I've listed below my old skincare routine to my new one. I feel strongly about taking great care of my skin and feel I have come up with a great solid routine after searching so long scouring the internet for adcvice. Hopefully this helps any of you that are also struggling with a routine. (I found all these products on Florenmolamarts by the way). I truly feel my skin looks amazing and has a glow to it now that it didn't have before. I do think TruSkin vitamin C serum is playing a major role in that. Based of my research it has so many good ingredients in it that are perfect for anti-aging and protection. All the other new products are part of my updated skin routine that I recently purchased and so far I've liked them all.
If you suffer from any time of acne or hormonal breakouts use the gly-sal 5-2 pads or even the stronger ones. They have helped keep my face clear so far! <3
Old morning routine:
1.) cleanse face with Cerave foaming cleanser (perfect for sensitive skin)
2.) Tone face with Witch hazel toner
3.) Moisturize face with Cerave facial moisturizing lotion spf 30
4.) Sunscreen for face (Pacifica)
Old night time routine:
1.) Cleanse Face
2.) Apply tretinoine
New morning routine:
1.) Cleanse face (Cerave foaming cleanser)
2.) Use a gly-sal 5-2 pad on areas of face that tend to breakout (I cut the pads in half to use it in the evening too)
3.) After about a minute or two I use the TruSkin vitamin C serum on my face and neck
4.) After a minute I use Pure Biology Premium Total Eye Cream Serum around my eyes
5.) I let that sit for a minute or two and then apply Supergoop! Anti-aging eye cream spf 37
6.) Finish off with Cerave facial moisturizing lotion spf 30
7.) After I will also apply Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face sunscreen spf 50 (this sunscreen has 21.6% zinc oxide) which is the most important ingredient in sunscreen. This protects 100% against UVA and UVB rays. I will reapply this throughout the day before I go outside or any car drives longer than 15 minutes
New night time routine:
1.) Cleanse face (Cerave foaming cleanser)
2.) Apply the other half gly-sal 5-2 pad
3.) After a min or two apply a pea sized amount of Tretinoine
4.) Apply Pure Biology Total Eye Cream Serum around my eyes (pea size is enough for both eyes)
5.) Apply Besito advanced neck cream
6.) I make sure to wait 15 minutes before apply my night time moisturizer (Cerave night renewing cream) this gives the Tretinoine time to settle in.
I have the concerns with the packaging though. My second and third bottle had issue with lid. As it does not close properly, the product oxidizes quickly and results in waste of money.
I want to buy it again but due to the lid issue, I am hesitant.
The one issue I had was with the seller. I ordered the 2oz version (and paid over $10 for shipping alone) and received a 1oz. I had to contact Florenmolamarts so that the seller would agree to send another 1oz bottle (for the total of 2oz) and had to keep nagging the seller for over 3 weeks before they actually sent it. They sent it with another different bottle (maybe as a sorry for the wait) but by then Florenmolamarts had already processed a refund.
I would recommend this product, but maybe get it from another seller or a store near you.
I spend A LOT of money on medical grade skin care, and I have found this Vitamin C serum to be equally effective and beneficial for my skin, meaning I get the same benefits as higher priced products at an affordable price. Having tried multiple different brands of Vitamin C serum, I can say that this one not only works well but doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Yes, I would recommend using this product, without any hesitation.
They do exactly what it says it will do in a matter of a couple weeks... Those Dark Marks had been on my face forever. I've tried other products that didn't work, so I covered up with make-up...No More ..TruSkin Is The Truth
I am a fan for sure as a little goes a long way.
Also, I got email from the seller asking about the product. When I told them about the kind of product I received, the seller agreed to give another free bottle. But I did not get it until now.
Be careful to buy this product.
I love the way it absorbs into my skin without leaving any sticky residue
I am using alot of products so cant say how it works but its a good purchase for hydration
Its thick but absorbs quickly
Give it a try
I was feeling a little shabby and wanted to boost my skin care routine. I believed all the reviews claiming this was the best and decided to splurge (because this was a splurge for me) and treat myself. I have used this serum religiously (and exactly as directed) for exactly 2 months, and I don't notice a difference in my skin at all.
