Vitamin C, alternative to timeless

[Gimmecaffeine]

I want to add vitamin C to my regime and heard on these boards that Timeless is the best without spending £££, but it seems it's not available anywhere online.

Any ideas? Or is there a good alternative?

It's available here, sometimes it's on preorder as the stock is always fresh (keep it in the fridge) but you'd wait no more than a week.

Build up use gradually if you're new to Vitamin c and only ever use it once a day. We can only absorb 20% per 24h, using more you run the risk of going a bit orange as the product oxidises on your face and stains it (very similar to the fake tan process).

Just wanted to bump this, as I had used Timeless Vitamin C serum for a few years, and then suddenly it wasn't available in the EU because of some EU regulation with one of the ingredients or something.

Anyway, I searched again recently and it seems that it is available again from here: https://timelessskincare.eu/

Has anyone tried ordering from them recently, it looks legit but I wanted to check. Maybe the regulation thing was sorted? I want to start using it again as I got good results from it, and it's much cheaper than many of the alternatives.

Oh crap sorry, forget my post above - from the website:

Unfortunately Timeless Skin Care 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid serum contains Ethoxydiglycol in a concentration that is not permitted in Europe. According to the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council, it is possible to sell cosmetics containing this substance in a max. concentration 2.6%. Unfortunately, the yellow serum Timeless has a higher concentration, so we cannot offer this product in our store.

Is it still available in the UK does anyone know? Even with customs it might be cheaper thank Skinceuticals etc.

I think it's still unavailable, I've switched to Geek and Gorgeous C Glow which I actually prefer now so wouldn't switch back, it's also very affordable. They're EU based but is available to get to/in the UK, I think (I'm in the EU).

Thanks I will check that out.

I used to use Timeless but switched to The Ordinary's L-ascorbic acid powder, it's very cheap (about a fiver) and you just add a teeny scoop to your moisturiser, a pot lasts ages. I add it to my body moisturiser too.

It's much more stable than liquid form vitamin C, and it's far and away the best vitamin C product I've tried. It comes with a tiny scoop and you can add as much or little as you like. It makes much more of a visible difference than any other ones I've tried too.

I bought the Timeless Vit C a couple of months ago (can't remember from where but I'm in the UK) and I'm really underwhelmed with it to be honest. It smells kind of herby/earthy and I see no difference in my skin at all. I used to use the Ordinary Vit C in silicone and this definitely gave me a glow. I think I'll try the Ordinary powder next.

I also switched to Geek & Gorgeous on @botemp’s recommend and I really like it. I order 2 bottles at a time and leave them in the fridge and you can also buy a mini empty bottle to decant a weeks worth of product in at a time. I kept forgetting to use my Timeless as I’d forget to go downstairs half way through getting ready and get it out of the fridge.
