The large amount of human fibroblast conditioned media in this serum (it is the first ingredient) is why, despite several positives, it is not rated favorably.

Conceivably, it’s a promising field, but your skin doesn’t need to be the guinea pig for what may prove to be problematic with ongoing use. A detailed report on human fibroblast conditioned media is presented in the introductory summary for SkinMedica.įor now, all that can be reasonably concluded is that there are too many unknowns about topical use of growth factors to deem it advisable to seek products with this group of ingredients when shopping for anti-aging products. For detailed information on human growth factor and other growth factors, please refer to the Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary on the Home page of this site. It is, in fact, what SkinMedica is known for: “human fibroblast conditioned media.” The human fibroblast conditioned media/TNS complex present in many of SkinMedica anti-aging products is a cocktail of growth factors, none of which have a history of safety when used as part of a daily anti-aging skin-care routine on healthy, intact skin. For this amount of money, you may as well have your skin discolorations treated with any of the light-emitting devices that have proven successful, from Intense Pulsed Light to Fraxel, assuming you’re a good candidate for these procedures.ĭespite the beneficial ingredients in this product there is a major caveat. All of that is good news, but it doesn’t justify the price. It is brimming with antioxidants and includes a potentially effective amount of the skin-brightening agent alpha-arbutin.
This product is neither unparalleled nor the serum to beat, but we must say that it contains some outstanding ingredients and is beautifully packaged. SkinMedica sells many serums, but because TNS Essential is their most expensive serum, they wanted to let you know it is “unparalleled” for anti-aging, which of course begs the question as to why do they keep selling their other products? Shouldn’t this be the only one you need?
