Compare the system, not just the percentage
Different named blends cannot be ranked by their headline percentages. Open the Matrixyl guide to distinguish the ingredient names.[1][2]
Use one volume basis for cost
The unit-cost calculation converts 1 US fl oz using 29.5735295625 mL. Timeless packaging also prints 30 mL; the catalog preserves the store’s 1 fl oz variant. Coupons and subscriptions are excluded.[1][2]
Documented differences
Timeless identifies Synthe’6 with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38. The Ordinary’s selected record also includes Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.[1][2]

What the sources tell us.
What do the source labels mean?
Human studies describe what happened in their participants and tested preparation. Laboratory studies examine a model, not clinical results in shoppers. Case reports describe individual events, not how often they occur.
Safety assessments review specified uses and concentrations. Manufacturer labels identify recorded product facts. Neither is a guarantee of results or individual tolerance. Source type is not a quality score.
