So when we find a budget-friendly Vitamin C for all skin types, we want to shout it from the rooftops.

This Vitamin C serum is a powerful serum to boost dull and tired skin quickly. Made of a bunch of different sought-after ingredients like Vitamin C & E, Aloe Leaf Juice, Jojoba Oil, and hyaluronic acid, this serum is a must for those who want to brighten their skin easily.

Made for daily use, it should be applied after cleansing and toning. (Make sure that you don’t apply more than a nickel-sized amount to your face and neck!)

With more than 12,000 reviews on Amazon and a 4.3-star rating, this product is something that reviewers get passionate about. “I’m almost finished with my first bottle (just bought my second) and my skin looks more radiant than it has in years!” One Amazon reviewer wrote. “The discoloration on my cheeks and the melasma on the bridge of my nose and upper lip is so much lighter.”

One shopper said it’s “Magic Serum during pregnancy,” adding, “I am currently 6 months pregnant and one of the battles I have been fighting from day 1 is acne. Prior to pregnancy, my breakouts were limited to that time of the month with one or two to deal with but with pregnancy its been nonstop and so many they almost look like freckles. I spoke to my doctor who said as long as it didn’t contain retinol, I would be fine so I took a chance and bought this. After 1 week, 1 little itty bitty week, there was a noticeable difference in the amount of zits I was getting. Now two weeks in and I am 90% clear. I haven’t noticed any change on the dark spot I have on my cheek but this stuff has been a miracle worker on my skin in clearing it up and, yes making it look brighter.”

Another shopper called it a “GAME CHANGER,” saying, “This product really helped kick start my skin care journey. I suffered With acne all over my face. Dark spots that wouldn’t go away no matter what i tried.”