I am 34 without major skin issues, a little bit of unevenness and some dark spots. I really just wanted something that was going to brighten up my skin a little bit...which is the very least that this product claimed to do.
I wanted to love this serum...but it was a big womp womp.
Ever since I started use this, my skin looks younger!?
For the dark spot, not sure if it got lighter like works for other people. I will continue to use to see better result and will update.
Before consistently using this on my face, I was actually using it on my stomach (post pregnancy) and the results on my stomach were just as surprising.
I love that this serum also wears well under makeup, and I use this instead of a moisturizer. In the past, I have had trouble with consistency of this product and upon contacting the company, they immediately sent me out a new one.
This is an everyday, gotta have it item for my getting ready- and would recommend to anyone!
So, to anyone that buys this. My advice is to stay consistent and use it every day. It doesn’t work overnight, so be patient and hopefully you will see some results.
I wash my skin and apply it on fresh skin then give it a few seconds to seep in then apply a moisturizer on top.
It’s a good product when you buy a second bottle before you finish the first one out of fear haha!
Good product
felt it was worth a second try.
Sincerely,
Kristy
I definitely plan on trying other products from TruSkin.
Update- 5/23/2023
While I still haven’t changed my mind with how I feel about the product(s)- I was using the whole line of cleanser, serum, day/night creams, I do wish to give a shout out to the customer service for this company.
Erica reached out to me, and was genuinely concerned that the products didn’t work for me. I was offered a refund on the products, so I didn’t really lose out on anything except the irritation I experienced on my face & neck! LOL…
She also recommended other products I may be interested in, but not in a “pushy” way, that would make a person uncomfortable. I would give this company, and it’s products a try- which I’m going to do again, just based on their great CS!
My big issue with this is how thin it is. It dissolves into your skin very quickly and you have to use a lot sometimes to feel like you're getting a good coverage. Most serums I used before have a gel-like ness to them that feels like you're really getting the coverage. Often I feel like most if it melts into my hands before it gets to my face. Even applying it directly to my face doesn't help.
This is also quite annoying cause it's only 1 fl. oz so you end up going through it very quickly and it gets quite expensive. I suggest past on this one. I'm using the Derma-E now and that at least has better coverage.
Me gusta como tensa y refresca la piel
No sé todavía si da resultados pero lo seguiré usando!
I like the effect.
The product is fine. I don’t really know much about skincare and I don’t see any major differences. It doesn’t irritate my skin or react poorly with my moisturiser. It doesn’t have a strong smell and it’s easy to use. I’ve been using it for a year already and my skin seems to be doing fine.
Update - I am updating this because the company contacted me and asked if they could be of assistance. They ended up sending a different product free of charge which really makes the skin under my eyes feel soft. The customer service was terrific.
Update: after 6 months use of this product, I feel I can see my face brighter and smoother, my acne is disappeared too. I apply it every morning, and then I use sunscreen on top.
It dries into your skin fast so it's not left oily if that's a concern.
I do use it with other oils for extreme moisturizer benefits, as I tend to have normal/dry skin depending on weather. I'll update after longer usage if there are any changes.
One thing is that the pipette is sooo fragile! It breaks easily! Such a downside that can be fixed so easily by making the pipettes higher quality...
Turns out that I used a different Vit C product dating back to 2009, and then switched to this brand in 2016. The seller/manufacturer did reach out to me to offer a refund for the product, which I appreciated. They also offered to resend me a new bottle or something else. I opted for something else since I had already purchased another Vit C serum to replace this brand. I’m adding a star because this is excellent customer service. And I hope to return back to this brand another try when my current bottle with another brand is empty.

Original review:
I’ve been using this exact product since 2009, back when it was $12-15. My most recent repurchase seems to be either a bad batch or just the brand coming down on quality. Something must have changed with the formula or potency because it does NOT have that same brightening effect on me. It still gives a decent moisturize base but not much else. Maybe I got my first bad batch in a decade? Idk but at $35, it ain’t cheap anymore to repurchase just to figure it out. Disappointed.
