(update Sept 2015: continue to use this and have tried competitor products, it works and I am quite old! but skin looking good!)
Reputable dermatologists say there are only a few active ingredients out there that are proven to do anything beneficial for the skin besides moisturize it (which Crisco or vaseline could do too!) , no matter what hype the cosmetic companies put out. One of those is vitamin C.
(Caution: don't use a Vit C product at the same time as Retinols (Retin A or OTC Retinol products like Roc etc), or Glycolic acids, or beta acids (salicylic etc). Use the Vit C in the a.m. and the others in the PM, sometimes even that will be too irritating for some skins. At the least put a few hours between applications of acidic products!).
I heard about this product first on a skin care forum I belong to, as I am a sort of hobby aesthetician and makeup artist and always looking for something to help my own aging skin. I use a derma roller (many brands and most are about the same, needle size is the key difference), and this product used in concert with it really has helped stimulate collagen (the disappearance which is what causes skin to look 'aged' , when the padding beneath the surface begins to degrade and so the skin hangs like an empty balloon).
I have been using it off and on for several months, and also got some for sisters and friends. In everyone's case I have seen an improvement in skin tone, and definitely a subtle 'plumping' effect. It's not a miraculous overnight remedy, (nothing like that exists in a bottle!), but it does help over time, and you'll see some difference within a couple weeks.
Also important is that the manufacturer is using a DARK glass bottle. First because Vitamin C breaks down with exposure to light, and also because if it were plastic container, the acidity would cause some leaching of plastic byproducts into the gel.
The viscous feeling of this product is due to the hyaluronic acid in it. Hyaluronic acid is the same substance (but in sterile form and at a different molecular density), that is in fillers like restylane, and that also occurs naturally in the human body. It can't really penetrate below the dermis, but with the derma rolling process, I believe a little of it can make its way in, and that it aids in plumping effect.
A great value and reputable supplier. The reality is these active ingredients wholesale at a minimal cost, and the big brand names are marking them up by ridiculous amounts and creating elaborate marketing campaigns and photoshopped images of 22 year old models, and many consumers fall for the hype and believe the cost is justified; and while this product isn't 'cheap', it is moderately priced compared to department store brands, and it lasts a good while as you only need a few drops each time.
I also have recommended for those starting a skin improvement regimen to take a few good before and after pictures (spaced a few months apart at least, then periodically) or have a friend do so. Then you can apply 'high def' photographic effects to the before and afters shots, which will reveal the damaged skin that the naked eye can't detect, and subsequent improvement (or lack thereof!), in great (often disturbing! detail).
(There are free programs online that can do this(ipiccy is one), or if you use photoshop etc, that allow you to increase detail in your skin - usually called something like 'high def', 'gritty' etc). Department store makeup counters used to have these boxes with special lights and mirror that you'd put your face in and would reveal the sun damage that is not apparent to the naked eye - using as a selling tool-- this HDR effect does the same basic thing - reveal what the naked eye can't see but which IS there!
The proof was there for me that my skin was looking better, less damaged. In my case the derma roller was part of it, but this product was also key.

MY THOUGHTS on the Timeless Skin Care 20% Vitamin C + E
Call That Geek
Reviews with images
Absolutely love this product
This serum is amazing. I got it just to experiment with vitamin c serum, figured it could potentially cause long-term benefits. It did not disappoint, I didn’t expect the results I got! Since beginning use I’ve gotten compliments on the glow of my skin and noticed a significant improvement in the evenness of my skin tone. I’ve included a before and after pic on just a small patch of skin on my face. Unfortunately I received a half-filled container as it must have spilled on its way to me, but the quality is still amazing and I plan to buy again in the future. The smell isn’t the greatest, but I’ve heard it described as hotdog water with other serums, this one smells like banana to me (so not the worst, not the best smell-wise). Overall I’d consider this a good find!

Excellent product to add to your daily skin care routine!
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
After just about a week of use (mornings only), I did notice my skin was brighter and definitely helped even my skin tone. This is a great value, especially since it contains 20% vitamin C. Anything less than 10% is just a waste. Also, the combination of the vitamin C with the E is and excellent paring - two super-antioxidant, and you only need a small amount of product! I am not in love with the scent, but it is better than other Vitamin C serums that I have used in the past. The glass packaging is great as well, reducing plastic waste. I would definitely buy this product again and I will be adding this to my daily skin care routine!
