Fullerene and Growth Factor Ingredient Alternatives for Serums

Question

1. I would like to ask about `fullerene`. Does MySkinRecipes not sell `fullerene`?
Are there any alternative ingredients that can be used instead?
2. For serums containing `growth factor` as an ingredient, do the staff have recommendations for types of ingredients that are `growth factor`?
Thank you.

Information on Fullerene and Growth Factor Ingredients

Regarding your questions:

Fullerene Availability: Yes, MySkinRecipes does have a Fullerene product available: Fullerene C60 (Encapsulated in Hyaluron, 500ppm). This ingredient is known for its strong antioxidant properties, helping to protect the skin from UVA/UVB damage, reduce pores, and improve acne conditions.
Growth Factor Related Ingredients for Serums: For serums targeting effects similar to growth factors, we have several ingredients that can be recommended:
- Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF, Recombinant): This is a recombinant growth factor that helps strengthen the skin barrier, restore skin from photo-aging, and reduce acne and inflammation.
- Pal-GHK, Pal-GQPR (eq Matrixyl 3000): This peptide blend stimulates collagen synthesis, helps reduce wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and supports skin structure while reducing inflammation.
- Repair Activator™ BG (Bifida Ferment Lysate, Butylene Glycol Base) and Bifida Repair Complex™ (Bifida Ferment Lysate, High Conc): These ingredients derived from Bifida fermentation help repair skin DNA damaged by UV light, enhance the skin barrier function, and protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Pep®-IDP2 (Decapeptide-4 1000ppm): This biomimetic peptide mimics the function of IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) to help lift and tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
