I have dry skin because of eczema and I break out because of it. Needless to say finding a moisturizer that doesn't make one of both of those issues worse is very hard. I have the normal/dry in both of these and I love them. Any random breakouts I get clear more quickly and happen less often. The normal/dry cleanser does not lather and cleans my without drying it. The moisturizer keeps my skin hydrated all day with out leaving it feeling greasy. Great products!

This has been my favorite cleanser/moisturizer that I have tried so far. It leaves my skin soft and clean. Nothing else I tried does the job as these two products have. I use the COMBINATION TO OILY skin cleanser and it cleans without stripping my face completely dry. The exfoliation beads are nice also. I am sure I will buy more of this cleanser.

I have been using the TW cleanser and TW moisturizer for 3 weeks, along with some acne products from MK. This has to be the best skincare line for me. I have used a lot of brands, like; La roche posay, biotherm, weleda, origins, Clinique, Clarins..etc... But all these products just didn't do anything for my skin.

I have moderate acne, and have been having that for 8 years, (am 21 now). MK is the only brand that has helped me clear up my skin dramatically, in only 3 weeks! (Have taken oral medication like 6 times for my acne)

Cleanser for Combo/oily skin:
Gel cleanser with small exfoliating beeds.Does not dry out my combo skin.
a bit of a "chemical" smell, (but I like that). I dont like floral scented skincare, like Clarins. I mean, I like it, but my skin doesn't like it.
I wouldn't say that it exfoliates the skin, cause the beeds are so less, and well.. I honesly prefer chemical exfoliation vs physical.
The cleanser really refreshes my skin, and it removes makeup. Even when I am wearing heavy makeup. Havent tried it on my eyes, cause I use the oil free eyemakeup remover from MK for that.
All in all, I dont think this cleanser is for everyone, I have met people that love it, and people that HATE it. If you want to try this, get a sample from your local MK lady.

Cream:
The TW moisturizer for combo skin is great as a day cream. For the night I use the one for normal/dry skin. Its great under makeup, and is oil free. The smell is somewhat like the cleanser, but as I said, I like that kind of "chemical" smell. Great packaging, I HATE creams that come in jars, this has a nice fliptop.
It keeps my skin nice and matte, for upto 6 hours. But if you have combo/dry, I wouldnt recommend this. Even I feel this to be a bit drying if I use it at night.

My conslusion is:

Great skincare, love the packaging, love the smell, love what its doing for my skin, but not for everyone. As I said, do get a sample if you want to try it.

The only con here is the price! I live in Norway, and here MK products are really expensive.

The cleanser: 376 NOK---> 66 USD.
Moisturizer: 350 NOK--> 62 USD.

Now THAT IS EXPENSIVE! but I will save my money, so that I can save my skin!

Good cleanser and moisturizer set. I have combo skin and it works well! Love the moisturizer with spf, doesn't break me out, but doesn't leave me dry either!

XOXSEXYLV57, I flagged your listing for inappropriate use of trying to sell other products!!! We're all here to rave about the fabulous Mary Kay Timewise 3-in-1 cleansers. I have been using MK products since I was 18, even was a consultant at one point, I am now turning 39 this month & don't look a day over 25 and have Mary Kay and her fabulous formulas to thank for that. And when Timewise was announced to be launched, I could not wait to get my hands on it. I must admit that I do use a few other, much much much more expensive products than MK. If I go out and am applying Bare Minerals, I'll first wash my face with Philosophys Purity cleanser cuz it just melts all the makeup away & really gets deeo down in your pores but it leaves a terrible film behind & makes my face feel tight which I hate so I rewash with Timewise. It's si rich & creamy & feels so good, all those exfoliating beads on my face. And I love the smell. Even though there are no fragrance in MK skin care items, I like the smell of it. And after I wash it off my skin feels like satin. I use it all the time. It's my #1 cleanser of all time & it's really cheap. There isn't a MK item that isn't good. They all rock!!! And I am not a consultant, haven't been in a very long time. I believe in their products, I use their products & I think they are the best for the littlest amount of money.