It’s ok but not enough for me to buy again. I’m so sorry for this review I’m bummed that I could not do a better review for them but I have to speak truths
His face resembles a red tomato. He’s tried all sorts of stuff to bring the redness down with not much luck. We read in the Florenmolamarts reviews of this product there was a woman who said she had good luck in using it to “cure” her Rosacea issue. I doubt it “cured” that issue it but suspect it went a long way to getting it under control.
So our friend starts using this product as directed on his face twice per day, morning and night (followed by a Vitamin C based re hydrating lotion) and I’ll be damned but within 2 days the redness on his face had been reduced by maybe 75 to 80% or so.
Pretty amazing. Equally interesting, his facial color seems to have “smoothed out” for lack of a better phrase. The facial color, sans a whole bunch of redness was much more evenly spread out on his face as opposed to before where all the red blotches were uneven in color and in their location on his face.
He is a believer now and will probably be using this stuff on his face until he goes off to meet Jesus. Anyways, I consider that a hell of a success story for $20 bucks and using just a few drops morning and night.
I have heard for a long time that vitamin c and retinol cannot be used together. That they cancel each other out. It's completely untrue. My problem is that I've heard it so many times. I believed it to be fact regardless of the sources I heard it from. Which is basically word of mouth by other women who do not hold a dermatological degree of any sort. I did my own research. And actual skin care experts that hold a degree say the opposite. Retinol CAN be used with vitamin c products. Successfully. They don't cancel each other out. They work beautifully together. And vitamin c actually helps retinol work BETTER by stabilizing it and extending its effectiveness. It turns out that using retinol without vitamin c or any other potent antioxidant is keeping your skin from reaping all the benefits of using retinol!!! Which is why this serum is so important in your skin care regimen. You know all those expensive anti aging moisturizers you've been blowing your money on? Well........without using this serum or any other serum close to this that has vitamin c in it prior makes your fancy skin cream ineffective. And we all want to get the most out of the money we spend to make our skin look fabulous. Don't we?
I've also seen reviews on here about this product complaining about the color change in the serum. Did they not read about the product? I states very clearly that it's normal to see variations of color. Clear or cloudy. All depending on the time of the year the ingredients are harvested contribute. And it is very clearly addressed in the description of this product. Pretty much cancelling out any of the bad reviews made on this product.
Ladies. If you want to make the most out of your skin care products. Read up on them first. That's why the info is there. So If anyone has any complaints on this product. They are not using it correctly!!!!!
I've included a photo in the first week of use. I will post more down the road. I am 40 years old. I smoked heavily for over 20 years(quit January 2017) and drank pretty bad too for 13 years before I got sober 7 years ago. My skin was terrible!!!! I have absolutely no makeup on. Just moisturizer and carmex lip balm. I use this product with a retinol moisturizer. I also take collagen daily as well. Hopefully this review helps clear up the myths of using certain anti aging products together. And their (in)effectiveness. Us ladies gotta stick together in this war on aging and kick some wrinkle butt!!!! Lol!💪💪💪!!!
I reached out to the seller letting her know it didn't work for my skin and I was going to return it. She responded right away with the full ingredient list because she thought I could potentially be allergic/sensitive to an ingredient or perhaps I was sensitive to the vitamin c strength. She even worked with me to get a full refund on the product and apologized the serum didn't work out for me!
If you have sensitive skin I highly recommend doing a patch test/slowly incorporate the serum into your routine. But if it doesn't work out for you, the seller has your best interest in mind and will be happy to help you!
I have been using this serum for almost two years now, and I have to say I have noticed a huge reduction of dark spots from old acne scars! I use it every night after my toner, rubbing it on with damp fingertips.
Due to my skin sensitivity, I don't use this product in the AM as direct sunlight seems to turn me bright red. My biggest complaint is the topper of the bottle, Ive been through 3-4 bottles, and the last 2 I have received do not close all the way, they close on an angle so you don't get a true closed seal which makes them leak. If you close it too tightly the top pops right off...please fix this so I can continue being a happy customer!!!!
I have been searching for a few cheaper alternatives to Mad Hippie Vitamin C, which I absolutely adore. TruSkin is about $10-12 cheaper, so I decided to give it a go. It's good, it's not quite as hydrating and smooth as I had hoped for, but for $19, I think its a VERY GOOD option. *I have combination skin, with dry all around and an oily t-zone. I tend to gravitate towards more moisturizing products.
