COMPARE INGREDIENTS
Active Pro Serum contains all 32 ingredients listed in SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum, based on comparison of publicly available INCI labels. Does not reflect ingredient concentrations or performance.
Our Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media is sourced from a U.S. based biotechnology partner that specializes in human cell culture and regenerative research technologies. The conditioned media is derived from human fibroblast stem cells originally sourced from ethically obtained umbilical tissue that is voluntarily donated postpartum and not derived from aborted fetal tissue.
It is naturally rich in extracellular vesicles (including exosomes), growth factors, and signaling proteins that support skin renewal and cellular communication. Our conditioned media contains naturally occurring extracellular vesicles in the 60–90 nm range at concentrations on the order of approximately 10¹² to 10¹³ (1 to 10 trillion) particles per milliliter, making it a robust source of bioactive components for cosmetic formulations.
Our conditioned media has undergone comprehensive evaluation for cosmetic use and was selected based on stringent quality, safety, and performance benchmarks. We maintain strict standards for ethical sourcing and scientific validation.
DIRECTIONS
Directions:
1. Invert bottle and tap the bottom to help ensure serum is primed for proper dispensing.
2. Dispense about 1/2 to 1 pump from each chamber into hand.
3. Blend serum together and apply to the face, neck, and décolletage.
4. For best results, use ACTIVE PRO SERUM, twice daily, morning and evening, after cleansing and toning. NOTE: If you experience dispensing issues from either of the nozzles, try removing the top pump assembly. Press in the center of the bottle above the logo and just below the connecting seam and carefully pull the top off at the same time without spilling product. Once removed, reattach, tap the bottom of the bottle a few times to prime the serum, and try to pump out the product again. This should clear any air bubbles or alignment issues, and alleviate the pump issue.
Precautions:
1. ACTIVE PRO SERUM is for external use only.
2. Avoid contact with eyes. Rinse thoroughly with water if contact with eyes occur.
3. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
New Users:
A sensitivity test is recommended for those using ACTIVE PRO SERUM for the first time. Apply a small amount of product to a small area of clean, dry skin on the back of your hand. If any irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use immediately.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 526 reviews.
I am a long time Skinmedica TNS user. I bought this while I still had TNS left to do a morning / evening rotation between the two. It feels the same, has the same consistency and I truly can't tell the difference. The one concern has been I've struggled a bit with the pump, but that has since been re-designed since I last purchased. I will most definitely be a return customer, in fact, I'm back now to purchase more!
I literally can’t tell the difference in results with Active Pro Serum versus SkinMedica TNS advanced serum! This product is so much more affordable and less product waste! So glad I discovered it! ❤️🙌🏽
I have been a loyal customer of the skinmedica TNS serum for 3 years. I was looking for something that would not be so bulky when traveling due to packaging. Happened to find the generic version and was pleasently suprised with the quality. Generic product is 75% cheaper. No going back
Ingredients are exactly the same, the order of ingredients are exactly the same, the smell is exactly the same, and as you can see on the video the texture, color, and appearance is exactly the same as Skinmedica TNS. I’ll be buying this product from now on.
I absolutely love this product. I love it when you guys throw a little discount and I just want to stock up. I don’t want to run out amazing product same exact results like I’m just so happy to be able to get this at a more economical price than the Skin Medica TNS.
I have been using this for about a month now. I also have the TNS and was using that before. I know my skin is moisturized just as well as the TNS and it feels the same on my skin. I have been using it twice a day, but since it’s only been a month I’m not expecting amazing results yet. I plan on using this for at least 6 months to see results. I have deep forehead lines and a crease between my eyes I’d like to see some improvement on. Also wrinkles and darkness under my eyes, basically the difficult areas to see results from. I like the texture a lot, I love that it’s fragrance free as well. I’m purchasing a 3 pack as soon as I finish this review.
