Side by side serums with an overall anti-aging effect

If you want to fight wrinkles, firm your face, brighten your complexion, undo age spots, and protect your skin from environmental aggressors, you're probably going to need more than one serum. Luckily, with TNS Essential Serum, SkinMedica is essentially giving you two for the price of one.

OK, so at $250, the price is a little steep. But once you see the effect this conjoined formula has on your skin, you'll consider it a steal.

In one chamber, you'll find what SkinMedica calls the APS Corrective Complex. It's an anti-aging amalgam of peptides, antioxidants (ergothioneine, vitamin E and green tea among them) and brighteners (such as bearberry-derived alpha-arbutin) that comes at your complexion from all angles to fight every conceivable symptom of skin aging. And if it misses anything, the TNS Recovery Complex in the other chamber is ready to make a physiological impact with Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media, AKA growth factor, so skin is in optimum regeneration mode.

Kept apart until you pump them out and blend them, the two divisions of TNS Essential Serum come together for some of the most thorough and harmonious multitasking we can ever remember seeing. And that's worth the price (and the slightly unusual protein-centric scent).
