What the product description says
“A breakthrough in skin science and abundant in our patented S²RM® technology, this powerhouse serum improves the appearance of aging skin while calming and soothing skin redness and irritation.”
Source: NeoGenesis

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains human fibroblast conditioned media.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Lactic acidUnder-dosedAn exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles.

Product summary

"Neogenesis - RECOVERY" is effective for: Anti-aging

Ingredient callouts

  • This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.85% - 1.25%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
