Good just not great
I found this to be a good, solid growth factor product but results were super slow and texture after absorption was very tacky and made other products tough to spread. In the future, I will try other GF products by brands other thank Skinmedica. Thought it was gold standard but not anymore.

Will buy this over the advanced+ serum
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.

Must have product
I have been using growth factor products since 2005. I think they are the reason my 65 year old skin looks so great. Skinmedica is a ride or die for me. I love the TNS recovery complex which I mix with the Rejuvenative moisturizer to mimic the more expensive serum. The Ceramide cream is excellent as well.

Instantly brighter skin
I’ve been using this now for about a month, and after only a week of use, I started getting a lot of compliments that my skin was glowing. I’ve noticed my fine lines are less prominent and my skin is really soft.

Helps with crepey skin
This serum goes on smooth, gets absorbed quickly, and seems to boost hydration. It's not marketed as a neck cream, but I've found that it helps firm up crepey skin on the neck. Love it!

Drying & Sensitizing
For something that's supposed to help "recover" skin, this was very drying and irritated my sensitive skin. I'm starting to learn that even products that claim to be ok for all skin types, even sensitive skin...really aren't. So far, a serum from a different brand has been the only product similar to this one that hasn't hurt my skin (though that brand's other formulations do irritate me...).

Using this product for 25 plus years!
I was badly sunburned on multiple occasions as a teenager, VERY badly sunburned. Since I have a very fair complexion, there was a great deal of sun damage to my skin. My dermatologist at that time recommended TNS Recovery Complex to help with the appearance and texture of my skin. It’s helped my skin so much over all these years later and I will continue to use this product until I kick the bucket!

My jowls are less prominent
I really think this serum works! I’ve been using for approx. 3 months and my skin looks way firmer. What were the start of jowls on either side of my mouth are totally gone. Thank you!

Love this product
I’ve used this product for years and I love the results. I’m 46 and while I use a lot of other products including this one (morning and night), I’m always complimented on my skin. I highly recommend!

Try this
My family has been using this product for many years. It has healing properties like no other. If you’re a pimple picker, get curling iron burns, tweezer nicks, this will calm things down. Also works on eczema patches. It’s pricey, but worth it
