Herbivore Nova 15% Vitamin C + Turmeric Brightening Serum ($65)
Herbivore's Nova serum is a gentle vitamin C serum perfect for those with sensitive skin. It's packed with active ingredients meant to tackle dark spots and uneven skin tone, including 15 percent THD vitamin C, a highly stable form of vitamin C; turmeric-root extract, an anti-inflammatory; and arbutin. It's something you can use in your morning and nighttime routine.
Editor Quote: "The serum has a creamy, silky texture — almost like a lightweight moisturizer. It feels hydrating on my skin but absorbs quickly without a sticky or tacky residue. . . . It smells exactly like pure turmeric, which I love. After using the serum for just a few days, I already noticed a big difference in my overall skin tone. Because of my sensitive, reactive skin, I sometimes get irritation-induced breakouts. However, with this formula, my breakouts subsided and healed. With consistent use for 15 days, I noticed subtle yet promising changes in my skin. My dark spots were slowly fading, and my complexion was getting more even-toned." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, commerce
