Obagi Professional C Serum 20% ($125, originally $142)
With 20 percent pure vitamin C, this is a powerful antioxidant serum that is also very hydrating. If you're dealing with dark spots and uneven skin tone, around five drops every morning of this serum can help. This is best for those with normal to oily skin types who can handle the strength of this potent serum. "I have very sensitive, fair skin. I also have spent most of my life outdoors for work and play. Needless to say, my skin reflects my activities. I purchased this serum after talking to a dermatologist. She explained that the Vt C will help to break up the brown spot pigment and will help improve the hydration of my skin. I couldn't ever seem to find any product that would 'sink into' my skin. This one does the trick! And, typically things bother my eczema-prone skin, and I have the added complexity of things breaking out my sensitive skin. But I have been so impressed with this serum because I am seeing nothing but positive results," a reviewer writes.
