Not Instant Gratification, Worth Its Weight in Gold Timeless Skincare Vitamin C is not an instant gratification glow. It is a long-term, consistent-use product that delivers results over time. This is the kind of product you commit to quietly and appreciate later. The clean, no-nonsense 20% L-ascorbic acid formula, boosted with vitamin E and ferulic acid, works behind the scenes to support collagen, protect against environmental stressors, and gradually improve tone and discoloration. It is fragrance-free, dye-free, and bottled in glass, which I appreciate. The texture is lightweight, fast absorbing, and easy to layer. It is also more affordable than comparable high-end vitamin C formulas with similar ingredients, yet still very effective with regular use. Important to know before buying: this formula is intended to be refrigerated to maintain maximum potency. Like all L-ascorbic acid serums, it will oxidize and lose efficacy over time. If you plan to use it only on your face, purchasing the smaller size makes sense so you can finish it while it is fresh. I buy the larger bottle and use it on my face, chest, and arms. This is not an overnight results product, but with daily use it delivers visible long-term benefits. Consider it future-you skin insurance.

Using the 20% vit c dupe for Skin Ceuticals - it smells similar "hot dog water" but is clear. I tried the SC years ago twice - it oxidized quickly both times, one time turning amber brown. This is slightly thicker than water and is in a pump. I keep it in the bathroom and it hasn't turned at all yet. I am using it on Angie of Hot and Flashys suggestion. I tried her launch as well. While she's figuring out her formulas (and I ran out) I bought timeless on sale, TBD on if I'll go back to Angie or not. My sensitive combo skin got irritated with Angie and I had a little bit of issue with layering /pilling - but loved the easy and one bottle system - timeless has a lot of layering and waiting if you're doing the same level of ingredients as Angie's. That being said, I'm at 20% C and no issues with my skin and it doesn't pill. The coQ10 had me a little red for a bit. I also use tretinoin 1-2x per week.

I love this brand. Especially the Vitamin C serum. It works very well for creating an all over better and brighter complexion while also softening skin. It helped to eliminate old dark acne scars that I've had for years. I can immediately see that my skin is bright and soft after use. And results take no time to appear. It soaks into skin quickly and goes right to work.

Packaging and formulation keep the vitamin C potent. I have very sensitive skin and I use it once a week on Fitzpatrick 4 skin and it works well!

This is one of the only vitamin C serums I’ve stuck with long enough to actually finish the bottle. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any sticky or greasy feeling behind. My skin looks brighter and more even when I use it consistently. I’ve tried more expensive options, and honestly, this holds its own. The ingredients are solid, and it feels like you’re getting real results without paying for the name. I also like that it comes in a pump bottle to keep it stable longer. It’s a no-fuss, no-fluff kind of product that just works. If you’re looking for a vitamin C serum that does the job without overcomplicating things, this is a great pick.
