asked if I'd had a facial.
After two weeks, the biggest difference was in my skin tone. I have some stubborn dark spots from old breakouts, and they were noticeably lighter. My skin also felt smoother, like I'd been exfoliating every day (which I definitely hadn't!). By week three, I was completely sold. My skin looks healthier, feels softer, and has this amazing radiance that I haven't seen in ages. Even my makeup goes on better.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely! This is my new favourite serum. It’s perfect for anyone with dull skin, hyperpigmentation, or just wants a boost of radiance. If you have oily skin, maybe skip this or use it only at night because of the slow absorption. Look, here's the thing: if you've got oily skin, you'll probably hate it.
The Verdict:
* Buy Again? 100% YES!
* Perfect For: Dull, tired skin; uneven skin tone; anyone wanting a brighter complexion.
* Not For: Maybe not the best for super oily skin.
Pros:
* Gorgeous, silky texture
* Noticeably brightens skin
* Reduces the appearance of dark spots
* Affordable!
Cons:
* Takes a while to absorb
* Might be too rich for very oily skin
