Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum XL Refill 4 oz

All the research seems to point to the need for Vitamin C, and I have always found C and E to be good choices for my skin. There is an expensive serum with Vitamin C, E, and Ferulic Acid that everyone recommends. I just haven't been able to pull the trigger on the cost. I have used other products from Timeless before and liked them, so when a beauty influencer recommended this version stating she got the same results from this as the expensive brand, I thought I would try it. I did notice that the serum has helped my skin give a glowy, more youthful, brightening radiance. My freckles seem to be fading. This seems to be one of the best vitamin C serums on the market.This is a little pricey. It does leave your skin feeling sticky. I really hate the hot dog water smell ... MoreAll the research seems to point to the need for Vitamin C, and I have always found C and E to be good choices for my skin.

Best Vitamin C Serum

I worked in a salon and used SKC spending even with my discount nearly $100 for my Vitamin C serum. I appreciate the costs of R&D but at some point charging that much for skincare becomes unethical. Enter Timeless. Not only is their Vitamin C serum affordable, it’s stabilized with vitamin E, it has the correct pH, I can get it in a 20% strength formulation, it’s hydrating with hyaluronic acid, it’s not fragranced, it creates a great base for makeup or sunscreen, and it’s in an opaque pump bottle - which keeps the product fresh and is way easier to use than a dropper. I’ll be using this for the rest of my life. Not sponsored I swear, I just think it’s time to give our hard earned dollars to the little guy, especially when the product is just as good or even better! ... MoreI worked in a salon and used SKC spending even with my discount nearly $100 for my Vitamin C serum.

Effective affordable vitamin C

I did lots of research before choosing this vitamin C serum when the brand I previously used was discontinued. I like that this one has simple minimal ingredients, contains ferulic acid and vitamin E to help stabilize the vitamin C so it’s more effective, contains hyaluronic acid for extra hydration, doesn’t cause breakouts, is affordable, and is reliably available every time re-order. I’ve been using it for 2 yrs and have seen a big difference in brightness and hydration. When I went a few weeks without it, my skin didn’t look as bright or even and new hyperpigmentation took longer to fade. I also noticed make up goes on smoother with it. I recommend trying the 10% before 20% because it’s more gentle but still effective. My only issue is that the bottle tends to ... MoreI did lots of research before choosing this vitamin C serum when the brand I previously used was discontinued.

My only issue is that the bottle tends to leak around the pump even when stored upright in its original box in the fridge. I haven’t tried the new glass bottle yet which may have improved this issue. Despite that, I love this serum and will continue to use it :)

Excellent stuff.

I love this in my skincare routine, which includes Cerave moisturizing wash, 20% VitC w/ E and Ferulic acid, CoQ10, Matryxl 3000, and Cerave moisturizing lotion in the mornings, and another Cerave wash, Matryxl Synthe 6, tret and ELF’s Holy Hydration in the evening - it’s very soothing to my skin with the tret, but not supposed to be used with lactic acid, so naturally, the first time I used the lactic, I beelined right to it. Zero stars, DNR. I was sad all day.This is such a great lineup of anti-oxidants and peptides for my skin - I know what everything does, and my skin feels soothed, hydrated and healthy instead of the absolute DESERT it is naturally.

It’s a fast routine too, which is another thing I like.The C+ serum has never aggravated my somewhat sensitive skin at all, and I’ve seen surprisingly fast results in just a couple of weeks, but I’m obviously using it along with the lineup above. It’s worked beautifully for me.I usually add a mist of water and apply Hylauronic acid at will too - I’ve found that it helps my cuticle cream absorb more quickly as well (?!), but ymmv. I use a very old school standby called Healthy Hoof for that…I’ve tried many, but it’s the only one that knocked my ridges back, over time.

