***** - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The last 2 times I bought Timeless it was already slightly oxidized and got worse as time went on. Geek and gorgeous came totally clear and stayed clear until I finished it. Geek and gorgeous is the way to go for me.
Yea I had 3 bottles and they all came oxidized (and I ordered directly from their website) so I can't trust that brand anymore. G&G formula is nice and doesn't have the hot dog smell (not that it bothers me). Only thing is that I didnt see that much result (maybe because it is a simple formula) and so now I switched to vitamin c derivative from Bubble skincare and for some reason I see more brightening with that and don't have to worry about combining it with other actives.
There are few things more disappointing in skincare than receiving an "old" product. I've heard a lot of people are currently having that issue with skinceuticals as well. You'd think at $180 a bottle they'd make sure it's fresh. The bubble vitamin c brightening serum is also wonderful. And also pretty affordable.
@@NOBSBeautywould you recommend g&g or bubble?
@@tinasung3814 I also did not see much brightening with G and G, but I think it is the percentage. For me, I see better brightening effect with 20% LAA. I am actually going to try and layer 15% EAA formula over the G and G and see as I can not get timeless in the EU
Geek&Gorgeous, literally my favorite Vitamin C for oily skin. Leaves no greasy looking film on my skin like many others 😍
I kept a vial of geek in the fridge for 5 months, stayed clear to the very last drop. So cheap and effective.
I keep the largest Timeless 20% in my fridge and have never had it go bad on me. Also, the Timeless customer service is outstanding.
I bought the Geek and Gorgeous based off your recommendation on one of these TH-cam videos and I love it! I just want to say thank you for doing the legwork, putting yourself and the product information out there so we don’t waste money trying everything under the sun. ❤
Oh that totally makes my day to hear! Thank you for letting me know. So happy you're having great luck with G&G! Love them plus they are so affordable and cruelty free!
Timeless has recently upgraded the packaging with glass bottle and the pump is way better. No leaking issues anymore which I’m so happy about because I adore that product for years 👍🏻
A hugely helpful video! :) Thank you Lovely! ^_^
I love both but buy the 4oz Timeless 20% on Black Friday when it’s 50% off and it lasts the year in my skincare fridge. I’ve never had an issue with oxidizing. Works out to be about $4/mo. I also get the large bottle of their CoQ10 serum when it’s on sale but that lasts more than a year. I’ve never had issues and buying the larger bottles saved a ton of money.
Well that is great news! I was wondering how the giant size would end up lasting so that's nice to hear that you've found it to be successful!
@@NOBSBeauty I’m super excited that G&G has U.S. site and shipping now. They have some of my holy grails like the A-Game 10 and it makes ordering and shipping easier.
Same thing for me. I buy the 4oz when it's on sale and I put it on the fridge and it last till I finish it. I also buy the coq10 😊
Great video to compare this two. I’m going to try the Geek & Gorgeous once I finish what I’m using right now 😊
I got the timeless and I’m loving it so far. Came clear too
The G&G still gets a minus one for the shipping costs to the US. I have been using the 20% Timeless. I get the big bottle when they put it on sale for 40% off. I. Yup it twice a year. I store both bottles in the refrigerator. I use it every 3rd day. I have had great luck wit the timeless serum NOT oxidizing at all until I use the entire huge bottle. When it is 40% off, it is such a steal too! 😊
G&G just recently created a us site, or it will just redirect you when you go to checkout. The shipping cost is now about $6 to the us which makes it so much more reasonable.
Enjoying the G&G now. Not sure if it's made a big difference yet as I've only been using it for about a month. I have a skincare frig in my bedroom too so I keep it there and feel better knowing it will retain its freshness much longer!
Did you know that the Timeless C E Ferulic serum is no longer sold in the UK or EU because they are use over 7x the EU limit of ethoxydiglycol? I used to use this serum, but stopped because honestly I trust the EU/UK guidelines more than the US. I have not tried the Geek and Gorgeous yet
Wow what an interesting information. And I was wondering why I couldn’t find the timeless anywhere (I live in Germany). I guess I’ll be trying the G&G then!
