As someone who barely has five minutes to dedicate to prepping her face before makeup every morning, I am limited in how many one-trick, pricey products I can invest in. For a long time, I was spending more than I should on Sunday Riley’s C.E.O Glow and Drunk Elephant’s C-Firma Vitamin C Day Serum, but I wasn’t getting the results I expected for spending as much as I was. I needed something more effective and more affordable.
I’m a big champion of Korean skincare products, so when I heard about Seoul Ceuticals $20 Day Glow Serum, I was curious, but also doubtful. Could something for under $20 really revitalize my skin when the $80 products could not?
After washing my face and applying Thayers toner, I use about three drops of the quick-absorbing Seoul Ceuticals serum on my face and neck before topping it off with SuperGoop sunscreen and a Kiehl’s moisturizer. It’s super simple to apply and does its job effectively. Though I personally don’t have any acne scars, the reviews rave that this serum helps reduce their appearance.
My super sensitive skin, thankfully, hasn’t broken out using this product either, so I know I’ve found something I can keep using in the long term. And while this product isn’t the Fountain of Youth, I feel like I’ve found a few drops of it for under $20.
