TNS Advanced+ Serum
Reviewed by SerumTruth Editorial · Updated July 2026
The packaging is excellent and the price matches it. The growth-factor evidence is real but modest and largely brand-led, and on proven actives per dollar it is very hard to justify over options a tenth of the cost. You are paying for the science story and the bottle.
- Evidence17 / 30
Strength of the research behind the key actives
- Growth Factors (TNS): moderate evidence
- Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2: limited evidence
- Score is the average of the key actives’ evidence grades.
- Potency20 / 25
Dosed at studied levels, not fairy-dusted
- Growth Factors (TNS): dosed at a studied level
- Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2: present, but below a studied dose
- Potency tracks how strongly the actives are dosed, led by the strongest, not how many there are.
- Delivery & stability16 / 20
Delivery tech + packaging that protects fragile actives
- Delivery: standard
- Packaging: airless, opaque
- Air- or light-sensitive actives (Growth Factors (TNS)), so packaging is scored.
- Formulation4 / 10
Disclosure, active breadth, and ingredient generation
- 0 of 2 actives disclose a concentration
- 2 key actives (breadth credit caps at 3)
- Current-generation or synergistic: Growth Factors (TNS), Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2
- Value3 / 15
What a month of use costs vs. the category
- About $187 per month to use
- $295 for 28.4 ml, used about twice a day (about 0.3 ml each time), so a bottle lasts about 1.6 months
- Band: $6/month or less earns full marks, $60/month or more hits the floor.

What’s inside
| Active | Disclosed | Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Growth Factors (TNS) | n/a | Studied |
| Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2 | n/a | Light |
A prestige growth-factor serum built on Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media, plus whey peptides and a supporting peptide and antioxidant blend, in an airless, opaque, dual-chamber pump. The packaging protects its fragile proteins the way this category should. Levels are proprietary and not disclosed.
How it’s delivered
Air- and light-sensitive actives (vitamin C, copper peptides) lose potency fast in the wrong packaging, so delivery and the bottle are scored, not just what’s on the label.