I love the c-glow but now I prefer the vit C in powder form from Garancia "L'appel de la forêt".
No more oxydation problems and lasts 5-6 months ! ❤
After you recommended Geek & Gorgeous C Glow I bought it and my skin has never looked better. It’s so much better than any other Vitamin C I’ve tried and the quality is amazing. Thank you so much for your honest reviews as always ❤
I live in Poland. I used the Timeless serum for a year, it was available at our store, but someone checked the ingredients and they withdrawn it from sale. This serum has Ethoxydiglycol in second place. Banned in the EU at this concentration. I am buying the G&G serum now.
Thank you
Love your information 12:06 all the time I’ve been using timeless 20 percent for years with controlled rosacea no problems keep in fridge and apply on damp skin thanks
I’ve used maelove and timeless, prefer the maelove. Im curious about the G+G going to try that one once I finish the current bottle of maelove that I am on
Great video! I have only tried timeless and I love it but with inflation n everything being so expensive now in days I have to give geek & gorgeous a try.
You'll have to let me know you you think of them, they really do an amazing job with their products and I love that they make their products fresh every week. Doesn't get better than that!
I'm on my third 4 oz bottle of Timeless and it lasts the 3-4 months it takes me to use it all up. Haven't noticed any darkening, even towards the end. I do keep in in the fridge.
I have purchased the timeless serum in the past, and I love it however, I have never tried geek and gorgeous
This is Gonna b so Cool Sarah🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Thursday😀….
Happy Thursday! Sorry I missed yesterday, I had the worst migraine but it's all better now thankfully! 😁
@@NOBSBeauty…. Just glad u feeling Better cause Health’s Wealth😀👍💜….
My Timeless has been in the fridge for 3 months...also using Copper peptides....it is still clear❤
I really love the Geek and Gorgeous products, especially their very effective Adelaide Acid derivative. But I have had it oxidize as I get close to the bottom of the bottle, despite keeping it refrigerated. Perhaps my fridge isn’t cold enough, I’ll have to double check. That said, I’m wondering what it takes to get free or reduced shipping with Geek and Gorgeous?? So far, it seems the more product I buy at once, the higher the shipping cost, so it’s getting to be cost prohibitive. A couple of years ago, before they had a US office, my husband insisted I drop them. However, nothing works as well for the dark spots on my chest and forearms as Apad!
I gotta be honest, i prefer the Timeless simply because i am uncoordinated and knock things over. I have definitely lost a lot of good serums in dropper bottle....
That reminds me of a friend of mine. She's middle class, not a ton of extra spending money but one day decided to splurge on the skinceuticals c serum after a bout of skin cancer. Within the first day she knocked the bottle over and spilled the whole thing. I've been giving her Geek and Gorgeous every few months since then.
I’ve used Timeless serum which I had no issues with. I just finished a bottle. Had no issues with irritating my dry skin, it did not degrade at all and I kept it in my bathroom. I might try Geek and Gorgeous next as I want to try their Retinal serum as well. I would definitely buy Timeless again. The packaging, in my option was great. Nice glass bottle, did not leak and no exposure to air. Thanks for then comparisons and explanation of the differences, and what to look for. 😊
Wow, I didn't think anything would edge out Timeless for me but this may do the trick.
They are both absolutely wonderful so you can't go wrong with either. G&G seems to have to perfect percentage of vitamin c for me.
I like the way Geek and Gorgeous feels on my oily skin, so I am a sticking with that one
The Timeless is a nice formula, just a too much for my oily skin.
Excellent
The timeless bottle was the worst. It would leak and drive me crazy. Plus it turned brown real quick. Right now I'm using the geek and gorgeous and I like it so far. It does feel a bit sticky though.
I purchased a small empty bottle from g&g in addition to vitamin C. This way i can keep the primary bottle in the fridge. I hope this will keep the vitamin c fresh
Timeless 50% off now through July 4th!
