SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum
No. 07 in Edit 046

SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum

Serums USA Approx. $295

The most famous serum in this whole category and the one people mean when they say they use a growth factor serum. The dual chamber pump is the real design idea: the two textures stay separate until the moment you use them. The list reads as advertised, human fibroblast conditioned media in first position after water and glycols, with a dimer tripeptide, whey protein and a chlorella extract behind it, and no parfum anywhere, which confirms the brand's fragrance free claim rather than just repeating it. At two hundred and ninety five dollars it is the most expensive thing here.

  • Fragrance-free, confirmed against the published list
  • The conditioned media sits high in the list, not at the bottom
  • One step, so the routine around it can stay simple
