Collagen Peptide* Facial Serum

"The $15.99 hydrating serum. Just don't expect collagen magic."

Our take

The short answer

TruSkin's Collagen Peptide Facial Serum is a budget hydrating serum. Topical collagen mostly sits on the surface and helps skin hold moisture; it doesn't add collagen to your skin. At $15.99, it's a fine hydration step for anyone on a tight budget.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it
It's inexpensive and simple. A good hydrating layer under moisturizer if you're building a ritual from scratch.
Skip it if
You want a product with strong evidence for lines. Sunscreen and a retinoid come first.
The catch
The name oversells it a little: collagen in a serum is a hydrator, not a builder.
