HIGH-QUALITY skincare doesn’t have to break the bank and dupes can even best the original.
One woman was floored when a $27 vitamin C serum blew her luxury staple out of the water.

Redditor Paddingtonbear39 shared the anti-aging beauty find in a post.
She explained that she’d been a massive fan of SkinCeuticals’ $182 C E Ferulic with 15% L-Ascorbic Acid serum for a long time.
“You guys. I have been a SkinCeuticals Vit C stan for four years,” she said.
However, after switching to Timeless’ $27 20% vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum, she gave up the lofty purchase.
“I finally decided to switch over, considering the price differential, and WOW,” she said.
“I am not sure how well it’s worked for all of you, but Timeless blew my Skinceuticals out of the water!”
She almost couldn’t believe the difference in her results, considering the $155 price difference.
“Am I going crazy? This stuff is working miracles for brightening my skin and improving texture,” she said.
“For reference, I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin (which is a new fun thing my skin is doing at the age of 31).
“Absolutely no irritation, soaks in very quickly, brightens almost immediately, and doesn’t leave any weird tacky finish or cause pilling. I AM SO EXCITED!
“I really thought I was doing just fine with Skinceuticals, but after using Timeless, my skin is just more radiant,” she added.
“Maybe it stopped working for me?”
Skincare fans over the age of 30 seconded her rave review about the serum.

One woman explained that it was her routine’s most critical product.
“I’ve been using Timeless for years. Even when I get low energy with my skincare, I make sure I put this on,” she said.
“Get compliments about my skin all the time. Love it.”
“I went from SkinCeuticals CEF (~2 years) to Timeless Vit C and Ferulic, and I noticed an improvement. I only use Timeless now,” said another commenter.
The original poster agreed that she immediately noticed a difference between the two products’ formulations and quality.
“I definitely notice a difference in the color and consistency,” she replied.
“Whatever it is, I’m happy as a clam!”
