Timeless is having a Christmas in July sale with 50% off! I was thinking of buying the 4 oz refill sizes of Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin C Serum, Coenzyme Q10 Serum and MATRIXYL SYNTHE 6. Would it be okay to do this or would they spoil before I finished them?

My husband and I are sharing some of these so I’m guessing an ounce would take me through 30-45 days.

    Thanks! Will do – it’s a great savings! BTW appreciate all the informative videos. I do some things for my own business and I know how time consuming they are to put together. Appreciate all the hard work you do for us!

Hi Angie, I was wondering if you’d ever tried a DIY Vitamin C serum? Michelle Wong at LabMuffin (a chemistry PhD with an awesome, science-based skincare blog) recently uploaded this very easy recipe: https://labmuffin.com/easy-5-minute-diy-vitamin-c-serum-recipe/ – which is actually amazing because a lot of DIY skincare recipes seem like a huge pain!

All the materials for a DIY serum are way cheaper than buying a pre-made serum, even a fairly inexpensive one like Timeless, and it’s apparently more effective because you’re making it from scratch every 1-2 weeks.

I know you must have a huge backlog of products to try, but I would be really interested in seeing you try a 20% Vitamin C DIY serum for a few months and reporting back whether you got better results with DIY serum or Timeless. If DIY is equally effective, it could save a lot of us a whole lot of money!

I’ve noticed that anytime I use any product that is a cream base serum or moisturizer, my skin breaks out. Do you have any suggestions?

  Figuring out what causes breakouts is really difficult because they can be caused by one ingredient or a combo. or from things in your diet, hormones, stress, and hygiene. If you’re sure it’s cream bases then it’s a process of elimination to figure it out but it can take months. Good luck!

  I also have oily skin so use the Timeless Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin C Serum for oily skin.

Hi Angie,
Have you seen the No B.S. line that is now on Amazon? Curious as to your take on it compared to Timeless.

Hi Angie, fantastic information as always. I have 2 questions to ask. I’ve been seeing a lot of reviews about cacay oil and people saying it’s likened to retinol..I was wondering if you could do a review on it, as I always value your input and research. The other question is, I have recently undergone double mastectomy and reconstruction and have extensive scarring on my breast area and from hip to hip. Can you recommend what you might think would be the best oil for minimising scars. I’ve heard vitamin e or bio oil. I know you’ve mentioned your dad is a chemist, and thought there might be something better, perhaps medical grade. I thank you in advance Angie. Wishing you sunshine from Oz, down under

  Hi Tracey~ I’ll be doing a post on the anti-aging oils later in the ingredient series and will cover Cacay oil in it but in general while the oils do have anti-aging benefits they aren’t nearly as powerful as the ingredients I’ve talked about so far. For scarring, vitamin E is the best and there’s also really good evidence on medical grade silicone. My dad burned himself one time and he treated himself and didn’t have any scars at all. He treated it with only petroleum jelly. I’m not sure if that would work for surgical scars though. You can also look into having them lasered in the future. I hope you’re doing well. xo ~angie

  My plastic surgeon has me using silicone scar strips for my scars. And I actually looked them up for anti aging as I have a deep crease in my chin and they it’s actually decreasing both. Look into silicone scar strips.

Hi Angie,

Just wondering…is there a reason why you don’t use the Olay Regenerist night recovery cream? Thanks for your videos. Love them!

  Between the two Olay products the active ingredients are pretty much the same so IMHO they’d be interchangeable.

This was so informative. Ive loved your whole series on anti-aging skincare. I’ve been looking at the ordinary buffet. It’s chopped full of good things. Have you tested it or have any thoughts on it

Hi, Angie!

I found your videos several months ago and absolutely love the information you’re providing. It’s been very helpful to me.

However, I was wondering if you’d be able to address in a future video a very annoying problem I’ve been experiencing. I have developed these little fleshy white bumps called sebaceous hyperplasia. Apparently, this is a lovely side effect for those of us that are menopausal and have oily skin. I did see a dermatologist for the condition and she gave me a prescription for Retin A and mechanically cauterized dozens of the lesions for me. From what I understand, the only way to deal with the lesions is to have them physically removed, so the best course of action is to prevent them from forming in the first place.

Anyway, my skin has been wack-a-doo recently; I’m 52 and menopausal and my skin is oily, yet sensitive and it’s been a challenge trying to figure out what to do with my skincare. Throwing in the sebaceous hyperplasia along with living in a very hot and humid climate (Florida) has made my skin a mess.

Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi Sue~ I’m unfamiliar with the condition you’ve described but it doesn’t sound fun and I’m sorry you’re dealing with it. There are so many good dermatologists on YouTube now offering great information. One of my faves is Dr. Dray, she has an episode on SH, here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95kaR0uu7hE Best~ Angie
