New York Post Composite If you thought the brand behind the internet’s favorite vitamin C serum was a one-hit wonder, think again.
There’s a reason TruSkin Vitamin C Face Serum has racked up thousands of glowing reviews and viral fame: (1) it’s affordable, (2) it’s effective and (3) it’s the best I’ve reviewed.
So when I discovered the brand also makes a $16 eye cream promising to de-puff, brighten and smooth, I kind of had a mini freakout on Amazon.
Meet the TruSkin Hyaluronic Acid Eye Cream, the under-the-radar sidekick to that cult-favorite serum. At just under $16, it feels almost suspiciously inexpensive for a product targeting one of the most high-maintenance areas of your face. But TruSkin’s formula is built around hydration-first ingredients like hyaluronic acid (technically a botanical alternative), vitamin B5 and antioxidants — aka the exact lineup you want when your under-eyes are in need of a refresh.
The texture is lightweight but still creamy enough to feel luxe, and it’ll sink in quickly without that greasy film that makes concealer slide right off. According to the brand, it’s designed to reduce the look of puffiness and dark circles while smoothing fine lines and keeping skin soft and supple.
And, after testing a full roster of eye creams, this one has nearly 2,000 reviews for making your under-eyes look a little more awake within minutes. Nothing dramatic, but enough to fake eight hours of sleep in a pinch.
It fits seamlessly into a routine anchored by that famous vitamin C serum. The serum brightens and evens tone, while the eye cream tackles hydration and puffiness, creating a low-effort, high-reward duo that doesn’t cost triple digits. It’s skincare math that *actually* makes sense.
Is it going to replace your $100 luxury eye cream? Probably not. But does it need to? Also no.
For the price, the TruSkin Hyaluronic Acid Eye Cream punches way above its weight, especially if you’re looking for a gentle, everyday formula that won’t irritate sensitive skin or your wallet. For the price, it’s next on my list to try, especially because I flock to anything with hyaluronic acid for hydration.
Bottom line: if the viral serum earned its spot on your shelf, this $16 eye cream deserves a cameo — at the very least.
A deal so good, I wrote all about it. At nearly 50% off, it’s one of the hair tools that rivals the Dyson Airwrap.
With two dozen under-eye masks in your cart, you’ll be treating self-care like a full-time job.
Want silky smooth strands? This hair mask is just shy of $20 and will help your locks look their best.
