With thousands of painfully expensive face serums on the market, trying to find a bottle that gives you the biggest bang for your buck can be tough. Do you go for something moisturizing? Brightening? Anti-aging?

Well, according to thousands of Amazon reviewers, you can find all of those benefits in one potent vitamin C serum—and it only costs $20.

With nearly 10,000 reviews and a 4.3 star rating on Amazon, TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum is the top selling facial serum and the fourth top-seller of beauty products on the site overall. Why? Those who have tried it (with the before and after photos to prove it!) claim that it fights acne, brings a glow to the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and even brightens dark under-eye circles.

That magic ingredient? Vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant. “A vitamin C serum helps protect your skin from sun damage, stimulates collagen production, brightens skin complexion, and prevents and repairs skin aging,” dermatologist Shari Sperling, MD, of Sperling Dermatology in New Jersey recently told Prevention.

Cruelty free and formulated without fragrances or parabens, this serum also packs skin-plumping hyaluronic acid, nourishing vitamin E, soothing aloe, anti-inflammatory witch hazel, and hydrating jojoba oil.

But just how effective is it? One reviewer wrote: “Best best product! I have been using for 6 months and my skin looks amazing! I truly feel I look 10 years younger!,” Another 71-year-old woman claimed that the product has made her skin “softer” and gave it a “luminescence that wasn’t present before.” Another woman said the results are unbelievable” and that “with or without makeup, my skin is bright, smooth, and my spots are disappearing.”

So if you’re looking for a new do-it-all skincare product, give this one a go. Because the formula is so potent, just test a small patch of your face if your skin tends to be super sensitive. For 20 bucks, you don’t have much to lose!
