TruSkin
TruSkin Vitamin C Serum
A budget-accessible vitamin C serum — worth checking the ingredient list for stabilizers like ferulic acid, since pure L-ascorbic acid degrades quickly once opened.
An accessible entry point into bakuchiol for anyone pregnant (confirm with your doctor) or unable to tolerate standard retinoids.
