My aesthetician recommended this product and I have been using it for over a year. I was using another brand; however, I have noticed improvement in the elasticity in the skin on my neck and decollete.

I have purchased the TNS advanced+ serum twice prior to this one, and after using it, I'll stop buying the advanced version and only get this. As far as I can tell, the only part of the advanced+ serum that is different is that one side of the dispenser contains some kind of a peptide cream/serum and the other side dispenses the actual growth factor serum. I can use my own, far less expensive peptide cream and mix it with this stuff. Peptide creams are way less expensive and easier to find than legit growth factor serums. Both products list their size as 1 ounce, so I'm pretty sure that you are only getting 1/2 an ounce of the growth factor serum with the advanced+ and you're getting a full once with this product (for less money). Either way, I really like this product. It has given me noticeably softer skin and has smoothed my tech neck (horizontal neck) lines. My neck looks at least 5 years younger now, since I believe it has evened out the tone as well (possibly from hydration though, since the uneven tone in previous pictures appears to just be dry skin). That had been my main goal in using originally, but then I started using on my face too, and it has helped to smooth the texture over the acne scars on my cheeks and chin. There is still some light pitting that I don't think can be fixed by a cream, but the overall texture is a bit less visible to the eye and feels a lot smoother to the touch. One thing I would recommend in order to save some money is that I have now for the past 3 months been stretching out how long this product lasts by applying once every 2-3 nights. I have maintained my results and not noticed any regression, so I may attempt to space it even further and continue to monitor with side-by-side comparison pictures. Even when purchasing originally, I only applied once daily at night. My logic was natural growth factor is only active at night anyways, so I didn't see a need to apply it in the morning. I didn't look into this at all though lol so don't take my word for it. Do your own research if you want to be sure. But even if you just apply every night, you'll be getting twice as long out of it as you would if using as recommended, still with great results.

I just had a laser facial treatment and needed a cream that would help with the healing process. This rich cream was perfect. It soothed and hydrated my ultra dry, compromised skin. I will continue to use it, especially during the winter months. Another great product from SkinMedica!

I have been using this nightly for 3 weeks. I feel like my skin looks brighter and is smoother. I was using Dr Dennis Gross Extra Strength Daily Peels bit thought they were a little too harsh for my skin. These are less expensive and do not dry out my skin. Have already purchased another Even and Bright jar so I don’t run out!

I'm impressed by how strong the .5 product is! Since I've used retinol products for years, I thought my skin would be used to this right from the get go, but it took weeks to adjust without flaking. That tells me what I was using wasn't as potent at I thought. I also love the lightweight, silky texture. Great product!

I used Lyra 2.0 for years and as someone who just turned 50 years old, was often mistaken for someone in their mid 30s. Before using it, I had horrible hyperpigmentation and when I began using Lytera 2.0, the results were unbelievable. I was very sad to hear it was discontinued and replaced with Even and Correct. However, I spent the money and went in with an open mind. This product is nowhere close to the efficacy of Lytera. The only thing I changed in my skincare routine was this product. Not only did I notice I began seeing dark spots that I had not seen in years, but also an uneven skin tone. It was such a difference that friends and family began to comment on it as well. (not in a mean way, but the fact that they noticed showed me it wasn’t just me seeing the lack of efficacy). It also pills if you put an oil based product over it. I would deal with that flaw if it was effective, but it just simply isn’t. What an incredible disappointment. If you read the reviews for Even and Correct, there’s several that are rated 4 or 5 stars, but in the comment section, it states that they have yet to see if it’s effective. So, draw your own conclusion from that. I really hope that the company reads these comments and decides to bring back Lytera which was a far superior product.

I got this moisturizer for my daughter she likes that it is not heavy. It is not greasy or does it cause breakouts. Perfect for a 40 yo with slightly oily skin. … more

This product was recommended by a nurse practitioner friend. It is goes on so nicely and is not greasy at all. I actually receive many compliments from strangers for my 73 year old skin! Love this product and it fits with my other SkinMedica products.

I love how easy this spreads, very lightweight. I sometimes mix this with the un-tinted. Both are great for neck and chest and I wear everyday! … more
