Who is the TimeWise Miracle Set 3D For?
One of the most unique things about this set from Mary Kay is that is it actually available in two separate formulations, with one for normal to dry skin types and another for combination or oily skin types. This means that you can select the option that suits your skin’s needs and have a selection of products that are tailored specifically for your skin concerns.
TimeWise Miracle Set 3D
First things first, we’d be remiss if we didn’t talk about what exactly is included in this set from Mary Kay. The TimeWise Miracle Set 3D comes in two different formulations, one for combination/oily skin types, and another for normal/dry skin types.
Starting off with the combination/oily skin types, the 3D Set comes with the TimeWise Age Minimize 3D 4-in-1 Cleanser, the TimeWise Age Minimize 3D Day Cream SPF 30 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen,the TimeWise Age Minimize 3D Night Cream, the TimeWise Age Minimize 3D Eye Cream, as well as an option to include one of their foundations. The normal/dry range features the same products, with different formulations to boost hydration and moisturizer. But what do all these products do?
Starting off with the TimeWise Minimize 3D 4-in-1 Cleanser, this product cleanses your skin while also gently exfoliating. This leaves your skin fully prepped and ready to take in all of the beneficial ingredients that the next three steps have to offer.
The Day Cream with SPF 30 was designed to provide daily protection for sun damage, as well as neutralize free radicals which can also cause skin damage. This product also continuously moisturizes for 12 hours, making it an excellent option of daily wear.
Wrapping up this set with the TimeWise Age Minimize 3D Night Cream and Eye Cream these products help to boost the skin’s ability to repair and prepare itself with antioxidants. The entire range is dermatologist tested, clinically tested for skin irritation, non-comedogenic, fragrance free and oil free.
Formula Focus
Unfortunately, Mary Kay is one of those brands that does not release their full ingredients lists for their products. This can be largely problematic, especially for those with sensitive skin, as you typically won’t know exactly what’s in each product until after you’ve purchased it. What is available though, is a bit of information on a few of the highlighted ingredients within these formulas, namely their Age Minimize Complex.
Their Age Minimize 3D Complex, this is a unique, patent-pending blend of vitamins and antioxidants that is included in every single one of the TimeWise Miracle Set 3D products. This blend consistents of a blend of encapsulated resveratrol, vitamin B3 and peptides to revive, repair and protect the skin.
Starting off with resveratrol, this ingredients has been steadily gaining popularity over the years as an excellent anti-aging ingredient. As an antioxidant, resveratrol offers excellent protection against free radicals, and can also counteract the negative effects of these damaging particles. Resveratrol also increases the presence natural antioxidants in the skin. Once these natural antioxidants are built up however, resveratrol also works with these free radical fighters to continue to support the skin’s protective moisture barrier. But resveratrol doesn’t stop there. This ingredient can also help to support skin’s collagen production, as well as even out skin tone. The resveratrol in the TimeWise products specifically are found in Japanese knotweed, which has the highest concentration of resveratrol in the world.
Along with resveratrol, this product also features vitamin B3 and peptides, each of which help to boost the benefits of resveratrol. Vitamin B3 is typically highlighted for its brightening benefits, as well as its ability to help with uneven skin tone. On its own, vitamin B3 is also an antioxidant, which doubles the antioxidant protection within this complex.
Finally, peptides have also been added to this complex to further boost the anti-aging capabilities of this formula. Peptides support skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which slow down as we age. This particular peptide is made up of four amino acids which have been linked together to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Peptides are considered to be great constants in an anti-aging skincare routine, because they support the skin’s natural processes, without causing any adverse reactions like those that can occur when using retinoids or vitamin C for the first time.
How to Use the TimeWise Miracle Set 3D
The TimeWise Miracle Set #D was designed to streamline your anti-aging skincare routine. All of these products work best when used together as part of a regular skincare routine, although you can also supplement with some of your favorite serums and additional treatments.

Heather, I know what you mean. I had a reaction, my face was so red ,burning ,inching, my eyelids & under my eyes swole. I had to go to the Dr(since I had tried everything I knew to get relieve) now my face is flaking. It’s been a week. I would not want anyone else to experience this.
