I was on a live chat on the Timeless skincare site. While inquiring about a product, the rep told me Amazon is not authorized to sell their products, and to be careful about applying to my face. She did mention one seller authorized, think it was recommerce. I ordered matrixyl, and it's sold and bought directly from Amazon.
I realize this is an ongoing issue, many, many unauthorized sellers everywhere, especially eBay.
But I was a bit taken aback about scaring me about using it . I also realize, the products are alot cheaper than the their direct site, so of course that's not helping them. I googled this topic, and it's said there's always a risk with a tampered product, or expired, and or fake. Also some are taking legal action.
There are some products I will never buy from 3rd party sellers, but I have caved for alot of skincare.
Honestly, I'm going to try avoiding buying, and will much rather buy direct if affordable.
As for Timeless, I was buying directly from them after seeing their C serum was fresher than Amazon...but their prices have jumped, and there's shipping. 🤔
After my live chat, Timeless sent an email about Amazon being unauthorized to sell.
