TNS LINE REFINE™ by Skin Medica Recommended by Whom You Know


It's Monday in Manhattan and we hope the stress of the week is not already causing fine lines!  However, we know this is a stressful place, and we have just the thing from Skin Medica to help with these kinds of issues.  Introducing TNS Line Refine! It visually reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes and crow’s feet while providing long term anti-aging benefits.  We want to keep aging at bay, and will grow old as gracefully as possible!
  • Smoothes, tightens and fills in fine lines
  • Provides long term anti-aging benefits with growth factors and peptides
  • Light reflectors rapidly soften the appearance of fine lines and conceal skin imperfections
Slowly twist bottom of the applicator until the product comes out onto the tip. After applying a moisturizer, gently pat the product onto lines with your finger tips. Apply twice daily, AM and PM, or as needed. As with any skin care product, avoid getting in eyes. If contact occurs, rinse eyes thoroughly with water.

Key Ingredients

Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media → A physiologically balanced, naturally secreted and stabilized combination of multiple human growth factors, cytokines and natural proteins responsible for the production of collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide 5 → A tripeptide with a unique sequence that mimics the bodyĆ¢'s own mechanism to activate Transforming Growth Factor (TGF-beta), known as the key element in the synthesis of collagen.
Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline → A lipid-soluble amino acid that is essential in collagen synthesis. It works with ascorbic acid to increase collagen synthesis.
Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate → A synthetic peptide capable of relaxing facial expression wrinkles by inhibiting muscle contraction. Imitates the activity of Waglerin 1, a protein found in the venom of the Temple Viper, which inhibits neuromuscular communication.
Gamma Aminobutyric Acid → When administered systemically, it functions as a neuromuscular inhibitor which reduces excitability of the nerves and produces muscle relaxation.
Hyaluronic Filling Spheres → Dehydrated filling spheres penetrate into skin folds of varying depth and trap water in the superficial layers of the skin. The remarkable characteristic of hyaluronic acid that acts as a molecular sponge, enables the spheres to swell and exert pressure in the direction of the surface, resulting in a smoothing effect on the skin.
Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) → Effectively counteracts free radical damage and provides significant protection against UVA-induced detrimental effects of photoaging. Coenzyme Q10 works synergistically with vitamin E in preventing damage to lipid membranes and plasma lipids.
Silica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Mica (CI 77019) → Optimizes the optical diffusion effect of light, which lessens the visibility of dark circles and discolorations to enhance skin appearance.
