Timeless Skin Care Vitamin C Serum with Vitamin E & Ferulic Acid - Brightening Serum - for Oily & Dry Skin - Fragrance-Free - 1 oz

I’ve been using the Timeless Skin Care Vitamin C Serum with Vitamin E & Ferulic Acid for a few weeks and I’m really impressed. The formula is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel sticky. It layers well under moisturizer and makeup. My skin looks brighter and more even, and some dark spots are starting to fade. I also love that it’s fragrance-free and works well for both oily and dry areas. Great value for a high-quality vitamin C serum!

Heard about it for years and just wishing I tried it sooner. The glow is amazing and skin is looking more even and vibrant. Was using a different vitamin c that was good, but this one is better if you like a glowier look. Brightening effect is apparent. I already do retinoids chem exfoliation and spf so it’s hard for products to make a noticeable difference beyond that. This one does. Have sensitive and acne prone skin and this doesn’t break me out either. Very runny formula and I can see this lasting a long time.

Awesome product. I use it in the morning and then put suntan screen over it. It is starting to lighten my brown spots.

Product is amazing 10/10. It does what it says it does. It's brightening, gentle on the skin, feels nice on the skin, suitable for sensitive skin, quality formulation and my skin looks great because of it. You also get a great value for your money. You don't need to spend hundreds on an effective vitamin C, and trust me, I have shopped around. This does wonders for the skin. I gave it 4 stars because the liquid comes shooting out. It's vey watery and it's a pump/suspension, so you need to cup your hand around the opening when you pump it or else it flies and goes everywhere. This is not only annoying but also a mess. That part wasn't so thought out! Once they fix either the consistency or the way it comes out I will definitely give it 5 stars. All in all, I definitely recommend this product.

I was looking for the best SkinCeuticals dupe, and I have found it! My dermatologist has approved this given the ingredients and I can already tell a difference in how much more of a glow my skin has after just a couple weeks of use. Pros: Ingredients are legit. Derm approved. You can see it working. Doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Price is amazing given the size of the bottle. Dries quickly and can easily wear under makeup. I also love this for no makeup days to give your skin a GLOW! Cons: Be careful when you pump the product as it comes out very quickly! It smells like hot dog water - just like skinceuticals more expensive one! Lol. But that’s good! That’s also how I know it’s a good dupe! Be careful using with retinol as it can irritate.

This is one of those products I keep coming back to and have repurchased monthly for years. Timeless Vitamin C has been a staple in my routine for a long time, and it is one of the main reasons my skin stays bright and even. The formula is straightforward and effective - 20% L-ascorbic acid with vitamin E and ferulic acid, no fragrance, no unnecessary fillers. The serum texture is very pleasant and lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers well under the rest of my morning skincare and sunscreen. I’ve never experienced stinging, irritation, or sensitivity with this, even though my skin can be reactive if a vitamin C formula is poorly done. With consistent use, my skin looks clearer, more even-toned, and overall healthier. It helps keep post-acne marks from lingering and gives a noticeable brightness without feeling harsh or drying. A little goes a long way, and I appreciate that the ingredient list stays focused on proven actives rather than marketing extras. For reference, I have fair skin that is generally normal but leans dry in the winter, with a history of acne. I also use azelaic acid, retinoids, peptides, and hydrating serums in my routine, and this vitamin C plays very nicely with everything. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, effective vitamin C that actually delivers results, this one has earned its permanent spot in my routine.

So I bought this at the suggestion of many different YT and IG MD's I follow. This was suggested as a dupe of Skin Ceuticals C E Ferulic and I can say that this has none of the elegance that the SC formula has. It is very thin and liquid in consistency. The formula also doesn't feel homogonous as it feels like the serum has some parts that are super watery and some parts that are slightly thicker. The biggest turn off for me happens to be the smell. It truly smells like hot dogs so if you are okay with putting hot dog water on your face, you might be okay with this product. For me, I didn't enjoy using it, as it felt (and smelled) like a cheaper product and there are better C E Ferulic dupes out there. So for me, this was a pass and not something I will re-order.

(update Sept 2015: continue to use this and have tried competitor products, it works and I am quite old! but skin looking good!) Reputable dermatologists say there are only a few active ingredients out there that are proven to do anything beneficial for the skin besides moisturize it (which Crisco or vaseline could do too!) , no matter what hype the cosmetic companies put out. One of those is vitamin C. (Caution: don't use a Vit C product at the same time as Retinols (Retin A or OTC Retinol products like Roc etc), or Glycolic acids, or beta acids (salicylic etc). Use the Vit C in the a.m. and the others in the PM, sometimes even that will be too irritating for some skins. At the least put a few hours between applications of acidic products!). I heard about this product first on a skin care forum I belong to, as I am a sort of hobby aesthetician and makeup artist and always looking for something to help my own aging skin. I use a derma roller (many brands and most are about the same, needle size is the key difference), and this product used in concert with it really has helped stimulate collagen (the disappearance which is what causes skin to look 'aged' , when the padding beneath the surface begins to degrade and so the skin hangs like an empty balloon). I have been using it off and on for several months, and also got some for sisters and friends. In everyone's case I have seen an improvement in skin tone, and definitely a subtle 'plumping' effect. It's not a miraculous overnight remedy, (nothing like that exists in a bottle!), but it does help over time, and you'll see some difference within a couple weeks. Also important is that the manufacturer is using a DARK glass bottle. First because Vitamin C breaks down with exposure to light, and also because if it were plastic container, the acidity would cause some leaching of plastic byproducts into the gel. The viscous feeling of this product is due to the hyaluronic acid in it. Hyaluronic acid is the same substance (but in sterile form and at a different molecular density), that is in fillers like restylane, and that also occurs naturally in the human body. It can't really penetrate below the dermis, but with the derma rolling process, I believe a little of it can make its way in, and that it aids in plumping effect. A great value and reputable supplier. The reality is these active ingredients wholesale at a minimal cost, and the big brand names are marking them up by ridiculous amounts and creating elaborate marketing campaigns and photoshopped images of 22 year old models, and many consumers fall for the hype and believe the cost is justified; and while this product isn't 'cheap', it is moderately priced compared to department store brands, and it lasts a good while as you only need a few drops each time. I also have recommended for those starting a skin improvement regimen to take a few good before and after pictures (spaced a few months apart at least, then periodically) or have a friend do so. Then you can apply 'high def' photographic effects to the before and afters shots, which will reveal the damaged skin that the naked eye can't detect, and subsequent improvement (or lack thereof!), in great (often disturbing! detail). (There are free programs online that can do this(ipiccy is one), or if you use photoshop etc, that allow you to increase detail in your skin - usually called something like 'high def', 'gritty' etc). Department store makeup counters used to have these boxes with special lights and mirror that you'd put your face in and would reveal the sun damage that is not apparent to the naked eye - using as a selling tool-- this HDR effect does the same basic thing - reveal what the naked eye can't see but which IS there! The proof was there for me that my skin was looking better, less damaged. In my case the derma roller was part of it, but this product was also key.