It's better than some other Vitamin C serums I have tried that are WAY more expensive. I prefer this for the morning when I don't need quite as much moisture. I have finicky skin that can break out with new products and this product did not cause any breakouts or discoloration. All and all I think it's worth the money and great alternative for people with normal skin with little sun damage. Definitely worth trying.
It ruined my beauty case 🥺 The lid threads are not secure. I tried not to over tighten, because it's plastic against glass. I know better. But tonight I discovered half the bottle oxidized on the bottom of my case. I twisted the top back on and it literally popped off in front of me as I was cleaning the mess. Kinda startled me. My room is the same temp, no hot to cold or anything. The case is not moved or shaken all day. I pick it up, move it to my lap and back. There should be no reaction to pressure change either. I noticed the lid never screwed on completely straight, but threaded enough to seal properly for days before putting it in this case. When I picked it up tonight, from its glutinous puddle, the lid was completely undone. Be careful of where/how you store it.
EDITED TO ADD: Updated to 4 stars instead of 3 for great customer service, they have reached out to me to give me a refund and helped me to find a different product that might work better for me. Giving them a 2nd shot!
I was looking for a natural product, that would not only help the condition of my skin, but also make it feel more healthy as well. I have a very rare, very serious diseases for which I have to have chemotherapy regularly, and I take many, many medications . I'm a 31 year old, who REALLY hadn't started putting too much effort into skincare up until recently. I already have the Vitamin C moisturizer and love it, so I decided to try the serum, along with the eye gel Truskin offers (I think it's referred to as Super Eye Cream Gel, and it's amazing as well; my under eye area is so smooth and my dark circls have lightened so much, in only about a months time.... And the results began immediately!).
Both products feel amazing on application and absorb quickly, and fully(no problems with makeup application after use!). Well, my skin did a "purge," I believe, which is apparently quite common when you begin any new skin care regimen, and I do already get cystic acne right before and during my monthly cycle around my chin, but I thought I'd email the company and just ask if possibly I'd chosen the wrong product for my partular skin type. I gave a little description of what my skin was doing, along with a little background information about myself to give them a better idea so they could advise me better, and I asked if maybe the tea tree serum would be more appropriate since I had the acne.
What I've received from Erica in return was so unexpected and so kind; the definition of above and beyond. Before anything else, her first instinct was to have me ensure with my doctor that these ingredients were ok for me to use with my treatment. It was something I hadn't even considered, and on top of that it no was a complete shock; a wonderful person, who was much more concerned about me as an individual, rather than making a sale! As I'm sure you all know, that's rare these days! I checked with my doctor and my care team, and got back with her to let her know they didn't see anything wrong with me using the products... Infact they said they would highly recommend them because of how natural the products are! And though the company did NOTHING wrong, and I myself had mostly likely just chosen the wrong product for my individual skin type (or who knows; I'm still entertaining the idea of using both, alternating days maybe!), Erica then offered me a complementary bottle if the tea tree super serum (which was more expensive than this product...and again, they had no mistake to rectify!). They had done nothing wrong; she was just that kind, and wanted me to be able to try it! What a kind, honest and caring company! And thus far, ALL of the products are so amazing, and I hope to soon collect the entire line! I truly could not say enough good things about the products themselves, along with the unbelievably honest and caring customer service I have received. Definitely purchase this product!!
Note; I've seen another brand on Florenmolamarts being advertised, sometimes alongside Truskin naturals' products, having very similar packaging and very similar names and claims. I didn't discuss this with Erica, but I have noticed it and i did mention it when discussing with my care team to make sure they were reviewing the correct products, and they were in agreement with me; that whatever those products are.... They are NOT the same as TruSkin products and do not appear to be as safe, natural, or of high quality like these. So please make sure you don't add a knock off look alike to your cart (and this is not something I've been paid to do or even asked to do.... This is coming straight from my heart and the wonderful, touching experience I've had with this company!).
With or without makeup, my skin is bright, smooth and my spots are disappearing.
One other result i am sure a number of people have not noticed is that your palms get softer too, i guess the residue on the palms makes it soft and supple.
