This is a product-information review, not a firsthand test. SkinMedica TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream is a 2 oz moisturizer marketed for hydration and moisture-barrier support, including for dry or post-procedure skin. Available product listings provide its ingredients, directions and package imagery, but do not establish independent clinical results for this cream or provide reviewer before-and-after evidence.
What the product is—and what this review can establish
SkinMedica TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream is sold in a 2 oz size. Advanced Dermatology displayed a price of $72 when its listing was checked; price and availability can change. The seller positions it as a moisturizer for hydration and moisture-barrier support, with descriptions that also mention dry or post-procedure skin. Those are product claims, not independent proof of a clinical outcome.
Retailer descriptions characterize TNS as a mixture of human growth factors, cytokines, antioxidants and matrix proteins, and describe the cream as using peptide and ceramide technology. These descriptions should be understood as seller or brand language. The available listings do not establish that this particular cream produces a measured clinical benefit.
Ingredients listed for the cream
Advanced Dermatology’s published ingredient list includes water, cetyl ethylhexanoate, cetearyl alcohol, Hydroxypropyl Bispalmitamide MEA, Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media, dimethicone, olive and soybean oils, glycerin, squalane, peptides, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, oat extract, retinyl palmitate, tocopheryl acetate, beta-glucan, allantoin, bisabolol, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate, as well as emulsifiers, stabilizers and preservatives. Artemedica also publishes an ingredient listing, but peptide naming and ingredient order differ between online listings. Check the package panel on the unit you buy for its exact formula: Advanced Dermatology product listing and Artemedica product listing.
#1 Best Overall
- Helps in restoring your skin's barrier function and balance

- Enhances the skin texture
The listed formula includes moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin, squalane and sodium hyaluronate, alongside ingredients such as retinyl palmitate and several named peptides. An ingredient list alone cannot establish how the finished product feels, how an individual will tolerate it, or whether it will improve a particular skin concern.
How the retailer says to use it
- Cleanse and tone the skin, then apply any treatment products.
- Apply a small amount of cream to the face twice daily.
- The retailer says the cream may also be applied to the neck and chest. Avoid the eye area.
Advanced Dermatology advises rinsing thoroughly if the product gets into the eyes, stopping use if irritation or a rash develops, and consulting a physician after procedures. Follow the package directions for your specific unit and ask your treating clinician before using it on recently treated skin.

What to consider before buying
- Price and size: The listing checked showed 2 oz for $72 at Advanced Dermatology; confirm the current price and availability directly with the seller.
- Formula fit: Compare the package ingredient panel with your sensitivities and current routine, especially since online ingredient listings are not identical.
- Use after a procedure: The retailer recommends physician consultation after procedures, so get advice from your clinician rather than assuming a product marketed for post-procedure skin is appropriate for your specific treatment.
- Evidence: The available sources support describing the product’s marketing, directions and listed ingredients, but not claiming independently verified clinical efficacy for this cream.