Good Ingredient Combination but Doesn't Match Page

While this Timeless SKing Care 20% Vitamin C... product does not contain exactly the same ingredients as on the product page, it does contain the essential ingredients. THe product I received has this list: Water, Ethoxydiglycol, Propanediol, L-Ascorbic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Alpha Tocopherol, Polysorbate 80, Panthenol, Ferulic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Benzyl alcohol, Dehydroacetic acidSo in addition to the Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E (tocopherol), it also contains Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) and Panthenol (pro vitamin 5, which soothes and hydrates).Despite the change, I am very happy with this formula. Let me point out it is a very watery formula, but does not feel the least bit oily or greasy. The air pump bottle is twice the size it needs ... MoreWhile this Timeless SKing Care 20% Vitamin C... product does not contain exactly the same ingredients as on the product page, it does contain the essential ingredients.

Let me point out it is a very watery formula, but does not feel the least bit oily or greasy. The air pump bottle is twice the size it needs to be for a 30mL (1 ounce) of product. There are two bottles. Store the one you are not using in the fridge. Frankly, if you are not going to use the first bottle it in a month, I would probably store it in a cool place or the fridge, too.The product has no fragrance added but does smell very vaguely like banana. The bottles look just like the photo. It came in two boxes, wrapped securely with bubble wrap.

I enjoy the sensory experience

I've been using this product religiously every morning before sunscreen for the past two and a half months. I leave it inside my fridge so it's cold when I apply it - very refreshing. Two pumps are enough for the face and neck. The texture feels nice on the skin and it dries quickly. The smell stops bothering you after a couple of weeks. I didn't have any major skin concerns so I bought it to try it out after seeing a lot of recommendations. My skin feels hydrated and plump after applying it. It does not make anything peel and didn't cause any breakouts. I bought two tubes and will use both until the end to keep tracking results. I estimate each product lasts about 3 months.

So far so good!

I’m a bit skincare obsessed, so I already have a pretty robust routine. Most of my products are from Dieux and Live Tinted and have worked wonders on my somewhat sensitive skin. As a result, I felt confident adding this in + the Timeless 100% squalane.Yes, the smell is a bit rough, but I layer the squalane + hydrating gel cream or moisturizer + SPF over it consistently, so it works for me. The first week, I tried using it every day, sometimes AM & PM, but my skin felt a bit dry and irritated. I now use it every other day in the morning.I have had some purging since starting 4 weeks ago, but that just tells me it’s doing its job (exfoliating) - just a few small pimples or cystic acne in the usual spots. It’s been going away in 2-3 days, and my skin does look ... MoreI’m a bit skincare obsessed, so I already have a pretty robust routine.

It’s been going away in 2-3 days, and my skin does look brighter once it’s cleared out. Hoping for more good results in the months to come. Definitely recommend the squalane with this! I even use it on my curly hair sometimes if it’s a bit frizzy.

The best skin care product I have ever used in my (long) life.

I have been using 20% Vit.C/E serum from Timeless for almost two years now. Since the very first application I was amazed by the effect it made on my skin. Importantly, I only use this serum as a night treatment since vitamin C is photosensitive and gets rapidly degraded under the light. I use this product 2-3 times a week. The effects I observed on my skin are: overall rejuvenation of the skin, brightness, tightness, attenuation of the dark spots. Skin becomes incredibly luminous and clean. I never had any irritation even when I used this serum after the needle derma roller treatment. As for the comparison with other Vit.C products on the market, there is no comparison. Timeless Vit.C/E serum is a winner.

Watch out...Too good to be true.

I saw this double pack of serum for sale here for much cheaper than other places and decided to pull the trigger. Well, I should have known the deal was too good to be true. I've purchased this serum from other retailers (in person, not online), and the product I received this time was NOT like the original serums I purchased elsewhere. It arrived wrapped in clear film, which was a good sign, but when I opened the box, the packaging was different than the original. It was a thin plastic, not the heavier glass of the originals. Then there was the smell, which was much different. It smelled like a cheap watered-down lotion, not like the weird "hot dog water" smell you get from a true vitamin C serum. Second giveaway was the color. The real serum has kind of an orange ... MoreI saw this double pack of serum for sale here for much cheaper than other places and decided to pull the trigger.

Second giveaway was the color. The real serum has kind of an orange tint to it when you pump it out, and this came out clear. Lastly, this stuff felt soapy when applied to the face....it was slick. The real vitamin C serum does not feel slick at all and soaks in quickly.
