Timeless serum1/5/2024 So Timeless wins in terms of smell but I’m happy both are’t fragranced. No essential oils or fragrance in either. BUT I’m happy it doesn’t have fragrance/ essential oils! The timeless serum smells like Citrus which makes sense since vitamin C is in there. The closest comparison is like smearing coffee on your face. I really really don’t like it, and the smell doesn’t go away. Smell: Skinceuticals smells very strongly of Ferulic acid – I don’t like the smell of it at all. As said before, I personally use the Skinceuticals in the PM because it balls up on me in the AM. Both are easy to dispense product BUT I would say Timeless is a bit easier BECAUSE the dropper has a pointed tip whereas Skinceuticals is flat/rounded – I feel like more product accidentally drips out.ĪM or PM use?: Both apparently can be used in the AM and PM, both companies have told me. Packaging: Both are pretty much the same i.e. The Skinceuticals just doesn’t agree texture-wise with me. It goes straight into the skin just like my Argireline solution, and disappears. Therefore I have to use it in the PM because I can’t wear it in the AM as I feel like it compromises my sunblock application. It also balls up on my skin, UNDER MY SPF (read more about this ON MY DETAILED REVIEW HERE). This serum makes me feel like my skin slightly can’t breathe. It’s the drying down/absorbing bit that is an issue for me: Skinceuticals sits on top of my skin. It makes the experience either pleasant or a misery for me. I find texture extremely important because 1. Texture: Now this is where either serum is a massive hit or miss for me. Timeless does irritate the skin more IF YOU HAVE AN OPEN WOUND OR CUT/ Active acne! compared to the Skinceuticals!! Skinceuticals = 2.0-3.5 (is what Skinceuticals told me – BUT then I’ve read in other places that it’s 2.5 OR 3.5 so I guess it ranges?) Personally, I’ve found the Timeless stings more at 2.4 – (but it only stings if one has a cut/open wound)Īpparently Skinceuticals has a higher pH to reduce irritation. PH: (a low pH makes the ascorbic acid an effective antioxidant). So the Timeless is still cost savvy purchasing x2 in 6 months.įYI: I have absolutely no problem with Parabens HOWEVER they are both the same volume, so you could easily run out of the skinceuticals in 3 months and still need to repurchase. This does mean that you would need to purchase Timeless x2 in 6 months and Skinceuticals only once. SO this means Skinceuticals lasts for 6 months whereas Timeless lasts 3. Also – the ingredients list is different, Timeless do not use Parabens or Sulfates to preserve their serum ( which apparently pushes up the price?). I must say – I’m guessing that Skinceuticals spend more on advertising and clinical trials to prove the efficacy of their product (but I’m not sure), so this could mean why their products are more expensive. Price: Yes, skinceuticals is expensive at £135- I go into my opinion and reasoning for this on my review post HERE Timeless is more affordable at £22.49 at timeless-UK *So this post is purely comparing the two – if you want more detail on each product INDIVIDUALLY – please check those posts!!* NOTE: I have posted a FULL REVIEW for each of these products – so if you would like more detail TIMLESS REVIEW or SKINCEUTICALS REVIEW
