The beauty industry is abuzz with talk of growth factors and exosomes, but did you know that SkinMedica was ahead of the curve over 20 years ago? Their revolutionary TNS Recovery Complex, launched in 2001, was the first cosmetic growth factor serum on the market. Today, this serum remains a favorite among dermatologists and skincare enthusiasts for its incredible age-defying effects. Let’s delve into what makes this product so special.
The Benefits of This Serum
Powered by SkinMedica’s proprietary TNS (Tissue Nutrient Solution), this formula is backed by extensive research. It combines growth factors, exosomes, proteins, and antioxidants known for their skin-rejuvenating properties. Growth factors, in particular, are like keys that unlock specific reactions in the skin, such as supporting collagen and elastin levels essential for skin rejuvenation.
Exosomes, a newer addition to skincare, facilitate communication between cells, supporting collagen levels and skin recovery. In TNS Recovery Complex, each bottle contains over 1 trillion fibroblast-derived exosomes and a high concentration of the original TNS blend at 93.6 percent. Together, these ingredients visibly improve fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone, and texture, promoting a firmer, more youthful appearance.
How to Use It
To reap the benefits of this serum, apply it to your face morning and night after cleansing (and toning, if desired). SkinMedica’s studies show optimal results after using the product consistently for at least 90 days. You can also extend the application to your neck, chest, and hands, as the lightweight texture absorbs quickly.
If you have a synthetic fragrance allergy, consider patch testing the serum before full application. Due to the high concentration of TNS, the formula has a distinct odor, so the addition of fragrance is common in skincare products to mask it.
