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

Time Frame	Effect of Peptides / EGF	Suitable Skin Types
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)
4–8 weeks	Visible anti-aging benefits such as reduced wrinkles and fine lines, firmer skin, faded pigmentation, increased skin thickness and collagen remodeling	Aging, dry, combination, sensitive
