This is the best-of-the-best when it comes to SkinMedica’s genius of formulas. It’s an anti-aging face, neck and décolleté serum, with two chambers that feed into one pump.
The first chamber contains the TNS Recovery Complex®, which is where the human growth factor proteins are. The TNS Recovery Complex® is also available as a singular, separate product.
The second chamber contains the patented, APS Corrective Complex, which is a mixture of peptides (for strength and texture), antioxidants (to prevent aging), a skin brightener (to reduce dark spots) and hyaluronic acid (for moisture retention).
Results from using this product have been documented in as little as 30 days. That is, with morning and evening usage on cleansed and toned skin (beneath other products). Though, it performs best when used for at least 90 days, and continually thereafter.
TNS® growth factors come in a skincare line by SkinMedica®. The series also includes:
- TNS® Advanced+ Serum
- TNS Recovery Complex®, also noted above.
- TNS® Ceramide Treatment Cream
- TNS® Illuminating Eye Cream
- TNS® Eye Repair
