Q: Why does the bottle say apply 2-3 drops but the website says apply 2-3 pumps? Which is correct?

submitted by Ann23 - 3 years ago
  • A: Don't let them fool you into using more! One pump is more than enough. If it isn't effective enough I'd say it's too expensive for what it is and the value really isn't as good as it seems.

    submitted byJJ - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi there! Thank you for notifying us of the issue you've experienced. Our instructions to apply 2-3 pumps are consistent with the packaging and website. At your convenience, we ask that you please reach out to support@timelessha.com so we may get more insight into this.

    submitted byTimeless Skin Care Expert - 3 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Wow, that's a lot! One pump is sufficient for the face and neck. But you need to have your skin wet or damp first with a quality toner. May irritate skin. I suggest starting with 10% first.

Q: Can I use 20% vitamin C on active acne? Or on sensitive skin?

submitted by Sam - 10 months ago

It is best to avoid the use of our potent and stimulating 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum on active acne or an existing hypersensitive area of skin to prevent increased potential inflammation.

Q: Why is my bottle leaking?

submitted by Zamfir56 - 4 years ago
  • A: We're sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue! We invite you to reach out to support@timelessha.com so someone from our team can assist you with this.

    submitted byTimeless Skin Care Expert - 4 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: They all do. It's very annoying. Keep the bottle upright at all times to avoid leakage. Manufacturer has switched to glass bottles that don't leak, although I haven't gotten one yet.

    submitted byKay - 3 years ago

Q: why is this product not an airtight dispenser? I purchased it thinking that it was.

submitted by Lisa P - 4 years ago
  • A: Though this bottle is still designed to keep air out at all times, we've recently changed the packaging for this particular product and size to include a dip tube pump. Should you have any further questions, please reach out to support@timelessha.com.

    submitted byTimeless Skin Care Expert - 4 years ago

Q: what is the manufactured date and the expiry date on this product

submitted by DeeA - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi there! The MFG Date is provided on the product's box. Expiration will be about 1 year after the manufacturing date (MFG) with the recommended refrigeration. We recommend using this product within 3-6 months of receipt for optimal efficacy. Should you have any further questions, please reach out to our team at support@timelessha.com!

  • A: When the product starts yellowing, it is losing it's effectiveness. I use every day and 1 ounce just starts yellowing at the end of the bottle. A 4 ounce bottle would be throwing your money away.

Q: How fresh is this? My last bottle started to oxidize quickly.

submitted by Nova Girl - 4 years ago
  • A: Hello Nova Girl! All our products are manufactured in small batches to guarantee the freshest product. We also stamp the manufacturing date on each box so our customers know exactly how fresh their product is. We recommend storing your Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum in the refrigerator to slow down the oxidation process and keep your serum fresh and effective. Don't hesitate to contact us at support@timelessha.com if you have any other questions.

  • A: I purchase 1 oz bottles, use every day, and it starts yellowing at the end of the bottle. I do not refrigerate. I'm sure that would prolong it's effecacy, but not sure how much.

Q: Can I put an antioxidant rich oil on after this vitamin c? Or should I layer another serum before applying the oil?

submitted by crackedelm - 5 years ago
  • A: Hello, please see information below... "It would be fine to apply an antioxidant oil (Squalane Oil) to complement the Vitamin CEF Serum and finish with a preferred SPF moisturizer. You can also choose to use another serum once the Vitamin CEF Serum has completely absorbed into the skin. Much will depend on the pH of the products used in the same routine to avoid disrupting the skin's natural barrier. "

Q: Can I use this product if I have oily, acne prone, and sensitive skin? Would it irritate my skin?

submitted by Nang - 26 days ago
  • A: Hi! Our Vitamin C with L-ascorbic acid is known for its brightening and antioxidant benefits, and it can even help support post-acne marks over time. However, it may feel too active for sensitive or easily reactive skin types. If you’re interested in incorporating a potent Vitamin C, we recommend starting slowly using it just a few times per week and gradually increasing as your skin builds tolerance. If you have further product questions, our estheticians are available at consult@timelessha.com!

    HORRIFIC WASTEFUL PACKAGING/PUMP

    The packaging is a joke. The dispenser when pushed down no matter how careful & slow you are the (very clear?) product shoots obnoxiously strong everywhere making a very wasteful mess every time. Losing half the product each time. The Vitamin C serum was said to be the best dupe for the high dollar one I prefer. However, this one is very thin, clear and burns skin. Also, says to apply at night..? Which the product itself is meant for the A.M. This product has zero qualities of the original. It does not leave the face glowy with moisture like the original. Even if it was good product, I wouldn't buy again bc of the pump!!!

