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.
