Keeping fingers crossed
I keep reading and hearing great reviews on this product. Many beauty editors swear by it calling it their holy grail product. It is quite expensive and you use 1 pump twice a day. Fortunately it does not have an offensive odor like some growth factor serums can have, it doesn't irritate my skin and it does not feel sticky or tacky. I've only been using it for 1 week so it's too soon to know if it works yet. I find it difficult to get equal amounts of both serums at one time so I don't run out of one chamber of serum before the other.

Too soon to tell
Have only been using for a few weeks. Not much noticeable improvement yet.

On the fence
I'm on the fence if the price is justified for the product. I think my skin is improved. Does it make me look younger? That is a bit of a stretch. I guess I'll have to try it a little longer than 6 weeks to know.

It’s fine
I was hoping for big changes and haven’t seen any. (I have been using for two months.)

Good but VERY expensive!!
Cream is ok but not good enough to justify how expensive this stuff is. Using it once per day and just 1 pump I was able to get EXACTLY 3 month worth. Also, really irritating that you cant tell how much is in the bottle @ all or how much you start with. Overall, I have used other products that are just as effective bit a LOT less $$

Works—but stings
I can tell a difference in the texture of my skin after a few weeks but it does still sting. I would think. Would have acclimated by now.

TNS Advanced Serum
Disappointed in the way product dispenses. Only one of the chambers puts out the correct amount of product when pumped. The other chamber disburses very little or no product at all even when prepped as instructed.

Still Undecided
I’ve been using this product along with several other SkinMedica products for about six months now. The product feels nice when applied but I can’t say that I see any major, or even minor, difference in my skin quality. I’ve read several reviews of this product and most strongly recommend it for its anti-aging properties. I’m still using it although given the high price tag I will probably rethink buying it for much longer. My absolute favorite SkinMedica product remains the HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator. That’s a product I can’t live without! I’m giving the Advanced Serum only three stars in part because I don’t like the packaging (very wasteful and not at all travel friendly) and also because of the high price as well as because I’m not convinced I’m seeing any real results.

Not sure yet!
The only reason for the 3 star is that I gave t been using this product long enough to tell if there’s a change. I’m 55 and still look pretty good but want to see what this does for my lip lines and crepey neck. Will update!!

Satisfied
This product is good, as are all others in their line. I have not noticed any difference in my skin by switching to this, however I am satisfied with the quality. For this experience, it is overpriced. I am sure there are many other products that work as well at lower cost.

Smoky sunrise
I bought this product primarily to use on my aging neck. I have been unable to use it with any consistency due to it irritating my neck. I am now using it on my face without a problem, but I have not used it long enough to notice any progress. If you have a sensitive neck, I would proceed with caution.

Expensive. I'm not sure it's worth it.
I just purchased my first bottle of this. It lasted me only one month using it twice a day... which is not very good. I cannot afford to use it twice a day, so I will use it once per day and hope that will help my skin. After 4 weeks, I cannot say that I have had any outstanding noticeable results, perhaps it needs more time. I take very good care of my skin so who knows... maybe you have to have really bad skin in order to notice a greater difference. I can't say that fine lines have disappeared after 4 weeks. My skin appears overall a bit brighter perhaps, but there are many products that can do that for me at a lesser price. I waited a month to review this product so that I could give it a fair test. I will buy another time and will decide if it's worth it. That money can be put toward other treatments at my medical spa (like fillers that give instant results or RF microneedling treatments that build collagen). As for the serum itself, it goes on fairly smoothly with no odor.

Have not seen any changes in my skin. Still hopeful something good will happen!

I’m enjoying it!
I’m enjoying the product in equal measure as I did it’s previous version. I prefer it’s clear texture and lightweight consistency. The pump works better but I seem to run out of this version of the product faster.

So Far Pretty Good
I bought this when I was able to redeem my LovelySkin rewards, Brilliant Distinctions rewards and a coupon. Otherwise, it is overpriced. It is better than the old formula in that it does not pill like before. My skin seems to look better, in that my melasma patches appear less dark. I mostly purchased this for the firming effects, but I don't notice that benefit yet. I would only buy this if it is on sale. Also, I didn't realize that this item lasts about 4 weeks when used twice a day, so I was disappointed to have to re-order so soon.

Good but not great
My skin looks clear and bright but I don't think this product lives up to claims that it lifts and firms.

Not as good as the TNS
I am not a fan of the Advanced. The regular TNS much better. Results were obvious. This is just so-so.

Product doesn’t last long and dispenser doesn’t work
Unfortunately this product only lasts 2 months! This is the third purchase of this product hoping the others were just a quality control issue. For the price, this should last longer. The dispenser doesn’t work correctly - my first two purchases one side stopped days before the other. This time, one side isn’t even dispensing product. So frustrating because I have seen improvements but I’m going to find a replace brand.

Cosmetic dermatologist recommended
Pros: -seeing changes in my skin over time (I'm using it religiously day and night for months) to treat acne scarring and signs of aging -Does not cause break outs -shrinks down pours Cons: -runs out fast!! like within 2 months or less, there is very little in that gigantic bottle. Why I knocked one star off my review -the nozzle can sometimes squirt out only one of the two ingredients so you have to pump it quite a few times to make both types of serum come out. Which can make you run out even faster. Why I am knocking off another star for this review -Expensive for what you get

Not sure yet
After using this product for a few days, I developed a new reddish-purple spot on my face. I worried that the growth factors caused some abnormal cell growth, so I stopped using the Advanced Serum for now. I will try it again in a few months, though, because it is possible that the new spot had nothing to do with this product. I also started using a new tretinoin prescription in the past month, and I may have been reacting to that. I will update this review once my skin has settled down and acclimated to the tretinoin.
