TNS Essential Serum

AM/PM Use: Press on the center of the pump and apply a single pump onto the back of your hand, blend together and apply to the face, neck and décolleté morning and night. As with any skin care product, avoid getting in eyes. If contact occurs, rinse eyes thoroughly with water.

Chamber 1:
Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media (TNS^®) : A physiologically balanced, naturally secreted and stabilized combination of multiple human growth factors, cytokines and natural proteins responsible for the production of collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins.
APS CORRECTIVE COMPLEX
Palmitoyl Tripeptide 5 : A tripeptide with a unique sequence that mimics the body&’s own mechanism to activate Transforming Growth Factor (TGF-beta), known as the key element in the synthesis of collagen.
Hydrolyzed Silk (Sericin) : A combination of silk peptides encapsulated in liposomes that assimilate with skin cells to stimulate production of hyaluronic acid and collagen to improve skin tone and texture. Inhibits tyrosinase activity to reduce uneven skin pigmentation.
Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline : A lipid soluble amino acid that is essential in collagen synthesis. It works with ascorbic acid to increase collagen synthesis.
Ergothioneine (EGT) : A natural amino acid with super-antioxidant properties that protect cells against oxidative damage, inflammation and inhibits collagen degrading MMP enzymes.
Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) : Effectively counteracts free radical damage and provides significant protection against UVA-induced detrimental effects of photoaging. Coenzyme Q10 works synergistically with vitamin E in preventing damage to lipid membranes and plasma lipids.
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract : Reduces redness and suppresses skin inflammation and irritation while providing powerful antioxidant properties that help protect cells from free radical damage initiated by environmental factors.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate : A stable, lipid-soluble ester form of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), a free radical scavenger that fights signs of aging while enhancing collagen production for firmer skin. Helps reduce hyperpigmentation and age spots.
Tocopheryl Acetate : A stabilized ester of vitamin E considered the most important antioxidant and free-radical scavenger. Moisturizes the skin and improves smoothness.
Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Leaf Extract : A plant derived inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) that prevents the degradation of the extracellular matrix thereby helping to prevent wrinkle formation. The extract also exhibits antioxidant activity which helps fight the visible signs of aging.
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate Lysate : A yeast extract that when topically applied defends against the detrimental effect of ozone (which has an ability to deplete antioxidants in the skin), and improve the barrier function of the skin.
Alpha-Arbutin : A tyrosinase inhibitor found in extracts from Bearberry plant. It provides skin lightening effect by inhibiting activity of the enzyme tyrosinase which is critical in the production of skin melanin pigmentation.
Gamma Aminobutyric Acid : When administered systemically, it functions as neuromuscular inhibitor which reduces excitability of the nerves and produces muscle relaxation.
Hyaluronic Filling Spheres : Dehydrated filling spheres penetrate into skin folds of varying depth and trap water in the superficial layers of the skin. The remarkable characteristic of hyaluronic acid that acts as a molecular sponge, enables the spheres to swell and exert pressure in the direction of the surface, resulting in a smoothing effect on the skin.

This product has improved the overall texture and fine lines of my 50 year old skin and is the only thing I have found that really has made a difference.
Pros: It works!
Cons: Expensive, odor not great but disappears quickly, the 2 pump system can be tricky at times and frustrating if 1 side clogs.

The results are there. I am always on the lookout for a replacement, but I haven't found it yet. The ingredients are great except for a few too many preservatives, perhaps that goes with the actives.
Pros: Works, growth factors, peptides, antioxidents, skin brighteners and a botox alternative. What more could you want?
Cons: takes a bit to get used to the pump and of course price.

Pros: My skin looks more radiant and feels smoother.
Cons: Very Expensive. There is an odor when using the product which does go away. The dual chamber dispenser requires some practice to get equal amounts of the product.