I LOVE the Time Wise cleanser for normal skin. At first I thought it felt too moistuzing and nice on my skin to be an effective, CLEANser, but it clears up my skin and feels great. In love! *Note: I only use the cleanser, along with the regular Mary Kay freshener (toner) formula 2 and the lightweight velocity moisturizer, not the whole Time Wise set.

I am truly baffled by the overwhelmingly positive reviews that I've seen about this product. Maybe I'm using a different product than everyone else, or maybe there are just a bunch of Mary Kay reps leaving reviews. Who knows. But this face wash is just AWFUL. It has a very weird, highly chemical smell (vaguely rubbery), it doesn't feel pleasant on my face while I'm washing it, my face feels like there is a film on it after washing it (and this is even using a Clarisonic pro, on one of the higher speeds AND with the acne brush head), and to top it off, it is EXPENSIVE for the size (4.5oz for $22). For that amount of coin, you'd be much better off getting a cleanser from Avene, La Roche-Posay, or Skinceuticals. Also, I'm not 100% sure why anyone would want to purchase their products this way: from high-pressure sales people who are pushing overpriced garbage and trying to get you to "join the team." I have a hard time understanding why such an archaic way of selling products still exists - I don't know about you, but I sure enjoy buying products online so I DON'T have to be harassed by overbearing salespeople. To wrap this up, no, I definitely would not repurchase and should not have purchased in the first place.

I have been using the Mary Kay 3 in 1 cleanser for combination skin for 2 years now and I have yet to find another product that I love like this one. I have tried almost every cleanser on the market and I am never usually happy with using the same brand for more than 6 months. I will usually give the product a chance to see what the results will be but after coming across this product by mistake I am very happy I did. I use this cleanser in the morning and use Olay Total Effects cleanser at night. I am very happy with this routine and wouldn't think of trying anything different. I have very oily and blackhead prone skin and these two products seem to balance each other out very well.

I love this cleanser. It's super creamy with little beads to help exfoliate. It worked wonders on my skin in just one day. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 was because of the fact that it doesn't really remove makeup.

I use the timewise oily/combination formula. I have the entire timewise miracle set including the 3-in-1 cleanser, age fighting moisturizer, day and evening solution. I also use the even essence (daily) and microdermabrasion set (once a week). I have to say that I love, love, love this entire set. I've struggled with acne and acne scars since I was in my teens. I was introduced to this product about two years ago and haven't used anything else since then. I no longer struggle with acne or the ugly scars anymore. The miracle set is wonderful for day to day use. The even essence cleared up my scars. The microdermabrasion set has reduced the size of my pores, reduced blackheads and also aided in the removal of my acne scars. Please note that this process takes time. It took about six months before I saw a total change of acne scarring. After a year, I was totally cleared up. I can't speak highly enough of these products. I am addicted. Ask your MK Rep about what can work best for you. My MK Rep gave me a plan on how to treat my problems and I've been happy even since. I feel like I sound like an infomercial, but it's truly how I feel. Good luck!

I have tried both the N/O and N/D combinations of this because my skin varies throughout the year. I found that the TW collection actually accentuated my fine lines, and made my skin very tight and gave it a very shiny and weird feeling texture. I can't even describe it, but it wasn't pleasant. This did keep my skin clear from breakouts and was fragrance-free, so I give it a two. I know others who have had success with this line, but it just doesn't work for me.

I have overall normal skin, I tend to get a bit oily in my nose and I occasionally have hormonal breakouts that tend to clear up in a few days (1-3). I do not breakout from using new products and I have not experienced any breakouts from using this cleanser in particular. I find that it gives my face a soft and clean feel. Btw the moisturizer I use with this is from Cetaphil.

I purchased this to step up my facial care routine, and it was a big mistake. I noticed at first that my skin was breaking out like crazy, but thought I'd stick with it. After 2 months, my face has began breaking out and my skin tone is very uneven. I never have problems with acne, so maybe I'm having a reaction to it. Once I stopped using it, and switched to Olay, my face has started to clear up just within 3 days. I won't be buying this product again.