    Good Dupe

    My dermatologist recommended a vit c for my melasma and stated there was “ dupes “ of a much more expensive version now on the market. With help from chat gpt, this was the most affordable option. It has helped more than I could have hoped with my dark spots. Noticed a difference right away. Smell isn’t as bad as some say it just isn’t pleasant. Not an issue for me. It definitely should be a dropper though.

    Do not purchase, you will peel

    I rarely leave a review for a product but I had such a bad experience with this one. After hearing from dermatologists on blogs that this product is a dupe for expensive brands, I gave it a try. It’s terrible. It’s not a serum consistency, it’s watery and acidic. It does not provide any glow. It dries you out and compromises your skin barrier. It stung my face upon application and cause me to peel. I was using a more expensive vitamin c serum prior that actually moisturized and gave me a glow. Further, you apply this at night which is strange. Most vitamin c serums you apply in the morning for max effectiveness. I tried this for 3 weeks using 1-2x a week. I then returned it. Way too harsh and useless. Invest in vitamin c serum. The dupe is a fail.

    Terrible dispenser

    I have only used this serum twice so I couldn't comment on how well it works. But the dispenser squirts the product all over the place. Since the serum is clear, it's hard to tell how much was dispensed and where it splashed to. Probably will not purchase again because of the dispenser.

    Want to like but BAD smell

    I’m not sure if it’s the bottle I received but have used the product 3 times now since purchase and I can’t get over the HORRIBLE smell. The scent lingers on my face and I want to love this product given the clean ingredients and amazing price point. Maybe I’ll try a different bottle

    Bad smell

    Wanted to like this based on all the good reviews - and maybe I got a bad bottle - but it smelled terrible. Like it was old or had gone bad, and the smell lingered on my face all day each time I tried to wear it. Annoying waste of money.

    Leaking product

    I bought this serum recently, and the smell honestly isn’t that bad to me—it kind of smells a bit like alcohol, but it’s not overwhelming. What I’m really disappointed with is the packaging. I’ve only been using it for a few days, and the bottle has already started leaking, causing a lot of the product to spill out. Now I barely have any left. It’s frustrating because the serum itself seems like a good vitamin C product, but the leaking bottle makes it feel like a waste of money. Because of this, I’m not sure I would purchase it again.

    Stellar Product, Horrid Packaging

    There is no other vitamin c serum on the market with this good of a formula (namely a high dose of actual vitamin c) for this good of a price. I've looked, because this product's packaging is in one word, messy. I've bought probably 12 bottles at this point over the years, and each and every time, it slowly leaks product out. Like, each time you use it, some of the product drips on the pump and down the part of the bottle covered by the cap. If you don't wipe it down after EVERY use, it builds up and gets sticky, and even travels down the bottle onto whatever surface you store your skincare on, and then that gets a sticky ring that's a pain to clean off, and can even stain depending on the material of the surface. It's a daily pain in the rear, and I sincerely hope Timeless fixes it. So anyway, I personally think this minor inconvenience is worth the excellent but reasonably priced product, but you should know all of this before buying.

    I ordered two Timeless serums and both arrived unsealed with damaged boxes. The packaging looked opened and possibly tampered with, which is unacceptable for skincare. It did not feel authentic or safe to use. I returned both the same day. Very disappointed in Target’s quality control.

    I liked the scent and it was lightweight. Didn’t feel tacky! Unfortunately this did cause an eczema flare on my face so I would recommend caution if you have sensitive skin. And it will turn your fingers orange if you don’t wash well after applying

    The serum seems ok but the pump sucks. It barely comes out and when it does it almost sprays out and a lot of product stays on the cap and it wasted. Not worth the money when you’re going to lose so much product.

    Nice serum!

    I have only used this product for about a week, but I like it so far. It goes on smoothly and doesn’t leave an orange film on my skin like other vitamin c serums. It does have an interesting metallic smell, but I follow it up with a nice-smelling hyaluronic acid serum and it subsides.

    Terrible pump device

    I wanted to find a skinceuticals alternative because of that hefty price tag, and I was so hopeful this could be it because they have the same active ingredients. However, this pump truly sucks and I felt like I couldn’t use the product because of it. If you try to squirt directly on your face, the product will go everywhere. If you try to squirt onto your hands and then apply to your face, the product is SO thin and runny that it gets caught between my fingers and drips down my palms before I can transfer to my face. The smell wasn’t terrible - I’m used to skinceuticals hot dog water smell. Sadly this had to go back as I felt I would waste half the vial trying to apply it.
