So you bought SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum-and now you’re wondering how to maximize your results. That’s a smart question, because while this serum is one of the most advanced anti-aging formulas available, how you use it matters just as much as what’s inside the bottle. Designed to visibly improve fine lines, wrinkles, firmness, and overall skin texture, TNS Advanced+ works best when it’s applied correctly, layered with the right supporting products, and used consistently over time. From understanding when to apply it in your routine to pairing it with the right cleanser, moisturizer, and daily SPF, a few simple adjustments and recommendations that can help you get the most out of every pump-so your skin sees smoother, firmer, more radiant results sooner and more noticeably.
SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum is a high-performance serum-so the best way to use it is to treat it like a cornerstone of your routine.
Thanks to the new and improved dual-chamber pump dispenser, the formula is easier to apply, dispenses more precisely, and makes consistency effortless.
Step 2: Once your skin is nourished and supported with SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum, the next step—used primarily in the evening—is to introduce Obagi Retinol 1.0 to further enhance visible skin renewal. This advanced treatment is powered by retinol, a gold-standard ingredient known for accelerating skin cell turnover and improving the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and tone over time. What makes Obagi Retinol 1.0 work so well within this routine is the way the previous steps help prepare and protect the skin: TNS Advanced+ supports skin rejuvenation, HA5 replenishes hydration, and Dermal Repair Cream strengthens the moisture barrier—creating an ideal environment for retinol to work more effectively while minimizing dryness or irritation. When layered thoughtfully, retinol becomes the refining step that elevates the entire routine, helping skin look smoother, clearer, and more refined with continued use.
Step 3: After applying SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum and Obagi Retinol 1.0 the next step to maximize your results is to follow with SkinMedica HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator—a hydration-focused formula that helps seal in moisture and support smoother, more plump-looking skin. This pairing is especially effective because HA5 is powered by five forms of hyaluronic acid, a standout ingredient known for drawing and holding water in the skin to visibly soften the look of fine lines and improve overall elasticity. While TNS Advanced+ helps support the appearance of firm, rejuvenated skin over time, HA5 delivers immediate, surface-level hydration that enhances glow and comfort, making your skin look healthier and feel more supple—creating the perfect “support system” for the advanced anti-aging benefits of your serum.
Step 4: After applying SkinMedica HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator, the ideal next step is to seal everything in with SkinMedica Dermal Repair Cream—a rich, restorative moisturizer designed to nourish, comfort, and visibly smooth the skin while supporting a more youthful-looking complexion. This cream pairs beautifully with HA5 because it features vitamin E, a powerhouse antioxidant known for helping protect the skin from environmental stressors while reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier. While HA5 delivers lightweight, plumping hydration, Dermal Repair Cream adds a deeper level of conditioning and barrier support, helping reduce dryness and maintain long-lasting softness. Together, they create a cushiony, hydrated finish that helps your skin look more supple, refined, and resilient—especially when used consistently as part of a results-driven routine.
Step 5: Once your skin is nourished and supported with SkinMedica Dermal Repair Cream, the next step—used primarily in the evening—is to introduce Obagi Retinol 1.0 to further enhance visible skin renewal. This advanced treatment is powered by retinol, a gold-standard ingredient known for accelerating skin cell turnover and improving the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and tone over time. What makes Obagi Retinol 1.0 work so well within this routine is the way the previous steps help prepare and protect the skin: TNS Advanced+ supports skin rejuvenation, HA5 replenishes hydration, and Dermal Repair Cream strengthens the moisture barrier—creating an ideal environment for retinol to work more effectively while minimizing dryness or irritation. When layered thoughtfully, retinol becomes the refining step that elevates the entire routine, helping skin look smoother, clearer, and more refined with continued use.
Step 6: To finish your routine—and protect everything you’ve just applied—the final and most important step is EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46. Daily sunscreen is what truly ties this entire skincare regimen together, because it helps prevent the UV damage that can undo the visible benefits of your serums, hydrators, moisturizers, and retinol over time. After investing in powerhouse steps like SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum for rejuvenation and Obagi Retinol 1.0 for resurfacing, SPF becomes the essential shield that preserves smoother texture, firmer-looking skin, and a more even tone. EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 is a best seller for a reason: it’s lightweight, layers beautifully under makeup, and is especially loved by those with sensitive or acne-prone skin thanks to its calming formula and non-greasy finish. With broad-spectrum protection and a comfortable daily feel, UV Clear makes sun protection effortless—helping your entire routine perform better, longer, and more visibly.
In Conclusion: To see and feel the most maximum results from this routine, consistency is key. Skincare—especially with high-performance products like growth-factor serums, hydrators, retinol, and daily SPF—works best when used as part of a strict, ongoing regimen, not as occasional steps. While many users notice improvements in hydration and glow quickly, visible changes in texture, firmness, and fine lines require daily commitment and continued use over time. Following each step in the correct order, staying consistent morning and night, and never skipping SPF during the day will help ensure the products can perform at their highest potential—so you can truly maximize your results.