I’m 38 and had been using the TNS serum for about a year and it made the best difference in my skin. I recently heard about this one and I can tell no difference between it and the expensive one. This one smells and feels the same with the same great results. Keeps my skin feeling firm and looking glowy. I have extremely sensitive and reactive skin and no issues here! SO glad there is a MUCH more affordable option
Actual TNS user here. Tried this and I’m honestly impressed. Feels amazing on my skin and absorbs real well. I actually like that it smells like the original. Great product for the price
The photo I enclosed is a closeup of an area that is problematic for many women my age (closing in on 74 in the fall). I get many comments (even from the PA at my dermatologist) about how good my skin looks (I know they kindly keep “for your age” to themselves). I’ve used the original SkinMedica TNS product for many years but often take a break due to cost. It’s early, but the Active Pro Serum formula seems to behave identically to the TNS.
Would love to see Skincare Generics up the formula to include Exosomes, which SkinMedica has not done…yet.
In the meantime this is a winner!
I struggle with fine lines due to sun exposure, this product is the only one that seems to actually improve them. Dries quickly and is an easy second to last step before applying sunscreen.
The Skin Medica serum and this active pro serum from skin care generics is exactly the same. I’ve used the high-end one won’t even say how much I spent on that till this came along now I no longer buy the high-end when you can buy this and it’s just the same no fancy packaging but same amazing product give it a try. You will not regret it. I always keep backstock because I don’t want to run out of it because it sells out so often lol because that’s how good it is.
I really like this. It has the exact same feel and smell of the other product. I love that they changed the delivery system to the two pump method. Works every time now.
I have owned the brand name TNS serum and yes it worked great, but at a ridiculously high price point. This Active Pro Serum works just as well as the TNS serum for me and at a fraction of the cost. I will continue buying the Active Pro Serum.
I bought this looking for an affordable alternative to the SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum recommended by my aesthetic nurse practitioner. I was skeptical when I first read about this product on a blog, but given the price, I figured it was worth a shot. As you can see from my photos, it has made a massive difference in my skin! I am incredibly happy with this product and highly recommend it if you want high-end results on a budget.
I really love this product. I don’t have any sensitivity around my eyes which is wonderful. I also see a tighter lifted jaw line. What I have noticed that I am not seeing in photos is that it is helping shrink a skin bump that I have had for over a year. I’m very pleased! Thank you Skincare Generics. I’ll post my one month mark in two weeks. This is my 2 week mark.
The dispenser could use some upgrading. The clear serum doesn't come out consistently. There is also a very slight fishy odor. Otherwise it feels the same. Hope this works!
Love the feel of this and love the price! Used the original but was out of my price range for long-term use. So excited to be able to try something that’s such a close approximation!
I absolutely love this product!
I am an ingredient snob, and try many, many products for my dry and aging skin.
I have learned through much testing that you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get quality skincare, but that skincare at this pricepoint was never really available till now.
This leaves my skin juicy and bouncy and plays well with any moisturizer or sunscreen I put on top of it.
That is my ultimate goal and I am so grateful that not only does it work great but is very affordable for me.
Thank you to the makers of this beautiful serum!🙏😊
The glow is phenomenal! I have sensitive skin and almost everything has an initial stinging to it when I apply it. This does not sting. I like that the serums are separated as to not jeopardize the integrity of the ingredients. Most of all, I like the price! I’ve been searching for probably around 4 months for a dupe to the $$$ TNS. I never expected to find an exact ingredient dupe. I’ve not been using this long enough to see skin changes but I’m excited to see what happens.
Can’t put my finger on what it’s done exactly, but my skin looks better. My skin is glowing and I receive regular compliments. I’ve been using .25 Tretinoin for a year and this is the only new thing I’ve changed.
I noticed within the first week the fine lines around my mouth were less and my skin was smoother. My makeup goes on and even stays smooth much longer throughout the day. This product has been a life changer for me.
So far, it’s been 2 weeks and I’ve been using only at night but I can definitely see and feel a difference. My skin is much more plump. Will continue using and report back after a month and then with continued use.!
I am on my second bottle of this and have 2 back ups waiting. I never tried the original serum BUT I absolutely love this. I am seeing a difference in my 55 year old skin. My skin is smoother, clearer and pores and lines are minimized.
I’ve been using this product for a few months and I have definitely seen a difference in my skin texture and skin tone. My skin does not look as blotchy anymore and it looks and feels smoother.. I purchased these two products together in a set and it seems to be a great combination.. The cleanser does not dry my skin at all. I will re-purchase.
