Not sure
Overall, I like the texture and how the formulation is packaged separately in 2 portions that are merged together when you pump it. I feel like that will keep the serum potent longer. I don't know if I see any real changes in my face yet, so I am still waiting. But I don't think it is giving me breakouts and I have very sensitive skin. I think the conditioned media component has a lot of quality skin enhancing ingredients, so I believe it is a good product and will keep using it for now.

Makes skin feel softer, visibly reduced tech neck lines
I've been using this for about a year and a half now, and it's definitely reduced my "tech neck" lines. I also think it's made my skin feel softer. My husband actually commented on it about 3 or 4 months after I'd started using it, without me having mentioned anything about it (he had touched my cheek and said it felt especially soft). It's expensive, but it's also basically the only formula of its kind. There are others that claim to have "growth factors", but most of those are from plants. This is really the only one I've been able to find that uses growth factors from human cells, which are obviously going to be more specific to stimulating our cell growth than plant growth factors are. Also, the growth factors for this serum are way higher on the ingredient list than others I've been able to find. That being said, I do stretch it out by using only once daily instead of twice daily as recommended. I use prescription tretinoin at night in its place. The one thing preventing me from giving this 5 stars is the packaging. In general, it's awkward to have an airless pump that is working on two sides at once. There's a potential for something to go wrong on one side and not the other. I've been pretty lucky with all of my bottles so far until the most recent one, where only one side was dispensing. I contacted LovelySkin and they gave me a bunch of tips which thankfully helped me out and got it working again. However, when I take the top off, there is now often cream that has escaped from the pump since I last used it. I wipe it off with my fingers as best I can and apply it, but it doesn't change the fact that some of this very expensive serum is being wasted due to packaging issues. I wish they would just sell this as its two separate components rather than something to mix together. That also is a bit of an issue since a tiny amount is going to be absorbed into my hand as I mix them. I'd prefer for it all to go on my face and neck. So between that and the issues with the pump (which seems to be a very common problem, based on reviews), I think they need to fix those problems and it would easily be a 5 star product that I would repurchase again indefinitely.

Faulty packaging increases price of expensive but effective product
I have been using this serum for years and consistently get compliments on my skin - I am 71. However, what is really incredibly disappointing is that like others who have reviewed this product, most of the time only one of the dual serums dispenses at first. And I do store the bottle upside down, shake it, even stick a pin in the holes.... All to try to get both types of serum - clear and milky - working at the same time. It is frustrating, but eventually both dispense. Usually after weeks of use. Further, when both serums are no longer coming out of the bottle, I have found that there is still about a weeks worth left! The only way to access this valuable remainder of the serum though is by being creative about getting the top off of the sealed packaging. I do not recommend this to anyone for safety concerns, but personally I want to get my money's worth. It is amazing that a company with great technology to develop a rather unique, effective product cannot design efficient packaging that has their customers in mind. I use other TNS products an all of them dispense just fine, which makes me question whether the company is taking advantage of customers with this particular, very expensive product.

Improvement seen
Using this on a regular basis on my neck and chest my skin is less wrinkled. I gave it 4 stars because there have been several times when the product only came out of one of the chambers when I started a new bottle.

Have been using for years, and always love my TNS Serum. Only negative to not giving it 5 stars is the price.

TNS Advanced + Serum
This serum works well, but I personally am unsure that it's worth the price. I have purchased a second bottle, but am unsure that I'll be purchasing a third. I'm not in love with the dispenser as many others have mentioned. However, I store it upside down as someone else mentioned and it does appear to dispense "correctly", but I don't particularly like the "correct way" it dispenses. Too, even though I apply to a "moist" face and neck, I would like to have a little more product; it's almost like a pump and a half is required, but more pumps means more $$. I don't mind paying a premium price for a product that provides visible results, but I'm not sure that's the case with this serum. I have my eye on some fine wrinkles above my top lip, and even after using a bottle, they are still there. I feel like the serum should target them. The product is good, but I wouldn't consider it great.

