If you’re already devoted to TruSkin’s bestselling vitamin C serum — the one that seems to magically make you look more awake, more even-toned and just generally more expensive — then I’m going to say this with confidence: you need the brand’s Vitamin C Face Wash Cleanser in your cart, too.
Hear me out. I’m a big believer that great skin starts before the serum dropper even touches your face. If you’re investing in brightening, glow-boosting ingredients, why wouldn’t you want that same energy in your cleanser? It’s like warming up before a workout. You wouldn’t skip it, and your skin shouldn’t either.
There’s also a secret Amazon coupon to make the most of your next brightening purchase. Wink, wink.
If you’re a serum loyalist like I am, this is the synergy. The formula is built around vitamin C, which means you’re layering your routine strategically instead of randomly mixing products and hoping for the best. It helps wash away makeup, sunscreen and the general grime of the day without that tight, squeaky-clean feeling.
After ranking this serum as the best vitamin C brightener overall, I stand by this brand.
Instead, you get a fresh, clean canvas that feels balanced — which is exactly what your beloved serum wants to sink into.
And if you love that signature TruSkin glow, this just amplifies it. Think of it as setting the stage. The cleanser preps, the serum performs. When your routine works together instead of competing, results tend to show up faster (and look better!)
I also love that it’s an uncomplicated cleanser on the market. Void of perfumed drama and an unnecessary 12-step instruction manual, it’s the kind of straightforward, effective product that fits seamlessly into your morning rush and your nighttime wind-down.
For less than $15, this cleanser is an easy add-on that makes your routine feel more cohesive…and a little more elevated.
