Why it's great: Vitamin C is one of the most potent anti-aging ingredients, as it protects skin from daily aggressors and brightens tone. "This is a wonderful vitamin C serum, and it actually works!" writes one Ulta.com reviewer. "I have been using it for two weeks and there is a very noticeable glow and evenness in tone to my skin. I use it in the AM and before bed, under my daily moisturizer. The serum is very light, not greasy or irritating, and a little goes a long way."

Why it's great: Is there anyone who likes the look of large pores? This serum is jam-packed with sake, which tightens pores and makes skin look less greasy. "After it absorbs lightning fast, your skin feels smooth, silky and fresh," writes one Ulta.com reviewer. "It immediately looks like you're wearing a matte, blurring or soft-focus primer, and the results are lasting." Adds another, "I have very oily skin that still gets acne sometimes. I have old acne scars, and overall redness on my cheeks, which is the area I usually break out on. This product has made makeup application so much better. I use it after I tone and moisturize, and before my primer. It instantly makes your skin feel like silk, and it has reduced the redness in my skin SO MUCH!"

Why it's great: Another superpopular anti-aging ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which is featured in this serum. It holds 1,000 times its weight in water, which allows it to plump up skin, blurring the look of wrinkles. "I love this serum!" raves one Ulta.com reviewer. "I've got horribly dry skin this winter season. After using this for nearly a week, the dry flaky patches are decreasing and the redness from the dry patches are beginning to fade."

Why it's great: This classic anti-aging serum is beloved by so many Ulta shoppers for good reason. "The faint fine lines I started to notice on my forehead are minimized," writes one Ulta.com reviewer, who says she's in her early 30s. "I started using it only at night, but because it absorbs so well I am able to use it in the morning before SPF and makeup too. I have combo skin and this doesn't make it oily at all." Another says it has a "great lightweight texture" and "absorbs very well."
