HuffPost's shopping desk promotes a $20 TruSkin vitamin C serum, citing over 104,000 five-star Amazon reviews and buyer claims that it rivals serums costing up to $180. The article notes vitamin C is clinically linked to collagen production, then leans on unnamed 'experts' and user testimonials for the rest of the pitch.

The piece discloses that HuffPost may earn a commission on purchases made through its links, and that every product was 'handpicked' by its shopping team.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

A hundred and four thousand strangers agree, and the desk that told you so gets a cut of every bottle. That's not a review, that's a commission with a byline. Anybody who's ever had a cousin sell him vitamins out of a car trunk knows the difference between a testimonial and a paycheck, and the shoe leather on your face knows it too.
