Latisse is a prescription for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker. Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.

Key Ingredients:

• Betaine → Maintains moisture, water balance, and promotes collagen production through its nature as a glycine betaine, reducing and reversing the negative effects that dehydration stressors have on the skin.
• Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol → A complex of three natural sugar compounds that have the ability to entrap free water molecules and stimulate the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, while increasing ceramide production and skin’s water content.
• Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid → A low molecular weight, low particle sized hyaluronic acid. Unlike normal hyaluronic acid, this material has the ability to penetrate the skin’s stratum corneum. Does not wash off, but rather remains in the skin to trap water and deliver enhanced moisture into the epidermis.
• Sodium Hyaluronate → A derivative of hyaluronic acid that naturally occurs in the skin and is part of the intercellular matrix, the ground substance that fills in the spaces between cells and fibers. Has the ability to retain water on the surface of the skin which gives immediate smoothness to rough skin surfaces and significantly improves overall skin condition.
• Vitamin B5 (Calcium Pantothenate, Pantethine, Panthenol) → Has hygroscopic properties, giving it the ability to attract water molecules from the surrounding environment through absorption or adsorption. The application of vitamin B5 may help to reduce water loss and prevent skin dehydration. Vitamin B5 is essential for normal epithelial function.
• Wakame Kelp Extract (Undaria Pinnatifidia Extract) → Rich in sodium, iron, potassium, calcium, and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12. A hyaluronidase inhibitor which prevents the breakdown of hyaluronic acid and an elastase inhibitor.

Special Offer

 Purchase TNS Essential Serum ($250)

and recieve a complimentary

facial exfoliant treatment ($80 value)

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).

SkinMedica has had a new clinical paper published in the May ‘09 JDD (Journal of Drugs in Dermatology).  This is a prestigious medical journal that has published two clinicals from SkinMedica about the TNS Recovery Complex in the last year alone.  This new study talks about TNS and TNS Essential Serum.  At SkinMedica we study our cosmeceuticals like our pharmaceuticals using double blind studies by well known Dermatologists.
