TruSkin serum works harder than your ex ever did — oh and it's 56% off
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. In this gilded jungle of serums with price tags that sound more like rent payments than skincare staples, finding a $20 bottle that doesn't ghost you after three uses feels like swiping right on someone who not only texts back but also shows up — on time, moisturized, and maybe even with a dog and a home upstate. TruSkin's Vitamin C Serum, a two-ounce glow potion the Post has long-time adored — with over 150,000 outstanding Amazon reviews and a cult following that speaks for itself. Let's be real: This serum isn't that flashy. The bottle doesn't necessarily win many minimalist design points, and it doesn't pretend its ingredients were hand-foraged at sunrise on a Himalayan cliff. What it does have is a straight-talking trio of Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin E. A powerhouse blend that politely tells dark spots and fine lines, 'It's closing time'. Think of it as the Olivia Pope of skincare: handles crises (sun damage, hyperpigmentation, laugh lines that aren't very funny), leaves no trace, and works best when layered under SPF and a fun-flavored latte. I've shelled out for serums that arrived in velvet boxes and smelled like regret. I've bought into creams that needed a mini spatula and a prayer to apply. Most of them left me with nothing but an overdrafted bank account and a faint scent of lavender. But TruSkin? It's refreshingly low-maintenance, wildly dependable, and gives your face that rested, radiant look (no spa weekend or Facetune required). Bonus: It's cruelty-free, vegan, and suspiciously unscented, which, for skincare aficionados, is like finding a New York apartment with no broker's fee and an in-unit washer-dryer. If your face is looking like a map of the MTA lines, dark zones, and a general sense of chaos, this serum is your express train to smoother, brighter, 'I woke up like this' territory. Just don't be surprised if people start asking for your skincare routine…or your ID.

It quickly turned into a critical and ratings hit, and as a result, it led to as many as 124 episodes across its run. Fans were originally able to watch all of these episodes via Netflix for quite some time from 2014 to 2020. Subscribers no doubt became comfortable with having the series to stream and watch as much as they wanted during this time.

"She Changed My Life": Kerry Washington Shared How Playing Olivia Pope On "Scandal" Shifted The Way Hollywood Viewed Her, And The Way She Viewed Herself
Kerry Washington is opening up about the pivotal role Scandal played in her career and her life. While promoting her new action-packed thriller Shadow Force, Kerry stopped by Big Boy's Neighborhood to reflect on some of her past projects. She shared the impact the popular political drama series had on fans and how it altered the way she was perceived in Hollywood. For seven seasons, Kerry starred as Olivia Pope, a former media consultant turned powerful D.C. crisis manager. With her no b.s. attitude, her ability to fix any situation, and her steamy forbidden relationship with the president were the perfect ingredients for a must-see series. ABC Thursdays were never the same. The show, which was created by Shonda Rhimes, was extremely successful and is cited for changing TV. "I guess for me, before Scandal, I really thought of myself as what we call a character actor, you know where I would kind of like disappear into different roles," Kerry replied after being asked about the "gift" and "curse" that came with being on such a lucrative series. "And people never really connected — I mean, Black people did [laughs] — but other people didn't really connect it like the girl from Ray was the same girl from The Last King of Scotland, was the same girl from Save the Last Dance. The characters were like their own being. Scandal changed that." "Olivia Pope was a household name. I was a household name. I'm really lucky actually that I've been able to do work after Scandal that still has an impact — shows like Little Fires Everywhere and films like American Son. I've still been able to do work that's different from Olivia Pope and people go on that ride with me." The series helped push her career onto paths she didn't even know were possible at the time, including the launch of her production company, Simpson Street, which focuses on broadcast, cable, and digital projects. "I'm grateful for everything she gave me. She changed my life. She changed my career. She's given me the ability to be a producer; to create work and opportunities for other people to work, but I'm also grateful that I still get to take risks and be other people." The award-winning actor added that she truly loves what she does, partly because of how happy and inspired her work has made others. "I know how to say Scandal in so many languages because that show was such a hit all over the world. I'll be walking through a little tiny market in Guatemala, and somebody will say 'Escandalo!' It's great. I'm so grateful for what I do." Scandal will definitely go down as one of the greatest and wildest primetime series of all time! I was first introduced to Kerry Washington in 2000 with the coming-of-age drama Our Song, and I've been following her career ever since. Watching her grow as an actor and businesswoman has been an extremely beautiful and enriching experience.
