It's no secret that PureWow readers adore SkinCeuticals' C E Ferulic serum—a product praised for its ability to minimize signs of aging and even out complexions. Unfortunately, that hefty $182 price tag probably doesn't fit into everyone's monthly beauty budget. Lucky for you, I found the most affordable alternative in the TruSkin Vitamin C serum (was $49, now $21), and it just might become your new favorite Amazon purchase—especially while it's on sale during Prime Day 2024, from July 16 through July 17. If you need more convincing, here's why you need to add this serum to your your beauty routine.

While one of the biggest benefits of the TruSkin Vitamin C serum is its wallet-friendly cost, it's also packed with tons of skin-nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and, just like the SkinCeuticals formula, a beneficial combination of vitamin C and vitamin E, which studies show may protect skin from free radicals while boosting overall brightness, hydration and even the production of collagen. The serum is also vegan and cruelty-free certified by Leaping Bunny and is formulated without parabens, harsh chemicals or fragrances to avoid skin irritation.

The serum has earned more than *94,000* 5-star ratings on Amazon, with plenty of reviewers comparing it to its pricier counterpart. One buyer raves, "I ran out of SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, which I love, but didn’t want to [splurge] around Christmas. After reading glowing reviews, I gave this serum a try. Wow! Just as effective for a fraction of the cost. It smooths your skin and reduces the bumpy texture of aging skin." Another shopper shares, "You get a clean, brightened, natural and bit of a dewy look with this product. Plus, it is consistently gentle...It is truly a good, clean daily serum to have on hand! By the way, it gently smooths the back of your hands, too."

Reviewers also claim that the lightweight formula works wonders on their age spots and milia, so it sounds like a total no-brainer to add to our routines. Whether you're in-between SkinCeuticals refills or are looking for a gentle-yet-effective alternative that won't break the bank, there's never been a better time to grab a bottle of the TruSkin Vitamin C serum for yourself while it's more than 50 percent off.
