One thing to know about NewBeauty editors? We love ourselves some SkinMedica® TNS Essential Serum®. It’s a cult-classic, it’s won countless awards and it’s beloved by dermatologists all over the world—it’s one of those rare products they not only recommend to patients, but also use themselves. So, when I heard SkinMedica® was launching a new-and-improved version with even more growth factor power, I was on the edge of my seat! Meet TNS® Advanced+ Serum, a serious skin-care innovation and must-have in any anti-aging regimen.
As a woman in my early 30s, those stubborn expression lines are settling in, my skin tone is fairly blotchy, and some early signs of laxity around my jawline are becoming visible. The good news? TNS® Advanced+ Serum targets all of those concerns in one double-duty formula. The product uses a two-chamber system to keep the ingredients super stable: Chamber 1 contains a revolutionary growth factor blend with a peptide complex, and Chamber 2 contains a blend of nourishing botanicals, marine extracts and peptides that support skin rejuvenation. In each pump, both chambers release simultaneously.
I apply the serum both morning and night right after I wash my face and before I apply any other serums, including retinol. It’s fragrance-free and lightweight, and it absorbs quickly and layers well with other products in my routine, especially vitamin C, which I like to use as well for maximum radiance.
I’ve been using TNS® Advanced+ Serum both morning and night for two weeks now, and I’ve already noticed my skin feels much softer and my skin looks brighter overall, which is a huge benefit for me because I’m all about finding products that make my skin glow! —Brittany Burhop Fallon
