“For reference, I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin (which is a fun new thing my skin is doing at age 31).
“Absolutely no irritation, absorbs very quickly, brightens almost immediately, and doesn’t leave any weird, sticky finish or pilling. I’M SO EXCITED!
“I really thought I was doing great with Skinceuticals, but after using Timeless, my skin felt more radiant,” she added.
“Maybe it stopped working for me?”
Skincare fans over 30 rallied behind her rave review of the serum.
One woman explained that it was the most important product for her routine.
“I’ve been using Timeless for years. Even when I get low on energy from my skincare, I make sure to put it on,” she said.
“I get compliments on my skin all the time. I love it.”
“I went from SkinCeuticals CEF (~2 years) to Timeless Vit C and Ferulic and noticed an improvement. I only use Timeless now,” said another commenter.
The original poster agreed that she immediately noticed a difference between the formulations and quality of the two products.
“I definitely notice a difference in color and consistency,” she replied.
“Whatever it is, I’m happy as a clam!”
