A shopper said they were mistaken for being decades younger thanks to the formula.
When I was younger, I wanted people to think I was older. I was pretty mature from an early age, so everyone always thought I was the older sibling — even though my sister and I are four years apart. But as I got older, I wanted the opposite; I wanted people to think I was younger, not because of how I acted, but rather because of how I looked (ahem, youthful, baby-soft skin similar to what I had in my early 20s).
Of course, time and age does, naturally, impact skin, and during a period of time, mine was looking particularly rough — literally. A change in lifestyle, location (moving from Minnesota to NYC), and higher levels of stress did some damage, with fine lines becoming more prominent on my forehead. Once I got my lifestyle under control, focused on healthy eating again, and implemented a few staples into my skincare routine, one being the True Botanicals Chebula Active Serum I’m about to wax poetic about, my skin went from rough and wrinkled to plump and smooth. Pinky promise. The best part? It’s on sale for you (and only you) with the code INSTYLE20 at checkout.
Anything from celeb-loved True Botanicals is going to change your skin (there’s a reason so many celebs swear by its best-selling face oil, which I also love!) In my opinion, the Chebula Active Serum is the easiest, most low-key addition to your routine — but it’s high-key going to change your skin for the better, as it’s packed with game-changing Chebula, an antioxidant-packed fruit “that’s known to target five signs of aging,” per the brand. This means it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (check), evens out skin tone (check), smooths out dry, rough texture (check), and firms and brightens skin (check).

After using it for just a few days, I noticed a difference in my overall skin, and shoppers who’ve tested it IRL agree, too. One called it “miracle in vial,” and I hardcore agree. “Once I started to use this, it was a game changer… [People] say I look 35, but in two months I’ll be 60. It’s like magic in a bottle,” the reviewer continued. Looking three decades younger than your actual age? That’s a major win.
Other shoppers have said it’s very “thirst quenching,” noting that people have noticed a significant increase in the glowiness of their skin, while others mention they have a major reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and redness. I agree with all this, and when you use the Chebula serum, you probably will, too. It’s highly effective, so it’s no wonder the brand has sold more than 1 million bottles since launching in 2021.
While the 20 percent off code only works on the Chebula serum, you should still consider adding a few more True Botanicals staples to your lineup for the season ahead, including the new Phyto-Retinol Sleep Serum I swear by, too, and the popular Pure Radiance Oil countless celebs love.