Skinnefica serum
I’m not sure about this item just yet. After I put this on my face I put skinceuticals HA intensifier mutineers-glycan dimensional volumizing serum only after the HA glycan serum that my face feels good and there’s a glow of my face. I don’t think I’ll buy it again. I’ll try something else.

Pretty good serum
I tend to have good skin for my age. 60. I haven't seen earth shattering results yet Using it for 6 months now. My skin feels and looks good. The only complaints I have is the packaging is cheap for such an expensive serum and the pump doesn't always work even when following directions. It doesn't last very long but I'm still a believer.

Love this but soooo pricey!
This serum is so amazing and has really helped my skin and complexion. I have received multiple compliments on how well my skin looks. It really does work but it is so pricey, and I had to knock off a star because I have ordered this multiple times and each time the container would get stuck and I could not get the product out.

SkinMedica TNS
This product was recommended to me by my dermatologist. It is a very nice serum but a little clunky in the delivery system. Two separate serums (within one container) are dispensed by pressing the top with two fingers causing the serums come out at the same time from side-by-side openings. When I tried dispensing the serums, only one side worked. After trying a number of times with no success I ended up calling SkinMedica and they gave me tips on how to get both serums out at the same time. This product is dispensed to the back of your hand where you combine it before applying it to your face. Once I got the hang of it, I find it manageable and really like this product. I would have given this five stars if it was easier to dispense.

Love the product, hate the dispenser.
This product is fantastic and does wonders for my skin….when it dispenses correctly. I just purchased another bottle and have my fingers crossed. I understand that the product in both chambers is needed for it to work as intended, but I can’t understand why SkinMedica doesn’t package it in two separate dispensers that are sold in one package - with instructions to mix one pump if each together before applying. That would seem to fix the ongoing issue with the dual chambers.

Skinmedica TNS
I waited a while before buying this product because of the price. After finding it at a reasonable sale price, I purchased it. I am willing to pay for skin products that deliver the results they advertise. After about four weeks of twice-daily use, I see positive skin clarity, tone, and firmness results. I appreciate that the pump delivers just the amount needed to cover the face, which helps this last longer than if I used too much dispensing it myself. I will keep an eye out for another sale and will repurchase it.

When the packaging works, this is a good product
I've read the other reviews about only getting the white or clear product dispensed, and I thought I was lucky because my first bottle worked flawlessly. I stored it upside down and tapped the bottom of the bottle before dispensing it. This bottle, not so lucky. I traveled and took it with me. Enroute, it was on it's side in my cosmetic bag, but as soon as I got to where I was staying, I placed it upside down, tapped the bottle, etc. It worked a few times, then dispensed only the clear fluid a few times. Then the packaging worked correctly, but only intermittently. Upon returning home, I placed it upside down again and tapped the bottle repeatedly, but now it's only been dispensing the white fluid for several days. It's too expensive to not work reliably ALL THE TIME, without the FUSS or need to do acrobatics with the packaging. I have one more bottle, and if I experience the same products, it'll be the last time I purchase this product. A real shame.

expensive but maybe good
I started using this at the suggestion of some dermatologist friends. It is crazy expensive and I’m not exactly sure if it is making a difference or not. I’m always looking for a good dupe.

Love
I love the product and the results. But it's frustrating that the it doesn't dispense out of both openings. At the extreme price, it should come out evenly as expected.

Does it really work
As I've mentioned in other reviews, I use a lot of products. This is so pricey. It's highly annoying that you can't remove the lid to make certain that you've gotten every drop out and I've TRIED to get the lid off!! When I've removed this from my skin regimen, I'm not really sure if it has made a difference. The next time I order it, I need to take up close photos. Sometimes I wonder if I'd be better off to just save the money and put it towards a high level laser treatment, I just don't want to deal with the pain and downtime.

SkinMedica TNS
This is an amazing product that I have been using for years. It makes such a difference in the texture and overall appearance of my skin. Did not give it 5 stars for three reasons; very expensive, sometimes have problem with the dispenser, one side only comes out.. Was told that if you prime it, cover holes and pump slowly several times… that worked! Also cannot tell when product is almost gone until it is. In spite of these issues I don’t ever want to be without it!!!