I would really like to try the Geek and Gorgeous! It would cost about $16.40 AUD to get the Vit C shipped here to Australia (~$11 USD). And that's the shipping cost if I spend more than 50 Euros (so 2x A-Game 10 1× C-Glow). Otherwise, buying the C-Glow by itself would cost about $22 USD/$33AUD to ship 😬 Why oh why did I ever move away from my home country, the US 😢😅
I want to like the timeless vitamin c serum so bad but because i live in the south all deliveries to my home get exposed to high heat and humidity before getting to my doorstep. The last time I ordered the timeless it was orange already when i got it. If they carried it in store at target near me i would buy it in a heartbeat but unfortunately they don’t ship directly to consumers in temperature controlled packaging.
Will you be reviewing the new bubble sunscreens? They look really good.
Thank you for reminding me about them! I was all excited about them and then forgot to order them. Going to have to do that today!
love G&G!! Any chance you can review dear lucy?
I will have to check them out, I haven't heard of that brand before.
I just started using Timeless 20%. No itritation or stinging. Thank you everyone in the comments for saying you should stick it in the fridge! ✅️
I am using Timeless but after your glowing reviews of G&g I would like to try out many of their products. Do you have some kind of affiliate code with G&G?
I've also used both of these products and my only problem with the Timeless one was the packaging which was a huge disappointment considering the price...
The Geek and Gorgeous one is less drying in my opinion...
Both are great...but the price point is more important 😊
You are so right, these are both great and both pretty affordable (especially compared to skinceuticals).
What's wrong with the packaging?
I love both of these vitamin c serums. A matter of fact you got me hooked on geak and gorgeous
I've used the timeless one and had no results whatsoever
@@lisadiaz7723 maybe you would like geek& gorgeous
I'm so happy with Geek and Gorgeous. I love how affordable they are, they are cruelty free, fragrance free, and their formulas are all science based. Still excited to see what they'll come out with next. 😁
I have clogged pores, small bumps in my skin. I used to manually squeeze the sebum out of them, which came out fairly easily .I do not want to squeeze them anymore. Is there a product that will dissolve the sebum in these ?
I've been using Timeless 20% for over a year now and love it. But with inflation, I really want to try the G&G. Because it's in a dropper bottle, do you have to keep it in the fridge???
G&G gave me a lot of blackheads. Timeless packaging sucked. But i will try it again with the new packaging. Thank you for your review.
It seems like this time timeless got the packaging right, no leaks thank goodness. I do give them tons of credit for trying new, more efficient packaging.
Used both, and I like Timeless better. I found G&G texture is more drying than Timeless, and I found Timeless texture is more "moisturizing " for my dry skin, not sticky.
Also, G&G shipping to Canada is a no no, with super high custom and fee, so not worth it.
This is perfect timing, I have been using Timeless and it always ends up degrading on me, I ordered my first bottle of G&G today hopefully I will have better luck with that one
Keep me posted, I hope you have great luck with geek and gorgeous, they have yet to let me down.
@@NOBSBeauty I tried their 101 A-Game 10 because of your recommendation (I could not handle tretinoin) and am loving it!!
Using C glow for over 2 years now and i am not in search for new one! Very happy, also, I am in Europe so price wise, it is more interesting.
They really do a great job keeping their products more affordable for everyone. I really appreciated having a great, skin friendly, Fragrance Free, affordable brand to recommend to people, especially those on a budget.
Love Timeless. One day I'll try the G&G!
Have you tried the Cosrx one? Maybe you can do a vs with Timeless?
I've been using the Cosrx 23% Vitamin C serum since it launched. Hands down the best L.A.A I've ever used
Cosrx is not active form of vitamin C , so that is no comparison.
@@Bh70399 they both contain ascorbic acid.
@@williamtheantioxidantqueen3546 will have to try it!!
Do you know the timeless bottles open. You can put your geek and gorgeous serum in the bottle
Oooh you are brilliant!!! Going to save that bottle once I finish it up! Great tip I'll have to pass on!
