What’s not to love about CeraVe? The brand is powered by gentle yet efficacious ingredients and backed by your favorite dermatologists. This vitamin C serum costs about as much as two bottles of orange juice, but the results last longer than the taste of the final sip. Brightening vitamin C works in tandem with nourishing ceramides and hyaluronic acid to whip dull, stressed skin into shape.
Key ingredients: L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), hyaluronic acid, ceramides

Our expert says: “Who is a good candidate for vitamin C? In general, all skin types and skin tones can benefit from a vitamin C serum. I love CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum because it’s formulated with 10 percent L-ascorbic acid, the most active form of vitamin C, and the right concentration to deliver peak benefits, like improved skin tone and texture. It’s also fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and allergy-tested, so it’s effective yet gentle.”—Dr. Charles Puza
