Love it
Makes my skin feel and look amazing
Crystalm from California, Age 40-49Verified Purchase
Great, particularly when combined with other serums
I absolutely love TNS products. I have been using this one for months now. I have it on auto renew because it’s one I can’t do without. I’ve tried other growth factors, both human and plant based, and I just keep coming back to skinmedica’s tns. I believe it’s the gold standard. For this particular product, I pair it with an HA serum, not necessarily the one from skinmedica, and I feel like it takes it to another level. Highly recommend!

All Time Best!
I have returned to this product over and over despite the cost. In my fifties, I get compliments on my skin all the time. No other solution does more for my face. I can run out of other things… but never this one. It is a must have!

Improved skin
I ordered this product from reviews I read. It claims to improve the APPEARANCE of fine lines and wrinkles. So far, I have seen a better appearance of my complexion, however, I have not been using the product that long to review it's long term affects. I have been using the Dermal Repair Cream from SkinMedica for months, and I absolutely love it's moisturization qualities and improvement there. I believe in the company and what it delivers. Long standing company with results

Great for eye area and forehead
I have repurchased this several times because I feel it works well for my eye and forehead areas. It is a little drying, so one might need a moisturizer if your skin is on the drier side. Everyone's skin is different, and I feel this works for me at this time so I will repurchase it!

Caused acne
I have sensitive, redness prone, normal-to-dry skin with acne rosacea. SkinMedica didn't work as well as expected and caused acne

Good product
I use it pre retinol to help prevent irritation from my retinol (skin medical .05 retinol). It really helps

Holy Grail Hero Product
I use this product religiously after microneedling to help speed up recovery. Sometimes I also apply while microneedling when doing under 1mm depth. Helps promote collagen and speed up recovery within 48-72 hours. Definitely worth the expense!

good product
Really great product for discoloration. it really helps target dark spots, some scars, and tone. I rotate this product about every 2-3 months and can tell a difference in my skin's overall appearance

TNS Recovery Complex
I had high hopes with the TNS recovery complex. First the pros: It’s a nice thick serum, I like the smell. One pump almost covers the entire face. Cons: Sticky /tacky and drys fast. You absolutely need some type of moisturizer on top, my face started to feel tight after it dried. Price point for 1 oz ( 30 ml) is high. To be fair I probably have been using this about 3 weeks, perhaps a longer time is needed to see any result. No results for me. I still love the SkinMedica brand!
Customer from ArkansasVerified Purchase
Great Product!
Love this product! I use it under the TNS Advanced Serum I started seeing a difference in my skin after two weeks My skin texture is smoother and glowing
Customer from New Jersey, Age 70-79Verified Purchase
Good for
I like to use this after Micro Needle for good recovery results or if I get a little too much sun. Not part of my daily routine
Customer from Minnesota, Age 60-69Verified Purchase
PLEASE do not discontinue this product
This product has been a game changer for my skin, including my lips. My skin looks better, tighter and my lips don't need balm every 20 minutes! I'm 66. Please keep this product as is and do not add peptides (because they make some people break out (me) and you wouldn't can't use it after a laser procedure)
Customer from Washington, Age 60-69Verified Purchase
Liked this, did not love it
This was nice, but I think if you use TNS plus Serum, this isn't necessary in addition to it I prefer the TNS plus serum to this, although it layered nicely
CustomerVerified Purchase
Good product
TNS recovery complex went on smoothly, no smell but seems to be drying to my mature skin when it's first applied and dries. I put a moisturizer over it which helps with that dry feel. It does however feel good the following morning. I do love the Skin Medica products and are recommended by my Dermatologist
Amazed from TennesseeVerified Purchase
Improved the texture of my maturing skin
I tried this looking for something to help my maturing skin feel more tight and smooth – and I do agree that it made my skin look more plump and youthful. I have since upgraded to the TNS Advanced + serum and that works even better for my skin. My only complaint about the TNS Recovery Complex is that it can feel a little sticky. It has a slight smell but it wears off quickly

Drying & Sensitizing
For something that's supposed to help "recover" skin, this was very drying and irritated my sensitive skin. I'm starting to learn that even products that claim to be ok for all skin types, even sensitive skin…really aren't. So far, a serum from a different brand has been the only product similar to this one that hasn't hurt my skin (though that brand's other formulations do irritate me…)

Formula change?
Ive used this product in the past and my skin never looked better! This time around, I saw 0 results. I was willing to spend the money for a great product but am hesitant to re-order since the results are just not there anymore
chambersVerified Purchase
The smell
While the product consistency and spreadability was nice, this had such a icky chemical smell that I felt uncomfortable using it. I love the SkinMedica line of products but this one is not a re-purchase for me simply due to its terrible smell. Maybe I got a bad batch but it just didn't seem normal
CustomerVerified Purchase
No improvements
I used it religiously till the end of the bottle. My skin is olive and I’m 30 years old. There were no improvements in my very fine lines. I don’t understand why people seem so excited about this product. It was expensive, and unfortunately it did not deliver any results
