SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex, 0.63 Ounce

TLDR; drastically improves skin healing. Buy the Essential Serum if you want more moisture for anti-aging benefits.First off, I ordered this product in Jan 2019 from Amazon and it was authentic. Regarding the Recovery Complex (RC), I first used this product after this was recommended at my skin spa for post-op laser, and I have started using this product again to help my skin heal after recently struggling with an infection (gross). This product works wonders for dramatically reducing healing time, and in the process, you will notice an improvement to skin tone, texture— and yes, even lines. The product is reddish in tint, and while sticky, smooths easily onto the skin. Since it is serous, the formula is neither moisturizing nor drying, but leaves your skin feeling nice and tight. I am in my 30s, so I use it mainly on targeted areas, and occasionally on the entirety of my face if I feel it could use a boost. If you're looking for a targeted treatment to work on scars, heal after post-op, and rejuvenate troubling patches, nothing beats this product. If you're simply looking for anti-aging benefits, I would try the Essential Serum instead, or use this in conjunction with your retinoid and moisture of choice (e.g., HA).

I'm 40+ (ahem) and a year ago, my face used to look like an orange peel (in texture all over not in color, haha). I had deep wrinkle grooves around and under my eyes, between my eyes, and forehead. I had the beginnings of age spots on my cheeks and I would break out one week, have dry as a bone skin the next week, then break out the week after. My pores on my chin, nose and cheeks were so bad my kid asked me what "all those black dots are". And at the time, I though my face was as good as it was going to be. I took care of it and I used "good" products that were fairly expensive, so they must be good, right?I was turned onto Skinmedica over a year ago - my friend gave me a kit that had travel sizes of several different products like the cleanser, HA5, etc. I thought, huh. OK, I'll try it. I didn't look up the price tag on that stuff, I just used it and had no expectations that it would work. OH. MY. GOD, ya'all, I noticed a difference with my skin in just a few weeks. When I ran out of those little bottles I though, OMG YA'ALL, no way am I dropping that much money on skin care! But I just couldn't go back to my old skin care products.The TNS Recovery Complex is the reason my face looks the way it does today. The deep groves are gone. The orange peel skin is gone. The age spots are gone. My pores (and black heads) have disappeared. My eye lids are so smooth my eye shadow just glides on. My face powder glides on! Someone actually asked me the other day how my face looked "photoshopped" and what base, foundation, highlighter, bronzer etc I used (like all the gross IG videos nowadays of chicks caking 50 different foundations and powers on their faces to get that "flawless" face). I told her I wear a little bit of powder, that's all!Usage - I use this once as day in the AM. At that pace, I've had to buy 2 bottles per year. I have kicked it up to 2 times a day just this year as I have realized I can afford 4 bottles a year.Results: Personally I saw results in a few weeks.This is worth every penny. Also, I have had no problems at all ordering and getting certified product through Amazon. Per a rep at Skinmedica, they are now an authorized distributor.

My wife usually purchases this product through her doctor and thought she could save some money getting on Amazon. After reading several reviews concerning authenticity I thought it would be a good idea to check directly with SkinMedica.No one wants to spend this kind of money and feel like they are getting product that has been tampered with or is not authentic. Below are a number of concerns I read in the reviews concerning authenticity and tampering. I contacted SkinMedica at this number: (866) 867-0110 and dialed "0" to speak with someone. They were very nice and helpful.1: I confirmed there is a hole in the bottom of both the 1 oz and 0.63 oz size. This hole is part of the original packaging and SkinMedica stated the only way to tamper with contents is to physical break the container.2: The color can shift from batch to batch, and time can impact this as well.3: Old product. The box and dispenser have a code on it which allows SkinMedica to determine use by date. Call the number listed above if you want to be sure. SkinMedica did confirm there is an expiration / use by date for the TNS Recovery product and it should be used by that date.4: Authorized re-seller. SkinMedica confirmed Amazon is an authorized re-seller but be aware of unauthorized internet re-sellers who may sell on Amazon. See the list of unauthorized internet re-sellers here; https://www.skinmedica.com/authenticityOur product arrived sealed, with an authenticity seal as well. My wife did question its authenticity though as the 0.63 oz dispenser did not have the contents indicator like on the 1 oz dispenser. It was also odd that the 1 oz dispenser was much smaller than the 0.63 oz dispenser. SkinMedica confirmed only the 1 oz dispenser has the contents indicator and is smaller.My wife loves the product and I thought it would be helpful to provide this information to relieve any concerns purchasers of this product may have regarding authenticity.

This has made a difference. First time in my life someone commented on my skin...

This is the second time I order this product through Amazon. I am satisfied with my purchase. It arrived promptly and well packed.I like how my skin looks and feels while using this product. And Amazon is where I can get the best price.
