I’ve been hearing a lot about Human Growth Factors. What are they?

Growth factors are proteins that are naturally found in our bodies that allow our cells to communicate with each other and to regulate cell functions. This allows us to create essentials like collagen and elastin.

When we’re younger, our bodies create just the right amount of growth factors to keep skin looking soft, smooth and even-toned.

As we age, we don’t produce as many growth factors on our own, which causes dryness, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles. Growth factor products add to your body’s natural supply of these communication proteins, which supports healthy, youthful skin.

Is there more than one kind of growth factor? What are the differences?

There are lots of growth factor skincare products available today, so it can be hard to tell what sets them apart. While each one provides great anti-ageing benefits for your skin, some offer faster results.

There are growth factors that come from plants, and others that are created in a lab from bacteria, animal or human proteins. They each have their pros and cons, but the benefit of having so many options is that some may work better for you than others.

Growth factors boost skin cell growth

When applied topically, growth factors are one of the best active ingredients for total skin rejuvenation. In fact, growth factors communicate with your cells to create more collagen and elastin, which keep skin smooth and firm for a healthy, youthful complexion.

They’re the cutting edge of anti-ageing science

Anywhere you look today, people are talking about growth factors—and they’re the next big thing for a reason. Human Growth factors are truly unique because only they can promote collagen and elastin growth at the cellular level. This technology gives your skin the building blocks it needs to rejuvenate itself in a brand new way, so if you want to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to anti-ageing advancement, growth factors are the way to go.

Growth factors address multiple ageing concerns at once

Anti-ageing skincare products that contain Human growth factors are famous multitaskers, tackling all kinds of issues from wrinkles and dark spots to lack of firmness and sagging, and everything in between. If you have multiple concerns you want to address and still want to keep things simple, one human growth factor product can often take the place of a few others in your routine.

They’re found naturally in your body

Growth factors are found everywhere in your skin, and they manage essential tasks like replicating cells, reducing inflammation and stimulating collagen production. When you apply growth factors, you’re giving your body more of what it already makes by itself, so it’s a natural, safe and effective anti-ageing ingredient.

They can delay the need for cosmetic procedures

Growth factors are great for addressing skin sagging and laxity, so if you’re not quite ready for a cosmetic procedure but still want to care for your skin and restore a youthful complexion, human growth factor products are your best bet. They also help extend the benefits you get from cosmetic procedures, so you don’t need to have them done as often.

Human Growth factors pair well with the products you already use

If you have other anti-ageing products you love to use, you can easily add growth factors to boost your results. Growth factors get along with vitamin C, retinol, hyaluronic acid, . . . and the list goes on! So whatever treatments you’re using now, you can get the added benefits of growth factors.

Growth factors are great for every skin type, including sensitive skin

Since human growth factors are found naturally in your body, they’re an especially gentle skincare ingredient. They can be used on any skin colour, age or condition! Most people experience no adverse reaction to human growth factors, so even those with very sensitive or post-procedure skin can use Human growth factors.