I bought the timeless just for this comment LOL. I'll use it up but after that I'm putting my G&G in the bottle. Thanks for the info!
LOVE Timeless vitamin c. Very hydrating and works wonders, no irritation whatsoever which is very rare for me!!!! Btw I find newer preservatives more irritating than older ones
I tend to agree with you about the preservatives. So many of the newer ones can be more irritated than the ones we used for decades before they were demonized.
@@NOBSBeautyexactly 🙌
I have tried both. And I can’t stand timeless smell. It lingers all day and makes me hate it. And I live in Europe. So G and g, is the way to go for me.
I have tried both and I love them. However I would say Timeless for drier skin and G&G for oiler skin. JMO lol
From what I've heard today I think you probably hit the nail on the head. Seems like a lot of people with oily skin have very good luck with G&G.
I feel like Timeless is nervous about doing 15% due to Skinceuticals
What color should the timeless be? I am just now finally trying it- it is not clear- so does that mean it is oxidized?
When applying the vitamin c serum, which facial cleanser, toner, essence or other serum should it be combined with?😘😘
Excellent review. Thank you. I am currently using the Timeless C serum and really like it. The only concern I have is that the serum contains Ethoxydiglycol. Supposedly the concentration that they are using is not permitted in Europe. I would like to know what the percentage is. Hopefully they will release that information one day. I will try geek and gorgeous in the near future. Thank you.
I've read in Europe that in oxidative products the amount permissible is 7% so it does look like the timeless must have even more than that in their serum.
@@NOBSBeauty thank you for the information.
I want to try the 107 vita c serum the ingredients sound interesting and I heard it was really good but it's pricy and my skin is sensitive to L ascorbic so I guess I shouldn't waste the money on it . I guess if I was to retry it I would buy the G.G my skin didn't like the Timeless even the lower percent one.
I just checked out the one from 107. Usually they aren't super expensive but the vitamin c serum is up there. Looks like they added some nice brightening ingredients to it. I wonder when they'll have their next sale. Last time I picked up a few things from them and have been pretty happy with everything I've tried.
@@NOBSBeauty Yea looks pretty interesting, I thought u would find it intriguing especially cause it's vitamin C Korean and has some cool ingredients that u don't always see in serums . Idk it would be interesting to try and review if u could get a good price on it.
You can’t touch the dropper to your skin because when you put it back in the bottle it ruins the vit. C
I wish that G+G done a 10% like Timeless, unfortunately we can’t get timeless here in the UK and Europe for a few years now 😢
I think they have a European website now :)
@@Autumn567 yes we also have a UK site, however they do not sell the 20% vitamin c nor does Europe.they use to until it was banned
@@monicaduncan7109 I had no idea😱
I purchased Timeless 20% vit c on the last sale they had it oxidized within 3 weeks. It also leaked all over every time I pumped some out. not a fan.
Is any Geek & Gorgeous that you would recommend?
Thank you
I love their c glow serum, the a pad serum, the stress less serum and the calm down liquid exfoliant are my favorites from them. Can't go wrong with any or all of those. 😉
I get better results with Timeless one
Please review the brand IS Clinical 🙏
Definitely will check them out, I actually don't think I've tried anything from them before. Not sure why?!?
@@NOBSBeauty you'd think so, because you're the best, but I don't think you have 😬 thank you for answering ❤️
My Geek and Gorgeous Vit C serum oxidized after two weeks! I was so annoyed. I won't be buying it again.
That is a bummer to hear. I wonder what happened with that? Have you found one that works better for you?
@@NOBSBeauty I have no idea what happened ☹️, and no I haven't found one I actually like.
Hi, Did you keep it in the fridge? If not, that would explain it oxidizing. All best wishes
Wait, I’m confused. I thought Timeless does have a 15% option. Did they discontinue it?
Oh wait! Never mind, I’m thinking of the 10%. 😅
I still like Dr Brenner’s better than any of them!
