Peptides ∙ EGF

  • EGF is a specific type of peptide classified as a growth factor with potent skin regenerative properties.

  • Peptides represent a broader class of molecules with varied functions, some of which mimic or complement the activity of growth factors like EGF.

  • Both are important in skincare but differ in size, stability, and mechanism of action

Immediately–few days Supports skin repair by promoting keratinocyte proliferation and wound healing; reduces irritation and inflammation; improves hydration and barrier function Sensitive, dry, acne-prone, post-procedure skin
1–2 weeks Noticeable healing of minor wounds and acne scars; reduction in redness and pigmentation; improved moisture balance Sensitive, acne-prone, dry, combination
2–4 weeks Enhanced skin elasticity and texture; smoother skin; reduced redness and pigmentation; brighter, more even tone All skin types (especially aging, sensitive, acne-prone)
