Growth Factors- The best active ingredients for total skin rejuvenation

When it comes to skin care, it can be difficult to know which products work best for you. Whether you’re looking to improve skin tone or plump fine lines, there is one ingredient that could do both and more: growth factors.

What Are Growth Factors?

Found in abundance throughout the body, growth factors are large proteins that float between cells communicating crucial messages relevant to growth, healing, and survival. When these signaling proteins bind to receptors on cell surfaces they send commands to replicate, repair, and rejuvenate.

How Do They Benefit The Skin?

Growth factors are natural substances that play a pivotal role in maintaining healthy, youthful skin. They are responsible for supporting the repair of damaged skin, blood circulation, and making components that provide firmness and elasticity to the skin while helping to maintain skin’s protective functions. Aging and sun-damaged skin require growth factors to maintain itself. However, cells in aging skin make less growth factors, which means less cell growth and thinner, less supple skin.  

Where Do Growth Factors in Skin Care Come From?

Advances in biotechnology over the past decade have created multiple sources of growth factors. The three main types of growth factors on the market are derived from plants, snails, and humans. Although there are plenty of plant and animal growth factors to choose from, ones derived from human cells make the biggest difference since they match closer to our own cells.
