The short answer

TruSkin's Hyaluronic Acid Serum pairs hyaluronic acid with a botanical alternative from cassia seed, plus cica, aloe, vitamin C and green tea. It's worth it if you want an affordable hydration step that layers under everything. It's a clear, lightweight, non-sticky gel.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it
It's simple, cheap and easy to use under moisturizer and SPF. The gel texture spreads easily and doesn't feel tacky.
Skip it if
Your skin reacts to essential oils or witch hazel.
The catch
Witch hazel is high on the ingredient list and there's geranium oil too, which sensitive skin may not love.
