What is Mary Kay Time Wise Replenishing Serum + C?

Mary Kay is a company that is well known for its skin care products and pink Cadillacs.  The only people that would ever think of driving around in a pink car are those that are given one that is free!  Ugly does not even begin to describe a pink vehicle.  Mind you, pink is my favorite color but not in a car!

Mary Kay has come up with many wrinkle creams for those of us who are over 20 years old.  Yes, 20!  It seems like society is becoming obsessed with aging and will begin to worry about the dreaded fine lines and wrinkles while they are still dealing with pimples from puberty.  Whether women need it or not at that young age they start worrying about it.

Mary Kay Time Wise Replenishing Serum + C is one of those wrinkle creams that says it is an antioxidant rich serum that is formulated with ingredients that enhance the production of new collagen and help keep existing collagen from breaking down.

Mary Kay Time Wise Replenishing Serum + C contains four weekly vials that they claim will help maximize product freshness.  They say this wrinkle cream will help your skin bounce back and give your collagen a boost.

Ingredients found in Mary Kay Time Wise Replenishing Serum + C

As with every other Mary Kay product the ingredients are never found on the Mary Kay official website.  It is difficult to find the ingredients anywhere.  They say that this anti-aging product contains ingredients known to support elastin.  The formula is enriched with a potent blend of multiple botanical sources, known for their high levels of Vitamin C.

Vitamin C is one of the most widely used ingredients used in skin care products.  It is a great help to skin but the problem is Vitamin C is relatively unstable.  In the presence of air it becomes easily converted to oxidized forms which make it incapable of boosting collagen.

That is why Mary Kay says it uses one vial to last one week to keep the freshness but it still can become unstable even within a very short period of time.  This anti-aging product is based around the usefulness of vitamin C which can become useless if not handled correctly.

Secondly, only highly concentrated preparations of vitamin C (10% or more) deliver enough to the cells to be topically effective.  There is no indication what concentrate it used in this formula.

Mary Kay Time Wise Replenishing Serum + C Final Thoughts

Mary Kay Time Wise Replenishing Serum + C is one of those wrinkle creams that sounds good in theory but when you look closer at it you have more questions about it than answers.  With little information on the ingredients we really don’t know if it is strong enough to be effective.  You may be better off eating more citrus fruits and it will be a lot cheaper.

I would suggest you look on this website for recommendations for great wrinkle creams.
