"This is an affordable option for those who are looking to brighten skin tone and improve the appearance of dark spots," says Dr. Garshick of the cult favorite serum. "The addition of alpha-arbutin inside this product gradually reduces those spots over time, making it a great budget-friendly product you can use again and again."
You may have heard a lot about this buzzy brand on Instagram, but Dr. Garshick says this product lives up to the hype. "This lightweight serum contains a good concentration of vitamin C, other antioxidants, and fruit enzymes to help brighten the skin improving signs of aging and photo damage," she explains.
This reasonable vitamin C product doesn't skimp on the glow factor. "This facial hydrator contains a high concentration of vitamin C and other beneficial ingredients to help the skin," says Dr. Greenfield. "These ingredients include soothing chamomile and grape seed, which provides hydration to dull and dehydrated skin."
In addition to brightening, this serum is great for firming up your complexion, according to Dr. Tanya Kormeili, MD. "This serum works overtime to promote the regeneration and production of collagen and elastin," she tells TotalBeauty. "It is also formulated with a regenerative nutrient blend including, vitamin C 12 percent, propylene glycol, and L-ascorbic acid, which offers vital daytime support and protection."
Though pricey, this vitamin C-infused lotion is well-worth the investment. "This product contains a very stable form of vitamin C (THD ascorbate), as well as other potent antioxidants, such as vitamin E and coenzyme Q10," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Juliya Fisher, MD. "The squalene in this product also helps to hydrate the skin, and because of this, some patients (depending on their skin type) may not need to use an additional moisturizer."
