AMOREPACIFIC Time Response Skin Reserve Serum Face Treatment, 1.0 Fl Oz

This arrived crushed and it was shattered... unable to use

I'm assuming it's this product (although my routine includes 4 products from this line) as I believe this one has caffeine as an ingredient and that's likely the culprit. I had a few restless nights of sleep with nightmares, and I generally only get that way when I have a lot of caffeine. I also woke up with my face seeming more puffy one morning, but not all of the mornings after using it. I discontinued this product as I can't say it's shown any benefits but only problems (assuming it was caused by this particular part of the regimen).

Since this is my first foray into an uber expensive face serum at $525 an ounce I admit to telling Alexa to play Handel's Halleluiah Chorus as I dramatically opened the box when it arrived, amusing my family when I lifted it at just the right moment in the music for the approval of the Skin Gods. And after that, well, it's all been rather anticlimactic, lol. I have been using this in conjunction with the Time Reserve Face cream and honestly (and trust me it is hard not to give effusive praise on a very expensive product that you were given for free) I am just not seeing anything dramatic in the way of results. It does smell divine, it goes on like velvet (though I was surprised to see one reviewer say one pump was enough for her face and neck since I need 3 pumps for my face and neck) and it feels good and yes, feels expensive if that could be a thing. But after 2 weeks of use (and yes, I realize it may need more time) I don't see much difference in my skin except that it feels a little softer than it did and looks, well, nice. Not younger, not less wrinkled, just...nice. For $525 an ounce I want great, I want younger, I want glowing, I want to at least say it's helping my fine lines, but, nope, just nice. Maybe if I was younger I would be one of the ones saying this is "the best, the greatest, I've never looked better" but at 60 I don't see it softening any of my lines or tightening anything really. Maybe it's just too late for me and only a face lift will help, but at this price I was hoping that there would at least be a "mini" face lift lurking in that jar. That very expensive, perhaps overpriced, jar. But it was worth a try!

I've been using this serum in combination with a few other AmorPacific products for the last few weeks. It's too early to tell if it has any effect on wrinkles or not, but I do know that I can tell a huge difference in my skin on days when I haven't used my AmorPacific regimen. When I have used the products my skin feels softer and smoother, and feels supple and deeply moisturized, the color is more even and my skin just glows! This serum comes in a beautiful bottle that just feels like premium quality. I love the pump and the fact that you can get only the exact amount of product that you want... Especially given the insane price tag! I do love how my skin feels after using the AmorPacific lineup, but I've loved how my skin feels after using products that were a fraction of the price as well. I feel like it would be extremely hard to justify the price tag when there are other products for a fraction of the price that have also made my skin feel incredible. I really appreciate AmorPacific's dedication to providing the highest quality ingredients in all of their products and have very much enjoyed using them!

AMOREPACIFIC, Time Response Skin Reserve Serum Facial Treatment, 1 OunceMy first observation of this skin care product was the price. Then I wondered if it actually works and is it then worth the price based on how long the bottle will last and the efficacy of the claims, all taken into consideration. To check this out I enlisted my sister-in-law to help me solve the mystery.She started a month of research to help me discover the truth. She enlisted an app called “YouCam Makeup” that monitors your skin condition. She ran the testing procedure of the app while using her normal regimen and got a steady age factor of 46. We weren’t concerned if it hit her actual age as much as consistency. So she established her baseline and started using the AmorePacific line of products including the Time Reserve Serum.She noticed in the first week the app was reporting a significant drop in here skin age of 4 years. This was an amazing result and we all were quite impressed. She soldiered on with her testing for the full month of the regimen. Over the following weeks the time machine effect slowed but continued in a good direction. We figured the initial drop was due to the more effective hydrating of her skin and the slowing was now the continued use of the products and the continuing hydration effect that was happening albeit more slowly.The results at the end of the monthlong test was a total drop of 6 years with a noted extra -3 years when she wore full makeup. We also figured the extra drop was the higher shin moisture level with the makeup on and rate that an anomaly. The bare skin being the bellwether of the testing. So the result was a solid and maintained 6 year drop in skin age. This consumed about a third of the bottle in this case so an approximation of a three month supply from the one ounce bottle of the serum. She is very happy with the results and is continuing to see how much more her skin improves. Given this can all be done at home and no need for (or the ability to do now) facial treatments in a salon, maybe the cost isn’t relatively, so high. The AmorePacific regimen is her favorite as of now and approved.
