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 - 3 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: Is this safe with breastfeeding?

submitted by Colleen - 7 months ago
  • A: Our products are considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding when used as directed. However, hormonal changes may increase skin sensitivity. Consult your physician before use.

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

submitted by Sam - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi there! 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. We encourage you to reach out to consult@timelessha.com for personalized product recommendations!

Q: Is this the same formula as on the Timeless website or reformulated specifically for Target? There is such a large price difference. Repeating Sunnygal's question as "Brand expert" didn't answer it.

Q: Why is my bottle leaking?

submitted by Tana88 - 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 - 4 years ago
  • A: The new packaging in glass bottles should be much better than the plastic.

    submitted byKay - 3 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.

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.

    submitted byKay - 3 years ago

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

submitted by Nova Girl - 5 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.

    submitted byTimeless Skin Care Expert - 5 years ago
    Brand expert
  • 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 - 6 years ago
  • A: It would be fine to apply an antioxidant oil - Squalane Oil for example - to complement the Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum and finish with a preferred SPF moisturizer. You can also choose to use another serum once the Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid 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 skins natural barrier. Don't hesitate to contact our customer service team on support@timelessha.com for additional help.

Q: Is it supposed to have a strong smell?

submitted by Gaby - 26 days ago
  • A: Our skincare products may sometimes have a subtle, natural aroma due to the absence of artificial fragrances and unnecessary preservatives. We prioritize cleanliness by excluding parabens, sulfates, dyes, and artificial fragrance. The minimal use of preservatives ensures product safety and longevity. While our commitment to purity may result in a faint natural scent, rest assured that our formulations prioritize your skin's health and well-being, while remaining remarkably efficient!

    Pure vitamin c

    If you think it smells bad or burns your face, pure L-ascorbic acid is not for you, stick with the derivatives. This is a game changer for my dark spots. The best part is that this doesn’t oxidize as fast as other pure vitamin c serums (SkinCeuticals). It retains its potency throughout the 2-3 months that I use it. Amazing product!!

    Formula Change???

    What's going on? I have used this product for years and it has been awesome. I returned my last bottle because it smelled like bandaids and felt a bit slimy. I thought maybe it had gone bad but the new replacement that came in the mail is the same. Did they change the formula?

    20% Vitamin C, 100% Regret

    I have sensitive skin, and this caused a significant reaction after the first use. The stinging lasted well beyond application, and by the next day the skin around my eyes and mouth felt tight and puffy. Sweating made my face sting all over again. It also completely disrupted my skin barrier—my skin was left tight, irritated, and unusually sensitive even after the initial stinging stopped. I’m now having to baby my skin while it recovers. Washing it off and using only my usual barrier moisturizer helped significantly. I know 20% vitamin C is strong and everyone reacts differently, but this was far beyond normal tingling for me. I won’t be using it again and the product has been returned.

    Not Practical For Me

    I bought this to use with my red light therapy wand but the consistency is too thin. I also did not care for the pump dispenser. Again the product is very thin and when you pump it out it runs everywhere. You have to rub it in your hands first and then apply to your face. Lastly the scent was not pleasant.

    Smells kinda like ham

    The texture is too liquid like and not serum like. I dislike the smell. It smells kind of like deli ham or smoked ham?! I am unsure why that is… it probably does do great things for the face but there are so many other serums out there that have a better consistency and no smell. I hope they can improve the formula.

    Awful dispenser. Please make it in a dropper!

    The dispenser shoots the serum everywhere. No matter how carefully you depress the pump, it still shoots out with the same force, spraying the product everywhere. Especially do not buy if you have marble countertops as the serum will squirt everywhere and etch them. The bottle also leaks when traveling and must always be stored upright. Mercy me, I can’t fathom why this product isn’t packaged in a dropper bottle!

    Awesome SkinCeuticals Dupe

    I used SkinCeuticals before switching to Timeless. It doesn’t smell like hotdog water and it feels great on my skin. What’s better is that it isn’t $200! If you are looking to incorporate Vit C into your routine or you’re looking for a more cost effective product, this is it. Timeless Vit C > SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic
