Growth Factors vs. Anti-Aging and Alternative Ingredients
Question
Regarding Growth Factors like HGF, TGF-B, FGF, IFNg, and PDGF, are they effective for anti-aging? I've seen products like 'medi... S Factor' that seem effective; does their efficacy come from Growth Factors or other ingredients like Ascorbyl Glucoside?
Answer
Based on the search results, the specific Growth Factors you mentioned, such as HGF, TGF-B, FGF, IFNg, and PDGF, are not directly available for sale at our store.
However, the search results show that Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF, Recombinant) is available. According to the available information and research, EGF's primary benefit is in wound healing and skin restoration from photo-aging rather than directly reducing wrinkles.
Apart from Growth Factors, other ingredients with similar properties or benefits for anti-aging and wrinkle reduction that you might be interested in include:
- Peptide Group: Many types of peptides have properties that help stimulate collagen production and reduce wrinkles effectively, such as:
- Pal-GHK, Pal-GQPR (eq Matrixyl 3000): Helps stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce wrinkles, and increase skin elasticity.
- Pep®-PP4 (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4): Supported by research showing efficacy in reducing wrinkles and improving skin appearance.
- Pep®-IDP2 (Decapeptide-4): A Biomimetic Peptide that mimics the function of Growth Factor, helping to lift and firm the skin, reducing sagging and wrinkles.
- Ascorbyl Glucoside (AA-2G Stabilized Vitamin C): A highly stable form of Vitamin C that helps brighten the skin, reduce free radicals, and stimulate collagen synthesis. This is another ingredient found in the S Factor product and may contribute to its anti-aging effects.
Therefore, if you are looking for ingredients specifically for anti-aging and wrinkle reduction, we recommend considering the Peptide group or Ascorbyl Glucoside as alternatives.
