GROWTH FACTORS

1. DESCRIPTION OF GROWTH FACTORS
Growth Factors are proteins that play a central role in cell communication and regeneration. These natural substances have the ability to stimulate cell growth, division, and repair. When used in skincare, Growth Factors promote the natural regeneration of skin cells and support the repair of damaged skin. They contribute to the renewal of skin structure by stimulating collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin elasticity and firmness.
2. EFFECTS OF GROWTH FACTORS
Growth Factors improve skin health in various ways. They bind to specific receptors on the cell surface, initiating signaling cascades that promote cell growth and division. These processes support skin regeneration and help repair tissue damage. Additionally, Growth Factors stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in tighter and firmer skin. They also help strengthen the skin barrier and improve moisture retention, leading to smoother and more hydrated skin.
3. USE OF GROWTH FACTORS
Growth Factors are popular ingredients in anti-aging products, including eye creams and night creams. They are often used in formulations designed to penetrate deep into the skin, promoting cell renewal and skin repair. Through their versatile application, they help the skin recover from damage and maintain its youthful appearance. Products containing Growth Factors are particularly suitable for mature skin showing signs of aging, as well as skin that requires intensive care and regeneration.
4. SKIN PROBLEMS TARGETED BY GROWTH FACTORS
- Signs of premature aging: Growth Factors help reduce fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin elasticity.
- Loss of skin elasticity and firmness: They promote collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer and tighter skin.
- Damaged skin: Growth Factors support the repair of tissue damage and promote cell renewal.
- Dry and dehydrated skin: They enhance the skin barrier and moisture retention, resulting in hydrated and smooth skin.
- Skin exposed to oxidative stress and environmental factors: Growth Factors strengthen the skin barrier and protect against harmful environmental influences.