Really not impressed with either of these products, you are better off washing you face and moisturizing with neutrogena products or olay. When I washed my face with the cleanser it just didn't do anything for me, I still had make up on my face and all I can say is blah!!! For the moisturizer it feels like nothing but a product that is made with the majority of water and that is what it feels like when you put it on after you wash your face. The moisturizer also gave me cystic acne and I never had it until I tried this!!Please don't waist your time or money on these two products! I think these products are probably better for more mature skin.

I have the timewise oily/combination formula. I love the way my skin feels after using it. My face began to clear up withing 3 days and nothing worked for me in the past. I had tried everything proactive, clean and clear, neutragena nothing worked. After about two weeks of using the product I had a few dry patches and I thought maybe I should stop using it but I spoke to my consultant and she explained that I need to wash the cleanser off with a wet washcloth and not just my hands. Turns out I was not getting all the cleanser off and that was what was drying out my face. Once I started using the wash cloth I didnt have any problems and for the first time in year I can say that I really love the way my skin looks. The set does cost 40$ but it last me 2-3 months. It comes in two tubes and the lids close tight. I have purchased some more expensive products and ended up loosing half of it because the cap would not close after a week.

The only reason I bought the timewise set was because I have a friend who sells and offered me her discount (50%). Mary Kay offers the full set, which includes the 3-in-1 cleanser, age fighting moisturizer, night and day solution, for about $100. After the first few days I thought my skin looked great but with repeated use I started getting more and more redness and blemishes. The cleanser is OK. I use a makeup wipe before using the cleanser because it will hardly get your makeup off and I dont really feel any better about my skin after using it. I'd say my favorite part of the system would be the day solution, it has spf, blends in easily and my skin looks pretty after using it. I would maybe spend the $$ on just the day solution but I would never pay $100 for this mediocre skin care system.

I wish there was a category for this whole line, lol. I'd read all about MK Timewise years ago when I had the home visit/facial. The SA gave me a book about her life and I must admit I was fascinated. That said, I was still on the fence about the Timewise line. Don't really know why. Anyway I've had the products in my closet for over a year now and recently pulled them out because my skin, (which is rapidly changing due to perimenopause) went crazy after a cold snap this year. It seemed that overnight it went from being moist and rosy to dry, broken out (hormonal acne) and irritated. This time, instead of using the products separately and when I was out of something, I decided to give the Mary Kay TimeWise skin care line a try. I bought the TW 3-in-1 cleanser and moisturizer for "oily to normal” formula, the Daytime Solution SPF 25, Night Solution, Firming Eye Cream, Even Complexion Essence and the Even Complexion Mask. Within 1 week, I'm seeing pretty amazing results. My skin is doing a complete turn-around meaning it is smooth and soft, the texture more refined and those unsightly little scars (I suffer from hyperpigmentation) are getting more blurry and lighter by the day. Each product that is meant to stay on the skin seems to penetrate and really seems to be wokring together to break up the brown spots. The Day Solution Sun Screen smells really pleasant. The Night Solution has these tiny encapsulated beads that (atleast from what I have read) contain these super charged botanicals that burst onto your face speed the skin’s natural renewal process. I finally realize now that the key to the whole system is to use the products together as a set and not in pieces when I need a quick fix, lol. This sort of realization comes with age for me. Let's face it...I'm no longer a young woman. I need serious, preventative skin care that is going to slow down if not even reverse the process of aging skin. I'm not sure what other LINES can do this effectively.

I asked the MK rep how long it would take to see total clarity and she showed me a photo (unretouched) of a woman's hand. The first photo showed a major case of brown or "liver' spots. The second showed a smooth, blemish free hand. It was indeed the same hand. The caption read that she'd used the Even Complexion Essence for two weeks and poof-brown spots were GONE. The key to the line is regular and complete use, without skipping any steps and the SPF. I will never ever fool around and take my good skin for granted again. I guess I had to learn the hard way. Thank you Mary Kay.
