Mary Kay® TimeWise® |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Mary Kay® presents TimeWise®, an extensive line of skin care products designed specifically to fight the signs of aging. The Mary Kay® TimeWise® line offers anti-aging formulas that range from moisturizing creams to fine-line reducing serums. Marketed for women, the promotion for this line makes some interesting claims, but we’ll have to take a close look at these items to see how they may measure up.
One way for women to fight the aging battle is to be informed about the active ingredients contained in these products. There are thousands of ineffective or potentially dangerous products on the market, so we believe choosing the right one is an important part of a person’s skin health and satisfaction.

| Products at a Glance |
Surprisingly, despite Mary Kay® TimeWise®’s high profile and professional website, we are unable to discover what ingredients are contained in these items. We feel it is immeasurably important for individuals to be informed about the products in which they invest. Knowing what ingredients a product contains may be a person’s best defense against ineffective products. Therefore, we are concerned about the potential effects of the Mary Kay® TimeWise® products.

| Products in Focus |
Since, at the time of review, we are unable to uncover what ingredients are included in the Mary Kay® TimeWise® line, we have a difficult time making an accurate assessment of these products. Many anti-aging products currently available on the market are missing key advanced ingredients, such as Matrixyl 3000®, Argireline®, fresh Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid. Without being able to view a contents list for the Mary Kay® TimeWise® items, we can’t be sure whether these proven ingredients are included in any of the products.
There are safe and effective skin care formulas on the market that combine the top quality ingredients, Matrixyl 3000® and Hyaluronic Acid. Research shows products including these contents are known to be highly effective and safe. We think it is important for people to search for these kinds of advanced ingredients.

| Lifestyle |
With so many choices, making the right choice in skin care is not always an easy decision. However, we believe choosing an item with the most effective ingredients is an important part of healthy skin care. We feel Mary Kay® TimeWise® products may not be safest or most effective items on the market. In fact, Mary Kay® TimeWise® appears to lack an adequate refund policy. A fair refund policy is often a sign of a high quality manufacturer and a good way for people to feel confident in the items they buy.
|
| Positives |
• Fairly extensive product line
• Competitive prices
• Well known brand
• Easy ordering
|
| Negatives |
• Doesn’t contain Matrixyl 3000®
• Inadequate refund policy
• May lack advanced ingredients
• Customer testimonials may not be available
|
| Final Thoughts |
Many product lines like Mary Kay® TimeWise® are geared towards making a quick sale with mediocre items. People should keep in mind that not all skin care products are safe for long term use. The long-term appearance of the skin is deeply impacted by the products we use. That is why we believe it is so important for individuals to search for items that contain high quality ingredients and that fit their individual needs.
At this time, Mary Kay® TimeWise® products seem like a potential risk, and may not be the best place to start for healthy skin care. Safe and effective ingredients to look for include Matrixyl 3000® and Argireline®, which are known to be efficient skin care ingredients that provide great results without side effects. We think people should, however, always look for positive consumer trials and a fair refund policy, in case a formula doesn’t suit their needs. There are quality formulas on the market, and it is the customer’s responsibility to make educated choices.

Taunna: I read the review of the Mary Kay Timewise products and disagree with your assesment. Mary Kay is a wonderful product with a excellent refund policy. It is actually a 100% customer satisfaction policy where a customer can either get something else or get a refund.
Comma: You have to ask the consultant about what's in the product and they will tell you. Mary Kay is the best selling skin care product. It has been for over a decade straight. The information on this site is wrong. You can get a full refund for the product.
Sara: All Mary Kay products have a 100% money back guarantee or product replacement policy which has been in effect since the company first began providing skin care products. All Mary Kay representatives and consultants are provided with a complete list of ingredients for each product Mary Kay offers and any one wanting to be informed of the ingredients need only contact one of the consultants. All products offered by Mary Kay are thoroughly tested and their manufacturing plant in Texas is FDA Registered. Mary Kay spends millions of dollars each year to test their products and conducts more than 300,000 tests in a year conducted and overseen by Degreed Doctors of Pharmacoloy, Toxicology, Microbiology, Chemistry, and Biochemistry to ensure each product is safe and effective.
