Slow down the race against time. This age advocating serum does it all, without irritation. Formulated with potent bakuchiol – a natural retinol-alternative, plus legacy peptides, it targets premature age progression with a powerful antioxidant defense against environmental oxidative stress. Helps protect and nourish the hydrolipidic barrier, with deep-penetrating hydrators that reserve skin’s water circulation. Used daily, it improves texture, wrinkle appearance and the feel of firmness, while cell turnover revs up to target pores, spots and uneven tone. Created for all skin types – especially sensitive, as it helps decrease the intensity of transitory or persistent redness.

Not sure of total effectiveness.

"Not sure of total effectiveness. I use it most of the time."

Jury is still out on this one

"I like the feel of this product and the fact that it does not irritate my sensitive skin. I first tried a sample of this product, and since my skin responded well to it, I decided to purchase the full-size version. After a few weeks of use, I’m still unsure whether it’s making a noticeable difference or if my skin looks about the same. I can say that my skin does not look or feel as dry and dehydrated as before but that may be due to the moisturizers I am using from this brand as well. Since it can take up to 90 days for the skin to fully regenerate and reveal visible results, I’ll continue using it daily and compare photos after that period."

Callie H. (4/5)

Skin so good

"I bought time sensitive for my 30-year-old daughter for a Christmas present. She ab loves it. I’ve been using bio elements for a couple years now my aesthetician started using it on my face and I am 58 years old and I love it and the price point is fabulous. It’s a great product."

Q&A

Hello, do you still need to add a moisturizer with time sensative?
Hello! Yes. While Time Sensitive does have hydrating ingredients, we would still recommend applying a moisturizer over it. Barrier Fix Daily Moisturizer is our pro pick for sensitive skin: https://www.bioelements.com/collections/moisturizers/products/barrier-fix-daily-hydrator
What is the order to use? The cleansing oil, reset mist, time sensitive, then Barrier Fix Daily Hydrator?
Hello! That is correct: cleanse with Sensitive Skin Cleansing Oil, then spritz with Soothing Reset Mist, and follow with Time Sensitive and then Barrier Fix Daily Hydrator
What percentage of bakuchiol is contained in Time Sensitive?
Time Sensitive is formulated with .5% bakuchiol
Can you use Time Sensitive with VC Daily Glow?
Hello! You can definitely layer one serum over the other, but we recommend alternating application morning or night if you don't want to layer. You can apply vc10 Daily Glow in the AM and Time Sensitive in the PM.
I recently found out I’m pregnant and now cannot use retinol. Would this be a good alternative to still give similar affects of retinol without actually using retinol?
Hello! The bakchiol in Time Sensitive is a compound isolated from the seeds and leaves of the Babchi plant (Psoralea corylifolia), a plant native to East Asia. It's a natural alternative to retinol - its molecular structure is different than retinol, but it has comparable effects on the skin without introducing potential irritation: fine lines and wrinkles are reduced while skin elasticity and firmness improve. However, as every pregnancy is different, it's always best to consult with your physician about specific ingredient usage.
