Best to spend the extra money on the TNS Advanced+ Serum
I know the TNS Advanced + Serum is ridiculously expensive (as is the Recovery Complex); however, if you can swing it, I would suggest spending the extra bucks on the Advanced+. While I think the Recovery Complex 'works' well and is less expensive, it's just too STICKY for me. Whatever they put in the Advanced+ serum includes the recovery complex plus other ingredients that makes it a much smoother, more pleasant feel going on. I will say though that the Advanced can make your makeup and other products "ball up" on your face which isn't great either. I don't seem to have that issue with the Recovery Complex. So it's either sticky or the products getting goopy on your face. I've been told to wait to apply other products after the Advanced but that doesn't seem to help either. So I guess bottom line - if you are going to apply this in the morning before your makeup for the day, use the Recovery Complex. If you typically put this on only at night, use the Advanced+. Or break the bank and buy both and use Recovery in the morning and Advanced at night.

Didn't see much result
Accidentally bought this after my other SkinMedica product was discontinued and I did not see the result like I did with the discontinued product. This does not mean I didn't see results, because I did! My face was definitely tighter and brighter but I just think for the same price as I was paying for the other product and less results, would make me not recommend this as much

Probably too young to use this
I am in my mid 40s with reasonably good Asian skin. My skin is losing its tightness and I have some minor wrinkles around my mouth and between eyebrows. I have finished one bottle and I cannot tell any difference. Rentionl and mandelic acid have made noticeable difference on my skin after consistently using both for a month. This product certainly cannot match those two. Maybe I don’t have enough wrinkles and this product is not necessary for me. The serum dries really fast so you have to spread it quickly. It leaves a slightly sticky residue on my hands so I have to wash my hands before putting on other product.

Meh...
Not a fan of the scent. Nothing noticeable after using.

Not my favorite
I feel like this could be great for other skin types but my skin wasn’t a fan. I have very oily, acne prone, sensitive skin and this just didn’t do much for me. Especially not for the price.

Was hoping for more
This product was recommended by a friend. Unfortunately, I did not have the same results as her. Disappointing for spending so much money.

It’s ok
I really like how it makes my skin healthy, but don’t like how it makes my peachy face hairs triple in quantity. I discontinued because of that.

Going back to TNS serum
I thought I’d give this a try after my TNS serum ran out. Didn’t have an effect on my skin like I thought it would, going back to the serum.

Decent
I've tried this serum a couple of times based on reviews, but I really don't see much of a difference with it - or enough to justify the cost

Can't decide
I have been using this product for 35 days. I'm not certain I see an improvement but maybe. I squeeze product on back of my hand before dotting on my face and that hand looks somewhat better/improved compared to other hand. It's a slight tightening, brightening. I do not see that on my face, but if hand skin looks better then it must be doing something to my face. I will probably repurchase and give it another month. Very small amount of product. Lasted me 35 days. Some days, I used it twice though.

Skin rejuvenate
This was recommended by my dermatologist as part of my micro needling treatments. It is too early to tell if it is working. I have used this twice a day and it only lasted six weeks. It is much too expensive for a product that needs to be replenished so frequently. I definitely would not be a long time user.

Love this line but not impressed with this product --perhaps just not right for my skin
I use and love SkinMedica products, and so I bit the bullet and splurged for the Recovery Complex. I wish I has saved my money. Perhaps I am not the right person for this product. I am 44 (next month), and my skin looks good for my age and lack of a dermatologist. My skin has its issues, though it is dry and extremely sensitive and shows signs of too much sun in my first 20yrs of life. I have dark spots, a few fine lines around my eyes, bunny lines (if you wrinkle your nose, they are the lines you get between your eyes -- I dont have to wrinkle my nose to see them), and hereditary deeper lines across my forehead. I also have some melasma from pregnancy. I was hoping that this product would help in particular with the melasma, dark spots, and fine lines. After using the product per the instructions twice a day religiously until I had used the whole bottle, I did not notice any improvement with these issues. My skin felt really nice after using the Recovery Complex, but my skins feel is pretty good as is, and my SkinMedica C&E complex and my exfoliating products already help with that. My sensitive skin had no adverse reactions at all, but I just didnt see results. If you have dry skin, definitely dont expect this product to stand in for your moisturizer. I still used my usual face cream day and night. The smell is a bit off-putting, but it dissipates quickly and should not stop you from using this product if it works for you. Maybe if my skin texture had more issues I would have noticed more results, but for discoloration and fine lines that mostly only I notice I just wasnt impressed. The bottle also didnt last as many months as I had expected. One pump wasnt enough for me, and I am very short with a proportionately small head.

Not for the acne prone or oily.
I started using this product and worked hard tolerating the odor looking forward to the results. within three days I had a pimple. Thought nothing of it, until the 7th day I had a full face of acne. I am 57 so you can imagine what this made me feel like. It just go to show that all the wonderful reviews do not work for everyone. This product was an investment. Would love to get my money back .

Not sure if it works
I started using it because my cosmethologist recommended it. It helped heal my burnt skin but I am not sure what it does in terms of wrinkles and/or texture. I am 34 and maybe it is too soon to tell because I do not have many wrinkles, if any at all.

Still Deciding...
I've had this for a couple months and my dermatologist told me to use it morning and night. Well for a couple weeks when I did this, my face was constantly broken out. I am trying now using it a couple times a week at night. I hope this works better because I've heard so many positive things about this product.

Hope it is working
I have used this product for a long time. When I stop using it I seem to notice that I look more wrinkled so I will continue to use it. It was recommended on Oprah.
