I notice the effects more now than I did even five years ago. *One last thing I would like to add about growth factors is that they seem to give better results to more mature skin. They also recently reformulated to make it not only more potent, but fragrance free, they fixed the pump issue and I’ve heard it’s absolutely amazing. That makes the price more in line with the others. I loved that SkinMedica has the peptides and antioxidants as well as growth factors (unlike the other mentioned brands though Neocutis has a new peptide/growth factor serum) for a truly one and done serum minus a retinoid.

There are other growth factor brands that give me a similar feel on my skin such as AnteAGE, Neocutis (original) and hMSC Skincare without the scent or pump issue. I do feel like the product was effective as far as giving me that pregnancy glow and nice healthy skin feel, however the negatives of the scent and pump put me off so much that I did not repurchase. It was such an effort to pump each side paying attention to get equal amounts, they never seemed to be equal and and it felt like one day I got tons of growth factor and one day tons of the other peptide side. I like the texture, the scent is terrible (hugely fragranced like white floral that made me choke a bit), I hated the pump as one side would at time squirt nothing while the other would squirt too much. I was extremely excited to try this serum as I’ve heard tons of rave reviews about it. They really helped put growth factors on the map so to speak. This product has a lot of nice things about it, SkinMedica is most definitely at the forefront as far as growth factor technology as one of the pioneers and leaders for a long time.
The texture overall is a light creamy gel serum. Then I mixed them shown below before applying. You can see the two colors here pumped out.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate A stable form of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), a proven antioxidant.Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract A natural antioxidant rich in polyphenols.Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) An antioxidant that helps to counteract free radical damage and works synergistically with vitamin E.Ergothioneine (EGT) An antioxidant with free radical scavenging properties.Peptides help support skin: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Hydrolyzed Silk (Sericin), Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline.Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media (TNS ®) A physiologically balanced, naturally secreted and stabilized growth factor blend that helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone and texture.Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.TNS Essential Serum ® offers a combination of the renowned growth factor formula, TNS Recovery Complex ® in one chamber and APS Corrective Complex in the other. This all-in-one skin rejuvenating serum improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone and texture.
You pump both sides and mix before applying. This product has a dual chamber approach with one side being the growth factor complex and one being the peptide/antioxidant/treatment side. It’s one of the most expensive growth factor serums o n the market which is why it took me a few years to cave and try it. I finally tried the SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum early last year.
Yes they are more effective when used twice a day but a lot of times I only use at night in order to use an acid toner in the daytime. As basic tips growth factors serums should be applied first after cleansing closest to the skin for most effectiveness (they’re expensive you want them to work right?) and don’t use on same nights as acids as they have the potential to break down the protein bonds of your expensive serum. I’m on a quest to try more this year and I’ve tried quite a few so far. Growth factors give my skin that bounce back, elasticity and healthy feel. The end result from growth factors is glowing pregnancy like skin that’s healthy and revitalized. Think cultured stem cells that produce proteins that are collected for skincare (there are no cells in these serums and the same donor cells can produce these proteins once cultured for decades). I’ve written about them before (even this week) so I won’t get really into them in detail. Growth factor serums is something that I have been intrigued by for some years.
