What is Growth Factors?
Skin Type: Can be used by all skin types
Skin Concern: Sensitive, loss of elasticity
Overview

A special class of cosmetic ingredients that involve signaling pathways of the skin to ignite a cascade of reactions that deliver desired results. Growth Factors used in skincare can be derived from various sources, which under meticulous research and assessments have proven to trigger various actions in the skin most notably in the areas of regeneration, repair, and rejuvenation.
The efficacy of Growth Factors lend their way to directly binding with receptors on the surface of specific cells to trigger targeted events. Unlike how most ingredients - especially those of nutritional nature - require the absorption and utilization by cells, Growth Factors directly stimulate action upon binding.
Derivatives/ Variations
The synthesis and extraction of growth factors can be of various sources and via different pathways:
Lab produced: synthetic and identical to growth factors found in humans, synthesized in the laboratory from plant-based or animal starting materials
Plant derived: peptides found in plants that works in similar pathways as growth factors, producing growth factor-like effects
Blood derived: extracted from the patient and using one’s own growth factors present in platelet-rich plasma to promote cellular regeneration Stem cell derived: peptides - also signaling molecules - that are technologically derived with growth factor-like effects
Ingredient with Synergistic Effects
Vitamin A: a potent ingredient as our cells have receptors to directly absorb and convert the ingredient into usable form upon entering the skin. Influences cellular expression to normalize skin thickness by adjusting speed of cellular turnover, improving a plethora of skin conditions such as regeneration, rejuvenation, diminishing hyperpigmentation…etc. Boosts skin renewing effects of Growth Factors.
